INTRODUGTION. 


The  highest  and  ruosl  substantial  proof  of  the  inspiration  of 
the  Old  and  New  Testament  Scriptures  is  found  in  the  fact  of  their 
unity.  Written  by  men  far  removed  from  each  other  by  genera- 
tions of  the  race,  and  centuries  of  time,  and  under  circumstances 
so  diverse  as  to  have  nothing  in  common,  except  the  race  of  man- 
kind and  its  transpiring  history,  the  various  books  which  com- 
pose the  sacred  volume  have  gravitated  toward  each  other  with 
such  a  peculiar  dignity  and  power  that  they  have  impressed  and 
imposed  a  sense  of  their  unity  upon  the  Christian  heart  and  mind, 
and  that  in  such  measure  as  to  compel  the  recognition  that  they 
stand  quite  apart  by  themselves,  clearly  distinguished  from  all  the 
other  literature  of  the  ages.  They  have  not  come  together  by  the 
fortutitous  hand  of  chance.  They  represent  something  far  more  in- 
telligent and  imposing  than  the  book-binder's  art.  They  carry  in 
themselves  the  peculiar  evidences  which  bind  them  together  in  a 
common  unity,  and  declare  their  kindred  to  each  other.  They  have 
unity  of  subject.  Jesus  Christ  is  the  central  figure  in  them  all. 
Their  lines,  however  divergent  they  may  seem  to  be,  when  prop- 
erly traced,  all  focalize  in  him.  He  is  also  their  circumference, — 
he  bounds  them  all.  To  him  bear  all  the  Scriptures  witness, — to 
him  as  the  Love  of  God  which  bears  the  sin  of  the  world,  himself 
the  bearer  of  sin,  that  he  might  ransom  many.  His  cross  domin- 
ates them  all,  and  interprets  them  all.  Hence,  in  him  is  the  unity 
of  the  Scriptures  disclosed.  Moreover,  there  is  found  in  them  a 
unity  of  authorship.  Written  by  different  men,  nevertheless, 
there  is  discovered  and  clearly  seen  in  the  background  of  every 
individual  part  an  all-controlling  and  directing  mind,  whose  pur- 
pose and  design  is  breathed  into  them  all,  and  gives  unity  to 
them  all:  "God,  who  at  sundry  times  and  in  divers  manners  spake  Jy^^'T '  j 
in  time  past  by  the  prophets,  hath  in  these  last  days  spoken  by 
his  Son."  He  is  the  author  of  them  all.  His  handiwork  is  clear- 
ly distinguished  in  them  all.  It  is  this  fact,  that  he  is  the  author 
of  them  all,  which  gives  an  agreeable  and  unifying  character  to 
their  individual  and  component  parts,  and  it  is  the  fact  that  he 
has  spoken  through  their  words  which  gives  inspired  character  to 
them  as  a  whole.     Hence,  their  unity  and  inspiration  are  one  and 


the  same  thing;  and  to  bring  forth  their  internal  evidences,  which 
serve  the  more  to  rationally  establish  their  unity,  is  to  set  before 
the  minds  of  men  the  essential  proof  of  their  Divine  inspiration. 
Illogical  and  disastrous  is  the  theorj'  that  the  Old  and  New 
Testament  Scriptures  sustain  no  important  and  essential  relation 
to  each  other.  The  New  is  the  complement  of  the  Old.  Without 
the  one  the  other  is  meaningless.  In  the  Old  the  New  is  con- 
cealed; in  the  New  the  Old  is  revealed.  They  stand  or  fall  to- 
gether. They  are  bound  together  by  a  scarlet  thread;  and  to 
break  that  thread  is  to  lose  the  key  to  their  understanding.  Tlie 
compiler  of  these  pages,  through  the  methods  he  has  employed,  has 
sought  to  show  their  essential  unity, — a  task  of  no  small  magni- 
tude, but  involving  great  labor,  and  of  highest  importance  to  tho 
devout  student  of  the  Word  of  God.  The  task  involves  so  much, 
and  calls  for  so  much  of  skill  and  understanding,  that  none  ac- 
quainted with  its  purpose  can  remain  indifferent  to  the  outcome 
of  his  effort,  which  this  volume  presents.  The  work  will  speak 
for  itself,  what  has  been  done  better  than  we  can  describe  it.    We 

speak  for  it  a  prayerful  study.

COMMENDATORY. 


The  honored  compiler  of  this  book  has  been  a  careful  student 
of  the  Bible  almost  twice  as  long  as  the  average  age  of  man;  he 
was  an  earnest  preacher  of  the  gospel  which  the  Bible  contains  be- 
fore some  of  his  present  fellow-laborers  in  the  ministry  of  the  gos- 
pel were  born.  Impressions  made  upon  the  mind  of  the  writer  of 
this  commendation  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  by  the 
devout  spirit  in  which  the  Rev.  H.  T.  Besse  approached  the  word 
of  God  still  live  and  bless  his  spiritual  life.  If  any  one  has  a  right 
to  speak  with  authority  as  to  the  value  of  the  Bible  it  Is  the  veter- 
an of  the  cross  who  has  stood  times  without  number  on  the  picket 
line,  fought  for  a  lifetime  in  the  thickest  of  the  battle,  endured 
something  of  the  camp  and  hospital  life,  and  down  near  the  end 
of  life  finds  the  Book  of  books  still  the  most  living  reality  in  the 
world.     Such  a  veteran  is  the  compiler  of  this  book. 

His  design  was  to  make  apparent  to  every  reader  the  harmony 
which  he  found  to  exist  between  the  Old  Testament  and  the  New. 
This  is  a  most  laudable  design.  He  believed,  and  wanted  his 
readers  to  believe,  that  every  part  of  the  Bible  is  essentially  alive 
to-day  and  ever  will  be.  With  this  end  In  view  he  has  gathered 
on  each  page  what  is  written  by  New  Testament  writers  and  all 
that  bears  upon  the  same  theme  from  the  Old  Testament,  thus 
placing  before  the  reader  at  a  single  glance  both  the  Old  and  the 
New  Testament  literature.  By  this  method  the  essential  unity  of 
the  two  parts  of  the  one  Book  is  not  only  confirmed  but  exhibited. 
This  book  is  sure  to  prove  a  great  help  to  those  who  rightly  use  it. 
It  is  more  than  an  analysis  of  the  Bible,  although  it  includes 
much  of  that;  it  is  more  than  a  reference  Bible,  for  the  passages 
are  at  one  glance  before  the  reader's  eye.  Its  use  will  do  very 
niuch  more,  but  if  nothing  more  were  done,  it  would  be  a  great 
work  to  show  how  perfect  and  complete  la  the  harmony  between 
the  different  parts  of  the  Bible,  and  thus  exhibit  one  of  the  most 
satisfactory  evidences  of  its  divine  inspiration.  The  numerous 
writers  scattered  over  many  centuries,  living  under  varying  cir- 
cumstances, in  different  countries,  and  with  different  national  life, 
yet  have  all  clung  unwaveringly  to  the  same  thought,  ever  return- 
ing, regardless  of  distance  or  direction  of  thought,  to  the  common 
center,  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.

PROLOGUE. 


This  book  is  dedicated  to  the  church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  all  com- 
muuions.  Its  design  is  to  facilitate  the  study  of  the  Bible,  by  which 
we  become  acquainted  with  God.  He  has  bequeathed  to  us  riches 
which  are  of  more  value  than  our  highest  conception.  We  have  no 
way  of  knowing  the  nature  and  importance  of  this  bequest  without 
the  Bible.  It  becomes  every  one  of  us  to  search  diligently  in  looking 
up  our  respective  titles  to  God's  great  gifts.  It  is  certain  that  we 
shall  receive  no  benefit  from  the  goodness  and  love  of  God  unless  we 
comply  with  the  specified  conditions. 

It  may  not  require  much  knowledge  of  the  Bible  for  a  person 
to  repent  of  his  sins  and  be  converted,  so  as  to  have  the  love  of  God 
in  his  soul;  but  all  persons  who  do  truly  love  God  are  intensely  in- 
terested in  his  Word.  A  large  portion  of  the  church  are  very  de- 
ficient in  a  knowledge  of  the  contents  of  the  Bible,  and  of  God's  de- 
sign in  speaking  to  us.  This  fact  prompted  the  compiler  to  prepare 
this  volume.  It  contains  many  more  passages  from  the  Old  Testa- 
ment than  are  found  in  any  reference  Bible:  and  the  advantage  of 
having  them  on  the  same  pages  of  those  of  the  New  must  be  appar- 
ent to  all.  Those  who  study  this  work  will  be  greatly  impressed 
with  the  unity  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments.  Both  evidently 
wore  given  by  one  master  mind  who  is  without  variableness  or 
shadow  of  turning.  The  pure  spiritual  principles  are  the  same  in 
the  Pentateuch  as  those  recorded  in  the  Gospels.  They  are  as  un- 
changeable as  God  himself.  Man  changes  in  different  ages,  and  God 
addresses  him  in  a  way  suitable  to  his  condition,  but  always  main- 
taining the  eternal  principle  of  purity.  We  are  assured  in  the  Book 
that  God  our  common  Father,  Jesus  our  Savior,  and  the  Holy  Spirit 
our  Sanctifier  has  an  intense  desire  to  bestow  upon  us  the  un- 
fathomable treasure  of  his  grace. 

The  Old  and  New  Testaments  are  like  the  Siamese  twins,  when 
we  destroy  one  we  kill  the  other.  They  are  inseparably  connect- 
ed; so  that,  united  they  stand,  divided  they  fall.  The  New  is  the 
supplement  of  the  Old,  and  the  Old  is  the  foundation  of  the  New. 
No  supcrstruction  can  stand  if  the  foundation  is  removed.  The 
New  Testament  writers  are  continually  referring  to  passages  in 
the  Old  Testament  for  their  authority.  This  work  contains  tl.e 
whole  of  the  New  Testament  and  about  the  same  amount  from  the 


Old  Testament.  The  correlative  statements  from  both  the  Old 
and  New  are  put  on  the  same  pages  respectively  throughout  the 
entire  book;  so  no  person  can  read  a  single  page  without  being 
Impressed  with  the  unity  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments. 

It  is  thought  by  some  that  we  only  need  the  New  Testament 
Scripture;  but  Jesus  said,  John  5:39,  "Search  the  Scriptures;  for 
in  them  ye  think  ye  have  eternal  life:  and  they  are  they  which 
testify  of  me."  What  Scriptures?  The  Old  Testament,  the  only 
Scriptures  at  that  time.  Again  he  said,  John  5:46,  "For  had  ye 
believed  Moses,  ye  would  have  believed  me:  for  he  wrote  of  me. 
But  if  ye  believe  not  his  writings,  how  shall  ye  believe  my  words?" 
To  have  a  proper  conception  of  Christ,  we  need  the  writings  of 
Moses.  Paul  said  to  Timothy,  II.  Timothy  3:5,  "From  a  child 
thou  hast  known  the  holy  Scriptures,  which  are  able  to  make  thee 
wise  unto  salvation  through  faith  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus."  What 
Scriptures  had  Timothy  known  from  a  child?  It  was  the  Old  Tes- 
tament, for  none  of  the  New  was  written  at  that  time.  But  can 
the  Old  Testament  Scriptures  make  a  person  wise  unto  salvation 
through  faith  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus?    Paul  says  they  can. 

Again  Jesus  said,  Matthew  4:4,  "Man  shall  not  live  by  bread 
alone,  but  by  every  word  that  proceedeth  out  of  the  mouth  of  God.'' 
In  this  passage  Jesus  teaches  the  importance  of  every  word  o^' 
God.  We  would  by  no  means  ask  persons  to  become  familiar  with 
the  Old  Testament,  and  neglect  the  New.  This  certainly  would  be 
unwise,  so  also  it  is  unwise  to  study  the  New  and  exclude  the  Old. 

Through  this  entire  work  we  have  put  both  together  on  the 
same  pages  respectively,  to  facilitate  the  study  of  the  Old  and  Nevv' 
together,  as  they  ought  to  be  studied. 

Should  persons  into  whose  hand  this  book  may  come  be  helped 
to  a  more  perfect  knowledge  of  God's  will  concerning  us,  and  re- 
ceive a  corresponding  increase  of  the  riches  of  his  grace,  the  de- 
sign of  the  compiler  would  be  realized:  and  we  are  assured  that  the 
great  Triune  God,  our  kind  and  loving  Father,  Savior,  and  Sancti- 
fier,  with  his  vast  resources  will  do  all  in  his  power  to  accomplish 
this  for  his  glory  and  our  good.  We  commit  this  compilation  of 
his  Word  into  his  hands  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  may  study  its 
rages. 

Now  unto  him  that  is  able  to  keep  you  [my  beloved  friend,] 
from  falling,  and  to  present  you  faultless  before  the  presence  of  his 
glory  with  exceeding  joy,  to  the  only  wise  God  our  Saviour,  be  glory 
and  majesty,  dominion  and  power,  both  now  and  ever.    Amen.

too  lengthy  to  be  inserted  here.  It  is  recorded 
in  the  books  of  Esther,  Daniel.  Ezra.  Nehemiah. 
Ezekiel.  and  in  the  latter  part  of  II.  Kings,  II. 
Chronicles  and  Jeremiah.  We  will  give  a  very 
brief  reference  to  incidents  connected  with  it. 

Before  this  captivity  many  of  the  Jews  were 
inclined  to  worshiv>  Baal,  and  during  their  exile 
they  were  surrounded  with  idolatrous  worship; 
but  they  learned  that  Jehovah  was  the  only  true 
(!od.  On  this  point  the  faith  of  Shadrach.  Me- 
shach,  and  Abednego  was  severely  tested.  The 
lireparations  for  idol  worship  were  exceedingly 
elaborate.  A  great  image  made  of  gold  ninety 
feet  high  was  set  up;  all  kinds  of  music  were

Birth  of  Jesus. 


Babylon,  Jeconiah  begat  Salathiel,  and 
Salathiel   begat  Zerubbabel. 

13  Zerubbabel  begat  Abiud,  and  Abi- 
ud  begat  Eliakim,  and  Eliakim  begat 
Azor. 

14  And  Azor  begat  Sodoc,  and  Sodoc 
begat  Achim,  and  Achim  begat  Eliud. 

15  And  Eliud  begat  Eleazar,  and 
Eleazar  begat  Matthan,  and  Matthan 
■begat  Jacob, 

16  And  Jacob  begat  Joseph  tbe  hus- 
band of  Mary,  of  whom  was  born  Je- 
sus, who  is  called  the  Christ. 

17  -So  all  the  generations  from 
Abraham  to  David  are  fourteen  gen- 
erations, and  from  David  until  the  car- 
rying away  into  Babylon  are  fourteen 
gpnerations,  and  from  the  carrying 
away  into  Babylon  unto  Christ  are 
fourteen  generations. 

18  Now  the  birth  of  Jesus  Christ 
was  on  this  wise:  When  as  his  mother 
Mary  was  espoused  to  Joseph,  before 
they  came  together,  she  was  found  with 
child  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

19  Then  Joseph  her  husband,  being 
a  just  man,  and  not  willing  iito  make 


her   a  public  example  was  minded  to 
put  her  away  privily. 

20  But  while  he  thought  on  these 
things,  behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  in  a  dream,  saying, 
Joseph,  thou  son  of  David,  fear  not  to 
take  unto  thee  Mary  thy  wife:  for  that 
which  is  conceived  in  her  is  of  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

21  And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son, 
ajid  thou  shalt  call  his  name  *  JESUS: 
afor  he  shall  save  his  people  from  their 
sins. 

22  Now  all  this  was  done,  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  of 
the  Lord  by  the  prophet,  saying, 

23  f-Behold,  a  virgin  shall  be  with 
child  and  shall  bring  forth  a  son,  and 
they  shall  call  his  name  Immanuel, 
which  being  interpreted  is,  God  with 
us. 

24  Then  Joseph  being  raised  from 
sleep  did  as  the  angel  of  the  Lord  had 
bidden  him,  and  took  unto  him  his 
wife: 

25  And  knew  her  not  till  she  had 
brought  forth  cher  firstborn  son  and 
he  called  his  name  JESUS.

found  some  uncleanness  in  her:  then

employed;  all  the  nobility  of  the  vast  realm 
were  brought  tos^ether.  Every  device  to  make 
it  popular  vras  employed.  The  inexorable  Neb- 
uchadnezzar issued  the  edict  that  whosoever 
falleth  not  down  and  worshippeth  this  image 
should  be  cast  into  a  burning  fiery  furnace. 
These  three  men  declared  to  the  monarch  that 
they  would  not  worship  the  golden  image.  They 
were  cast  into  the  furnace.  The  Son  of  God 
was  with  them,  and  the  fire  only  burned  off 
their  bonds. 

Our  limits  requires  us  to  pass  by  Daniel  who 
preferred  to  be  caged  with  tierce  lions  rather 
than  to  be  deprived  of  the  privilege  of  kneel- 
ing in  prayer  three  times  a  day. 

We  call  attention  to  the  fortitude  of  queen 
Esther  who  saved  the  Jewish  people  from  a 
threatened  extermination.

man  and  of  beast:  it  is  mine. 


tThe  triplet  of  fourteen  generations  makes 
forty-two  persons.  Matthew  has  only  given 
forty-one  names.  But.after  Jeconiah  orJehoi- 
achin  became  king  in  Jerusalem,  he  was  carried 
to  Babylon,  so  his  name  is  reckoned  with  those 
before  the  captivity,  and  also  with  those  after.

Seek  Jesus. 


CHAPTER  n. 

Wise  men  directed  to  Christ.  11  They  wor- 
ship him.  14  Joseph  fleeth  into  Etrypt.  16  Her- 
od slayeth  the  children.  19  Herod  died.  23  Jo- 
seph with  his  family  returns  to  Nazareth. 

1  Now  when  Jesus  was  born  in  Beth- 
lehem of  Judaea  in  the  days  of  Herod 
the  king,  behold,  athere  came  wise  men 
from  the  east  to  Jerusalem, 

2  Saying,  Where  is  he  that  is  born 
King  of  the  Jews?  for  we  have  seen 
bhis  star  in  cthe  east,  and  are  come  to 
worship  him. 

3  When  Herod  the  king  had  heard 
these  things,  he  was  troubled,  and  all 
Jerusalem  with  him. 

4  And  when  he  had  gathered  all 
dthe  *chief  priests  and  scribes  of  the 
people  together,  he  demanded  of  them 
where  Christ  should  be  born. 

5.  And  they  said  unto  him,  ein  Beth- 
lehem of  Judaea:  for  thus  it  is  written 


by  the  prophet, 

6  And  thou  Bethlehem,  in  the  land 
of  Judah,  art  not  the  least  among  the 
princes  of  Judah:  ffor  out  of  thee 
shall  come  a  Governor,  that  shall  rule 
my  people  Israel. 

7  Then  Herod,  when  he  had  privily 
called  the  wise  men,  inquired  of  them 
diligently  what  time  the  star  appeared. 

8  And  he  sent  them  to  Bethlehem, 
and  said.  Go  and  search  diligently  for 
the  young  child;  and  when  ye  have 
found  him,  bring  me  word  again,  that 
I  may  come  and  worship  him  also. 

9  When  they  heard  the  king,  they 
departed;  and,  lo,  the  star,  which  they 
saw  in  the  east,  went  before  them,  till 
it  came  and  stood  over  where  the  young 
child  was. 

10  When  they  saw  the  star,  they 
rejoiced  with   exceeding  ggreat  joy.

ST.  MATTHEW  H. 


Joseph  returns. 


11  And  when  they  were  come  into 
the  house,  they  saw  the  young  child 
with  Mary  his  mother,  and  fell  down, 
and  jworshiped  him:  and  when  they 
had  opened  their  treasures,  kthey  pre- 
sented unto  him  gifts;  gold,  and  frank- 
incense,   and    myrrh. 

12  And  being  warned  of  God  in  a 
dream  that  they  should  not  return  to 
Herod,  they  departed  into  their  own 
country   another   way. 

13  And  when  they  were  departed, 
behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  appear- 
eth  to  Joseph  in  a  dream,  saying. 
Arise,  and  take  the  young  child  and 
his  mother,  and  flee  into  Egypt  and  be 
thou  there  until  I  bring  thee  word:  for 
IHerod  will  seek  the  young  child  to  de- 
stroy him. 

14  When  he  arose,  he  took  the 
young  child  and  his  mother  by  night, 
and  departed  into  Egypt: 

15  And  was  there  until  the  death  of 
Herod:  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  of  the  Lord  by  the  prophet, 
saying,  aOut  of  Eg^'pt  have  I  called  my 
son.

he  was  mocked  of  the  wise  men,  was 
exceeding  wroth,  and  sent  forth,  and 
slew  all  the  children  that  were  in  Beth-

in  a  dream  to  Joseph  in  Egypt, 

20  Saying,  Arise,  and  take  the  young 
child  and  his  mother,  and  go  into  the 
land  of  Israel:  for  they  are  dead  which 
sought  the  young  child's  life.

into  the  land  of  Israel. 

22  But  when  he  heard  that  Arch- 
elaus  did  reign  in  Judsea  in  the  room 
of  his  father  Herod,  he  was  afraid  to 
go  thither:  notwithstanding,  being 
warned  of  God  in  a  dream,  he  turned 
aside  into  the  parts  of  Galilee:

John's  Testimony. 


CHAPTER  HI. 

The  ministry  of  John  the  Baptist.  13  Jesus 
baptized. 

1  In  those  days  came  John  the  Bap- 
tist, preaching  in  the  wilderness  of  Ju- 
daea. 

2  And  saying,  Repent  ye:  for  dthe 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

3  For  this  is  he  that  was  spoken  of 
by  the  prophet  Isaiah,  saying,  aThe 
voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness, 
Prepare  ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make 
his  paths  straight. 

4  And  the  same  John  bhad  his  rai- 
ment of  camel's  hair,  and  a  leathern 
girdle  about  his  loins;  and  his  meat 
was  clocusts  and  dwild  honey. 

5  Then  went  out  to  him  Jerusalem, 
and  all  Judaea,  and  all  the  region 
round   about  Jordan, 

6  And  were  baptized  of  him  in  Jor- 
dan,  confessing   their   sins. 

7  But  when  he  saw  many  of  the 
Pharisees  and   Sadducees  come  to   his 


baptism,  he  said  unto  them,  O  genera- 
tion of  vipers,  who  hath  warned  you 
to  flee  from  the  wrath  to  come? 

8  Bring  forth  therefore  fruits  meet 
for  repentance: 

9  And  think  not  to  say  within  your- 
selves, We  have  Abraham  to  our  fa- 
ther: for  I  say  unto  you,  that  God  is 
able  of  these  stones  to  raise  up  chil- 
dren tmto   Abraham. 

10  And  now  also  the  ax  is  laid 
unto  the  root  of  the  trees:  therefore 
every  tree  which  bringeth  not  forth 
good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into 
the  fire. 

11  I  indeed  baptize  you  with  wa- 
ter unto  repentance:  but  he  that  Com- 
eth after  me  is  mightier  than  I,  whose 
shoes  I  am  not  worthy  to  bear:  ehe 
shall  baptize  you  with  the  tHoly  Ghost, 
and    with    fire: 

12  fWhose  tfan  is  in  his  hand,  and 
he  will  thoroughly'  purge  his  floor,  and 
gather  his  wheat  into  the  garner;    but

II.  KINGS  i:8  bAnd  they  answered 
him.  He  was  a  hairy  man,  and  girt  with 
a  girdle  of  leather  about  his  loins.  And 
he  said,  It  is  Elijah  the  Tishbite. 

ZECHARIAH  xiii:4  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
prophets  shall  be  ashamed  every  one 
of  his  vision,  when  he  hath  prophesied; 
neither  shall  they  wear  a  rough  gar- 
ment  to    deceive: 

LEVITICUS  xi:22  cEven  these  of 
them  ye  may  eat;  the  locust  after  his 
kind,  and  the  bald  locust  after  his  kind, 
and  the  beetle  after  his  kind,  and  the 
grasshopper  after  his  kind.

Jerusalem,  shall  be  called  holy, 

4  When  the  Lord  shall  have  washed 
away  the  filth  of  the  daughters  of  Zion, 
and  shall  have  pureed  the  blood  of  Je- 


rusalem from  the  midst  thereof  by  the 
spirit  of  judgment. 

ISAIAH  xliv:3  I  will  pour  my  Spir- 
it upon  thy  seed,  and  my  blessing  up- 
on thine  offspring: 

MALACHIiii:2  But  who  may  abide 
the  day  of  his  coming?  and  who  shall 
stand  when  he  appeareth?  for  he  is  like 
a  refiner's  fire,  and  like  fullers'  soap: 

MALACHI  iii:3  fAnd  he  shall  sit  as 
a  refiner  and  purifier  of  silver:  and  he 
shall  purify  the  sons  of  Levi,  and  purge 
them  as  gold  and  silver,  that  they  may 
offer  unto  the  Lord  an  offering  in  right- 
eousness. 


t  Fire  is  a  symbol  of  the  presence  of  God.  He 
led  the  Israelites  in  the  wilderness  with  a  cloudy 
pillar  by  day  and  a  pillar  of  fire  by  nitrht.  On 
the  day  of  Pentecost  there  appeared  cloven 
tongues  like  as  of  fire  which  sat  upon  each  dis- 
ciple. 

Fire  is  all  consuming.  Hence  to  be  bapti/^ed 
with  the  Holy  Ghost  and  fire,  is  to  be  abandoned 
to  God. 

t  The  fan  is  an  instrument  to  winnow  out  the 
chaff  from  grain.  Christ  winnowed  out  of  his 
church  all  impurity  of  every  member.  He  gave 
no  place  for  the  legalism  of  the  Pharisees,  or 
anything  else  which  was  contrary  to  inward 
holiness.  He  thoroughly  purged  his  floor;  so 
the  Pentecostal  church  was  a  band  of  holy  men 
and  women  efficient  in  saving  others.

14  But  John  forbade  him,  saying,  I 
have  need  to  be  baptized  of  thee,  and 
comest  thou  to  me? 

15  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
him.  Suffer  it  to  be  so  now:  for  thus 
it  becometh  us  to  fulfil  all  righteous- 
ness.      Then  he  suffered  him. 

16  And  Jesus,  when  he  was  bap- 
tized, went  up  straightway  out  of  the 
water:  and,  lo,  the  heavens  were 
opened  unto  him,  and  he  saw  hthe 
Spirit  of  God  descending  like  a  dove, 
and  lighting  upon  him: 

17  And  lo  a  voice  from  heaven,  say- 
ing, iThis  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom 
I  am  well  pleased.

Temptation  of  Jesus. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

Christ's  fasiini^  and  temptation.  13  He  made 
his  abode  in  Capernaum.  l»  He  calls  Peter.  An- 
drew, James  and  Jolm  to  leave  the  hshing  busi- 
ness to  become  ushers  ol  men. 

1  Then  was  Jesus  led  up  of  athe 
Spirit  into  the  wilderness  to  be  tempt- 
ed of  the  devil. 

2  And.  when  bhe  had  fasted  forty 
days  and  forty  nights,  he  was  after- 
ward a  hungered. 

3  And  when  the  tempter  came  to 
him,  he  said.  If  thou  be  the  Son  of 
God,  command  that  these  stones  be 
made  bread. 

4  But  he  answered  and  said.  It  is 
written,  cMan  shall  not  live  by  bread 
alone,  but  by  every  word  that  proceed- 
eth  out  of  the  mouth  of  God. 

5  Then  the  devil  taketh  him  up  in- 
to dthe  holy  city,  and  setteth  him  on  a 
pinnacle  of  the  temple, 

6  And  saith  unto  him.  If  thou  be 
the  Son  of  God,  cast  thyself  down:  for 

nor  drink  water.  And  He  wrote  upon 
the  tables  the  worus  of  the  covenant, 
the  ten  commandments. 

I.KINGS  xix:5  And  as  he  [Elijah] 
lay  and  slept  under  a  juniper  tree,  be- 
hold, then  an  augel  touched  him,  and 
said  unto  him.  Arise  and  eat. 

8  And  he  arose,  and  did  eat  and 
drink,  and  went  in  the  strength  of 
that  meat  forty  days  and  forty  nights 
unto  Horeb  the  mount  of  God. 

DEUTERONOMY  viii:3  cAnd  he 
humbled  thee,  and  suffered  thee  to 
hunger,  and  fed  thee  with  manna, 
which  th&u  knewest  not,  neither  did 
thy  fathers  know;  that  he  might  make 
thee  know  that  man  doth  not  live  by 
bread  only,  but  by  every  word  that  pro- 
ceedeth  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord 
doth  man  live. 

ISAIAH  xlviii:2  dFor  they  call 
themselves  of  the  holy  city,  and  stay 
themselves  upon  the  God  of  Israel: 
The  Lord  of  Hosts  is  his  name. 

ISAIAH  LII:1  Awake,  awake,  put 
on  thy  strength,  O  Zion;  put  on  thy 
beautiful  garments,  O  Jerusalem,  the 
holy  city:  for  henceforth  there  shall 
no  more  come  unto  thee  the  uncir- 
cumcised  and  the  unclean.

charge  concerning  thee:  and  in  their 
hands  they  shall  bear  thee  up,  lest  at 

/  any  time  thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a 
stone. 

;'  7  Jesus  said  unto  him,  It  is  written 
again,  hThou  shalt  not  tempt  the  Lord 
thy  God. 

8  Again,  the  devil  taketh  him  up 
into  an  exceeding  high  mountain,  and 
sheweth  him  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
world,  and  the  glory  of  them; 

9  And  saith  unto  him,  All  these 
things  will  I  give  thee,  if  thou  wilt 
fall  down  and  worship  me. 

10  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  him,  Get 
thee  hence,  Satan:  for  it  is  written, 
iThou  S'halt  worship  the  Lord  thy  God, 
land  him  only  shalt  thou  serve. 

11  Then  the  devil  leaveth  him,  and, 
behold,  angels  came  and  ministered 
unto  him. 

12  Now  when  Jesus  had  heard  that 
John  was  cast  into  prison,  he  departed 
into  Galilee; 

13  And  leaving  Nazareth,  he  came 
and  dwelt  in  Capernaum,  which  is  up- 
on the  sea  coast,  in  the  borders  of  Zeb-

Id  kThe  people  which  sat  in  dark- 
ness saw  great  light;  and  to  them  which 
sat  in  the  region  and  shadow  of  death 
light  is  sprung  up. 

17  From  that  time  Jesus  began  to 
preach,  and  to  say.  Repent:  for  the 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand. 

18  And  Jesus,  walking  by  the  sea 
of  Galilee,  saw  two  brethren,  Simon 
called  Peter,  and  Andrew  his  brother, 
casting  a  net  into  the  sea:  for  they 
were  fishers. 

19  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Follow 
me,  and  I  will  make  you  fishers  of 
men. 

20  And  they  straightway  left  their 
nets,  and  followed  him. 

21  And  going  on  from  thence,  he 
saw  other  two  brethren,  James  the  son 
of  Zebedee.  and  John  his  brother,  in  a 
ship  with  Zebedee  their  father,  mend- 
ing their  nets;   and  he  called  them. 

22  And  they  immediately  left  the 
ship  and  their  father,  and  followed 
him.

ilee, teaching  in  their  synagogues,  and 
preaching  the  gospel  of  the  kingdom,

vexation,  when  at  the  first  he  lightly 
afflicted  the  land  of  Zebulun,  and  the

hour  himself;  and  discover  not  a  secret

tc  shame,  and  thine  infamy  turn  not

pluck  it  out,  and  cast  it  from  thee:  for 
it  is  profitable  for  thee  that  one  of  thy

thy  whole  body  should  be  cast  into 
-hell.

+  In  no  place  in  the  Bible  are  we  required  to 
hate  an  enemy  :  but  it  does  oppose  hatred.  Yet 
God  has  often  required  good  men  to  execute  his 
judirments  usrainst  evil  doers,  not  in  the  spirit 
of  personal  hatred  or  revenge,  but  of  abhorrence 
of  evil,  to  counteract  the  evil  influence  and  to 
avoid  the  corruption  of  all  mankind.  A  law 
without  a  penalty  is  a  farce.  The  following 
passages  are  to  the  point:  "I  will  punish  you 
according  to  the  fruit  of  your  doings,  saith  the 
Lord"  (Jeremiah  xxi.  14) ;  "Woe  unto  the  wick- 
ed  for  the  reward  of  his  hands  shall  be 

given  him"  (Isaiah  iii.  11).  No  community  can 
exist  without  the  execution  of  legal  penalties; 
for  should  no  punishment  be  administered 
against  evil  doers,  there  would  be  a  community 
of  criminals  destroying  one  another:  and  there 
would  be  no  security  for  virtue,  property  or  life.

1  Take  heed  that  ye  do  not  your 
alms  before  men,  to  be  seen  of  them: 
otherwise  ye  have  no  reward  of  your 
Faither    which    is    in    heaven.

thee,  as  the  hypocrites  do  in  the  syn-

may  have  glory  of  men.  Verily  I  say 
unto   you,    They    have    their    reward.

himself   shall   reward  thee  openly.

they  love  to  pray  standing  in  the  syn-

Verily  I  say  unto  you.  They  have  their 
reward.

shut  thy  door,  pray  to  thy  Father  which 
is  in  secret;  and  thy  Father  which 
seeth  in  secret  shall  reward  thee  open-

Christ's  Sermon 


ST.  MATTHEW  VI. 


On  the  Mount. 


rust   doth   corrupt,   and   where   thieves 
do  not  break  through  nor  steal: 

21  For  where  your  treasure  is,  there 
will   your   heart   be   also. 

22  The  light  of  the  body  is  the  eye: 
if  therefore  thine  eye  be  single,  thy 
whole  body  shall  be  full  of  light. 

23  But  if  thine  eye  be  evil,  thy 
whole  body  shall  be  full  of  darkness. 
If  therefore  the  light  that  is  in  thee 
be  darkness,  how  great  is  that  dark- 
ness! 

24  No  man  can  serve  two  masters: 
for  either  he  will  hate  the  one,  and  love 
the  other;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the 
one,  and  despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot 
serve  God  and  mammon. 

25  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  iTake 
no  thought  for  your  life,  what  ye  shall 
eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink;  nor  yet 
for  your  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on. 
Is  not  the  life  more  than  meat,  and 
the  body  than  raiment? 

26  JBehold  the  fowls  of  the  air:  for 
they  sow  not,  neither  do  they  reap,  nor 
gather  into  barns;  yet  your  heavenly 
Father  feedeth  thsm.  Are  ye  not  much 
better  than   they? 

PSALM  lv:22  iCast  thy  burden  up- 
on the  Lord,  and  he  shall  sustain  thee: 
he  shall  never  suffer  the  righteous  to 
be  moved. 

JOB  xxxviii:41  JWho  provideth  for 
the  raven  his  food?  when  his  young 
ones  cry  unto  God,  they  wander  for 
lack  of  meat. 

PSALM  cxlvii:9  He  giveth  to  the 
beast  his  food,  and  to  the  young  rav- 
ens which  cry. 

L  KINGS  iii:7  kAnd  now,  0  Lord 
my  God,  thou  hast  made  thy  servant 
king  instead  of  David  my  father:  and 
I  am  but  a  little  child:  I  know  not 
how  to  go  out  or  come  in. 

8  And  thy  servant  is  in  the  midst 
of  thy  people  which  thou  hast  chosen, 
a  great  people,  that  cannot  be  num- 
bered  nor   counted   for   multitude. 


27  Which  of  you  by  taking  thought 
can  add  one  cubit  unto  his  stature? 

28  And  why  take  ye  thought  for 
raiment?  Consider  the  lilies  of  the 
field,  how  they  grow;  they  toil  not, 
neither  do  they  spin: 

29  And  yet  I  say  unto  you.  That 
even  Solomon  in  all  his  glory  was  not 
arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

30  Wherefore,  if  God  so  clothe  the 
grass  of  the  field,  which  to-day  is,  and 
to  morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven,  shall 
he  not  much  more  clothe  you,  O  ye 
of  little  faith? 

31  Therefore  take  no  thought,  say- 
ing. What  shall  we  eat?  or.  What  shall 
we  drink,  or,  wherewithal  shall  we  be 
clothed? 

32  (For  after  all  these  things  do  the 
Gentiles  seek:)  for  your  heavenly  Fa- 
ther knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  all 
these  things. 

33  But  kseek  ye  first  the  kingdom 
of  God,  and  his  righteousness;  and  all 
these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you. 

34  Take  therefore  no  thought  for 
the  morrow:  for  the  morrow  shall  take 
thought  for  the  things  of  itself.  Suffi- 
cient unto  the  day  is  the  evil  thereof. 

9  Give  therefore  thy  servant  an  un- 
aerstanding  heart  to  judge  thy  people, 
that  I  may  discern  between  good  and 
bad:  for  who  is  able  to  judge  this  thy 
so  great  a  people? 

10  And  the  speech  pleased  the  Lord, 
that  Solomon  had  asked  this  thing. 

13  And  I  have  also  given  thee  that 
which  thou  hast  not  asked,  both  riches, 
and  honour:  so  that  there  shall  not 
be  any  among  the  kings  like  unto  thee 
all  thy  days. 

PSALM  xxxiv:10  The  young  lions 
do  lack,  and  suffer  hunger:  but  they 
that  seek  the  Lord  shall  not  want  any 
good  thing. 

PSALM  xxxvii:25  I  have  been 
young,  and  now  am  old;  yet  have  I  not 
seen  the  righteous  forsaken,  nor  his. 
seed   begging   bread.

13  Enter  ye  in  at  the  strait  gate: 
for  wide  is  the  gate,  and  broad  is  the 
way,  that  leadeth  to  destruction,  and 
many  there   be  which   go   in   thereat: 

14  Because  strait  is  the  gate,  and 
narrow  is  the  way,  which  leadeth  unto 
life,  and  few  there  be  that  find  it. 

15  rBeware  of  false  prophets,  which 
come  to  you  in  sheep's  clothing,  but 
inwardly  they  are  sravening  wolves. 

16  Ye  shall  know  them  by  their 
fruits.  Do  men  gather  grapes  of 
thorns,   or   figs   of   thistles? 

17  Even  so  every  good  tree  bring- 
eth  forth  good  fruit;  but  a  corrupt 
tree  bringeth  forth  evil  fruit. 

18  A  good  tree  cannot  bring  forth 
evil  fruit,  neither  can  a  corrupt  tree 
bring   forth   good   fruit. 

19  Every  tree  that  bringeth  not 
forth  good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast 
into  the  fire.

God. 

JEREMIAH  xxiii:  16  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  Hosts,  Hearken  not  unto  the 
words  of  the  prophets  that  prophesy 
unto  you;  they  make  you  vain:  they 
speak  a  vision  of  their  own  heart,  and 
not  out  of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

DEUTERONOMY  XIII:  1  rif  there 
arise  among  you  a  prophet,  or  a  dream- 
er of  dreams,  and  giveth  thee  a  sign 
or  a  wonder, 

2  And  the  sign  or  the  wonder  come 
to  pass,  whereof  he  spake  unto  thee, 
saying.  Let  us  go  after  other  gods, 
M'hich  thou  hast  not  known,  and  let  us 
serve   them; 

3  Thou  Shalt  not  hearken  unto  the 
words  of  that  prophet,  or  that  dreamer 
of  dreams:  for  the  Lord  your  God 
proveth  you,  to  know  whether  ye  love 
the  Lord  your  God  with  all  your  heart 
and  with  all  your  soul. 

MICAH  iii:5  sThus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  the  prophets  that  make  my 
people  err,  that  bite  with  their  teeth, 
and  cry.  Peace;  and  he  that  putteth 
not  into  their  mouths,  they  even  pre- 
pare war  against  him: 


20  Wherefore  by  their  fruits  ye 
shall  know  tnem. 

21  Not  every  one  that  saith  unto 
me,  tLord,  Lord,  shall  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  heaven;  but  he  that  doeth 
the  will  of  my  Father  which  is  in 
heaven. 

22  Many  will  say  to  me  in  that 
day,  Lord,  Lord,  uhave  we  not  prophe- 
sied in  thy  name,  and  in  thy  name 
have  cast  out  devils?  and  in  thy  name 
done  many  wonderful  works? 

23  And  then  will  I  profess  unto 
them,  I  never  knew  you:  vdepart  from 
me,    ye    that    work   iniquity. 

24  Therefore  whosoever  heareth 
these  sayings  of  mine,  and  doeth  them,

which  built  his  house  upon  a  rock: 

25  And  the  rain  descended,  and  the 
floods  came,  and  the  winds  blew,  and 
beat  upon  that  house;  and  it  fell  not: 
for   it  was  founded   upon  a  rock. 

HOSEA  viii:2  tisrael  shall  cry  unto 
me,  My  God,  we  know  thee. 

3  Israel  hath  cast  off  the  thing  that 
is  good:    the  enemy  shall  pursue  him. 

4  They  have  set  up  kings,  but  not 
by  me:  they  have  made  princes,  and  I 
knew  it  not:  of  their  silver  and  their 
gold  have  they  made  them  idols,  that 
they  may  be  cut  off.

lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  he  saw  Israel 
abiding  in  his  tents  according  to  their

on him. 

3  And  he  took  up  his  parable,  and 
said,  Balaam  the  son  of  Beor  hath  said, 
and  the  man  whose  eyes  are  open  hath 
said: 

4  He  hath  said,  which  heard  the

a  Leper. 


26  And  every  one  that  heareth  these 
sayings  of  mine,  and  doeth  them  not, 
shall  be  likened  unto  a  foolish  man, 
which  built  his  house  upon  the  sand: 

27  And  the  rain  descended,  and  the 
floods  came,  and  the  winds  blew,  and 
beat  upon  that  house;  and  it  fell:  and 
great  was  the  fall  of  it. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus 
had  ended  these  sayings,  the  people 
were  astonished  at  his  doctrine: 

29  For  he  taught  them  as  one  hav- 
ing authority,  and  not  as  the  scribes. 

CHAPTER   Vni. 

Christ  cleansed  a  leper.  5  He  healed  a  centu- 
rion's servant.  14  Healed  Peter's  mother-in- 
law.  16  He  healed  many.  18  Self-denial  to  fol- 
low Christ.  23  Calmed  the  sea.  28  Dispossessed 
two  men  of  devils.  30  Suffered  the  devils  to 
enter  the  swine. 

LEVITICUS  XIV  :1  wAnd  the  Lord 
§pake  unto  Moses,  saying, 

2  This  shall  be  the  law  of  the  leper 
in  the  day  of  his  cleansing:  He  shall 
be  brought  unto  the  priest: 

3  And  the  priest  shall  go  forth  out 
of  the  camp;  and  the  priest  shall  look, 
and,  behold,  if  the  plague  of  leprosy 
be  healed  in  the  leper; 

4  Then  shall  the  priest  command 
to  take  for  him  that  is  to  be  cleansed 
two  birds  alive  and  clean,  and  cedar 
wood,  and  scarlet,  ana    hyssop: 

5  And  the  priest  shall  command 
that  one  of  the  birds  be  killed  in  an 
earthen    vessel    over    running    water. 

6  As  for  the  living  bird,  he  shall 
take  it,  and  the  cedar  wood,  and  the 
scarlet,  and  the  hyssop,  and  shall  dip 
them  and  the  living  bird  in  the  blood 
of  the  bird  that  was  killed  over  the 
running  water: 

7  And  he  shall  sprinkle  upon  him 
that  is  to  be  cleansed  from  the  leprosy 
seven  times,  and  shall  pronounce  him 
clean,  and  shall  let  the  living  bird 
loose  into  the  open  field. 

8  And  he  that  is  to  be  cleansed 
shall  wash  his  clothes,  and  shave  off 
all  his  hair,  and  wash  himself  in  wa- 
ter, that  he  may  be  clean:  and  after 
that  he  shall  come  into  the  camp,  and 
shall  tarry  abroad  out  of  his  tent  seven 
days. 


1  When  he  was  come  down  from 
the  mountain,  great  multitudes  fol- 
lowed him. 

2  And,  behold,  there  came  a  leper 
and  worshiped  him,  saying,  Lord,  if 
thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

3  And  Jesus  put  forth  his  hand;  and 
touched  him,  saying,  I  will;  be  thou 
clean.  And  immediately  his  leprosy 
was  cleansed. 

4  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  See 
thou  tell  no  man;  but  go  thy  way, 
shew  thyself  to  the  priest  and  offer 
the  gift  that  wMoses  commanded,  for 
a   testimony   unto   them. 

5  And  when  Jesus  was  entered  into 
Capernaum,  there  came  unto  him  a 
centurion,  beseeching  him, 

9  But  it  shall  be  on  the  seventh 
day,  that  he  shall  shave  all  his  hair 
off  his  head  and  his  beard  and  his  eye- 
brows, even  all  his  hair  he  shall  shave 
off:  and  he  shall  wash  his  clothes,  al- 
so he  shall  wash  his  flesh  in  water,  and 
he  shall  be  clean. 

10  And  on  the  eighth  day  he  shall 
take  two  he  lambs  without  blemish, 
and  one  ewe  lamb  of  the  first  year 
without  blemish,  and  three  tenth 
deals  of  fine  flour  for  a  meat  offering, 
mingled  with  oil,  and  one  log  of  oil. 

11  And  the  priest  that  maketh  him 
clean  shall  present  the  man  that  is 
to  be  made  clean,  and  those  things, 
before  the  Lord,  at  the  door  of  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

12  And  the  priest  shall  take  one 
he  lamb,  and  offer  him  for  a  trespass 
offering,  and  the  log  of  oil,  and  wave 
them  for  a  wave  offering  before  the 
Lord: 

13  And  he  shall  slay  the  lamb  in 
the  place  where  he  shall  kill  the  sin 
offering  and  the  burnt  offering,  in  the 
holy  place:  for  as  the  sin  offering  is 
the  priest's,  so  is  the  trespass  offering: 
it  is  most  holy: 

14  And  the  priest  shall  take  some 
of  the  blood  of  the  trespass  offering, 
and  the  priest  shall  put  it  upon  the 
tip  of  the  right  ear  of  him  that  is  to 
be  cleansed,  and  upon  the  thumb  of 
his  right  hand,  and  upon  the  great  toe

6  And  saying,  Lord,  my  servant 
lieth  at  home  sick  of  the  palsy,  griev- 
ously tormented. 

7  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  1  will 
come  and  heal  him. 

8  The  centurion  answered  and  said, 
Lord,  I  am  not  worthy  that  thou 
shouldest  come  under  my  roof:  but 
xspeak  the  word  only,  and  my  servant 
shall  be  healed. 

9  For  I  am  a  man  under  authority, 
having  soldiers  under  me:  and  I  say 
to  this  man,  Go,  and  he  goeth;  and  to 
another,  Come,  and  he  cometh;  and  to 
my  servant.  Do  this,  and  he  doeth  it. 

10  When  Jesus  heard  it,  he  mar- 
velled, and  said  to  them  that  followed. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  have  not 
found  so  great  faith,  no,  not  in  Israel. 

11  And  I  say  unto  you,  That  ymany

and  shall  sit  down  with  Abraham,  and 
Isaac,  and  Jacob,  in  the  kingdom  of 
heaven:

of  the  log  of  oil,  and  pour  it  into  the 
palm  of  his  own  left  hand: 

IG  And  the  priest  shall  dip  his 
right  finger  in  the  oil  that  is  in  his 
left  hand,  and  shall  sprinkle  of  the  oil 
with  his  finger  seven  times  before  the 
Lord:

and  healed  them,  and  delivered  them 
from    their   destructions. 

GENESIS  xii:3  yAnd  I  will  bless 
them  that  bless  thee  [Abram]  and

the  earth  be  blessed. 

ISAIAH  ii:2  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  in  the  last  days,  that  the  moun- 


12  But  the  children  of  the  kingdom 
shall  be  cast  out  into  outer  darkness: 
there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing 
of  teeth. 

13  And  Jesus  said  unto  the  cen- 
turion. Go  thy  way;  and  as  thou  hast 
believed,  so  be  it  done  unto  thee.  And 
his  servant  was  healed  in  the  selfsame 
hour. 

14  And  when  Jesus  was  come  into 
Peter's  house,  he  saw  his  wife's  mother 
laid,  and  sick  of  a  fever. 

15  And  he  touched  her  hand,  and 
the  fever  left  her:  and  she  arose,  and 
ministered  unto  them. 

16  When  the  even  was  come,  they 
brought  unto  him  many  that  were  pos- 
sessed with  devils:  and  he  cast  out 
the  spirits  with  his  word,  and  healed 
all  that  were  sick: 

17  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  by  Isaiah  the  prophet,  say- 
ing, zHimself  took  our  infirmities,  and 
bare  our  sicknesses. 

18  Now  when  Jesus  saw  great  mul- 

tain  of  the  Lord's  house  shall  be  es- 
tablished in  the  top  of  the  mountains, 
and  shall  be  exalted  above  the  hills; 
and  all   nations  shall  flow   unto  it. 

3  And  many  people  shall  go  and 
say.  Come  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to  the 
mountain  of  the  Lord,  to  the  house 
of  the  God  of  Jacob;  and  he  will  teach 
us  of  his  ways,  and  we  will  walk  in 
his  paths:  for  out  of  Zion  shall  go 
forth  the  law,  and  the  word  of  the 
Lord  from  Jerusalem. 

ISAIAH  xi:10  And  in  that  day 
there  shall  be  a  root  of  Jesse  [Jesus], 
which  shall  stand  for  an  ensign  ol 
the  people;  to  it  shall  the  Gentiles 
seek:    and  his  rest  shall  be  glorious.

ment to  depart  unto  the  other  side. 

19  And  a  certain  scribe  came,  and 
said  unto  him,  Master,  I  will  follow 
thee  whithersoever  thou  goest. 

20  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  The 
foxes  have  holes,  and  the  birds  of  the 
air  have  nests;  but  the  Son  of  man 
hath  not  where  to  lay  his  head. 

21  And  another  of  his  disciples  said 
unto  him.  Lord,  asuffer  me  first  to  go 
and   bury   my   father. 

22  But  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Fol- 
low me;  and  let  the  dead  bury  their 
dead. 

23  And  when  he  was  entered  into 
a  ship,  his  disciples  followed  him. 

24  And,  behold,  there  arose  a  great 
tempest  in  the  sea,  insomuch  that  the 
ship  was  covered  with  the  waves:  but 
he  was  asleep. 

25  And  his  disciples  came  to  him, 
and  awoke  him,  saying.  Lord,  save 
us:    we  perish. 

borne  our  griefs,  and  carried  our  sor- 
rows: yet  we  did  esteem  him  stricken, 
smitten   of   God,   and   afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  wounded  for  our 
transgressions,  he  was  bruised  for  our 
iniquities:  the  chastisement  of  our 
peace  was  upon  him;  and  with  his 
stripes   we   are   healed. 

I.  KINGS  xix:19  aSo  he  departed 
thence,  and  found  Elisha  the  son  of 
Shaphat,  who  was  ploughing  with 
twelve  yoke  of  oxen  before  him,  and 
he  with  the  twelfth:  and  Elijah 
passed  by  him,  and  cast  his  mantle 
upon  him. 

20  And  he  left  the  oxen,  and  ran 
after  Elijah,  and  said.  Let  me,  I  pray 
thee,  kiss  my  father  and  my  mother, 
and  then  I  will  follow  thee.  And  he 
said  unto  him.  Go  back  again:  for 
what  have  I  done  to  thee? 

21  And  he  returned  back  from  him, 
and  took  a  yoke  of  oxen,  and  slew 
them,  and  boiled  their  flesh  with  the 
instruments  of  the  oxen,  and  gave  un- 
to the  people,  and  they  did  eat.  Then 
he  arose,  and  went  after  Elijah,  and 
ministered  unto  him. 


26  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Why 
are  ye  fearful,  O  ye  of  little  faith? 
Then  bhe  arose,  and  rebuked  the 
winds  and  the  sea;  and  there  was  a 
great  calm. 

27  But  the  men  marvelled,  saying, 
what  manner  of  man  is  this,  that  even 
the  winds  and  the  sea  obey  him! 

28  And  when  he  was  come  to  the 
other  side  into  the  country  of  the 
Gergesenes,  there  met  him  two  pos- 
sessed with  devils,  coming  out  of  the 
tombs,  exceeding  fierce,  so  that  no 
man  might  pass  by  that  way. 

29  And,  behold,  they  cried  out,  say- 
ing. What  have  we  to  do  with  thee, 
Jesus,  thou  Son  of  God?  art  thou  come 
hither  to  torment  us  before  the  time? 

30  And  there  was  a  good  way  off 
from  them  a  herd  of  many  cswine 
feeding. 

31  So  the  devils  besought  him,  say- 
ing, if  thou  cast  us  out,  suffer  us  to 
go  away  into  the  herd  of  swine. 

PSALM  cvii:25  bFor  he  command- 
eth,  and  raiseth  the  stormy  wind 
which  lifteth  up  the  waves  thereof. 

26  They  mount  up  to  the  heaven, 
they  go  dov/n  again  to  the  depths: 
their  soul  is  melted  because  of  trou- 
ble. 

27  They  reel  to  and  fro,  and  stag- 
ger like  a  drunken  man,  and  are  at 
their  wit's  end. 

28  Then  they  cry  unto  the  Lord  in 
their  trouble,  and  he  bringeth  them 
out  of  their  distresses. 

29  He  maketh  the  storm  a  calm, 
so  that  the  waves  thereof  are  still. 

PSALM  lxv:7  Which  stilleth  the 
noise  of  the  seas,  the  noise  of  their 
waves,    and  the  tumult  of  the  people.

violently  down  a  steep  place  into  the

and  went  their  ways  into  the  city,  and 
told  everything,  and  what  was  befallen 
to  the  possessed  of  the  devils.

was  destroyed.

him  a  man  sick  of  the  palsy,  lying  on

be  of  good  cheer;  thy  sins  be  forgiven 
thee. 

3  And,  behold,  certain  of  the 
scribes  said  within  themselves.  This 
man  blasphemeth.

3  Thou  compassest  my  path  and 
my  lying  down,  and  art  acquainted 
with  all  my  ways. 

4  For  there  is  not  a  word  In  my 
tongue,  but,  lo,  O  Lord,  thou  knowest 
it  altogether. 

5  Thou  hast  beset  me  behind  and

it.

Spirit?  or  whither  shall  I  flee  from  thy

On  Fasting. 


6  But  that  ye  may  know  that  the 
Son  of  man  hath  power  on  earth  to 
fforgive  sins,  (then  saith  he  to  the  sick 
of  the  palsy,)  Arise,  Take  up  thy  bed, 
and  go  unto  thine  house. 

7     And  he  arose,  and  departed  to  his 
house. 

S  But  when  the  multitude  saw  it, 
they  marvelled,  and  glorified  God, 
which  had  given  such  power  unto  men. 

9  And  as  Jesus  passed  forth  from 
thence,  he  saw  a  man,  named  Mat- 
thew, sitting  at  the  receipt  of  custom: 
and  he  saith  unto  him,  Follow  me. 
And  he  arose,  and  followed  him. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Jesus 
sat  at  meat  in  the  house,  behold,  many 
publicans  and  sinners  came  and  sat 
down  with  him  and  his  disciples.

sinners?

are  both  alike  to  thee. 

DANIEL  ix:9  fTo  the  Lord  our 
God  belong  mercies  and  forgivenesses, 
though  we  have  rebelled  against  him; 

PSALM  xcix:8  Thou  answeredest 
them,  0  Lord  our  God:  thou  wast  a 
God  that  forgavest  them,  though  thou 
tookest  vengeance  of  their  inven- 
tions. 

EXODUS  xxxiv:6  And  the  Lord 
passed  by  before  him,  and  proclaimed, 
The  Lord,  The  Lord  God,  merciful  and 
gracious,  longsuffering,  and  abundant 
in  goodness  and  truth, 

7  Keeping  mercy  for  thousands, 
forgiving  iniquity  and  transgression 
and  sin,  and  that  will  by  no  means 
clear  the  guilty;  visiting  the  iniquity 
of  the  fathers  upon  the  children,  and 
upon  the  children's  children,  unto  the 
third  and  to  the  fourth  generation. 

PROVERBS  xxi:3  gTo  do  justice 
and  judgment  is  more  acceptable  to 
the  Lord  than  sacrifice. 

HOSEA  vi:6  For  I  desired  mercy, 
and  not  sacrifice;  and  the  knowledge 
of  God  more  than  burnt  offerings. 


12  But  when  Jesus  heard  that,  he 
said  unto  them.  They  that  be  whole 
need  not  a  physician,  but  they  that  are 
sick. 

13  But  go  ye  and  learn  what  that 
meaneth,  gl  will  have  mercy,  and  not 
sacrifice:  for  I  am  not  come  to  call  the 
righteous,  but  sinners  to  repentance. 

14  Then  came  to  him  tne  disciples 
of  John,  saying,  hWhy  do  we  and  me 
Pharisees  fast  oft,  but  thy  disciples 
fast  not? 

15  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Can 
the  children  of  the  bridechamber 
mourn,  as  long  as  the  bridegroom  Is 
with  them?  but  the  days  will  come, 
when  the  ibridegroom  shall  be  taken 
from  them,  and  then  shall  they  fast. 

16  No  man  putteth  a  piece  of  new 
cloth  unto  an  old  garment;  for  that 
which  is  put  in  to  fill  it  up  taketh 
from  the  garment,  and  the  rent  is 
made  worse. 

MICAH  vi:6  Wherewith  shall  I 
come  before  the  Lord,  and  bow  my- 
self before  the  high  God?  shall  I  come 
before  him  with  burnt  offerings,  with 
calves  of  a  year  old? 

7  Will  the  Lord  be  pleased  with 
thousands  of  rams,  or  with  ten  thou- 
sands of  rivers  of  oil?  shall  I  give  my 
firstborn  for  my  transgression,  the 
fruit  of  my  body  for  the  sin  of  my 
soul? 

8  He  hath  shewed  thee,  O  man, 
what  is  good;  and  what  doth  the  Lord 
require  of  thee,  but  to  do  justly,  and 
to  love  mercy,  and  to  walk  humbly 
with  thy  God? 

ISAIAH  lviii:3  hWherefore  have 
we  fasted,  say  they,  and  thou  seest 
not?  wherefore  have  we  afflicted  our 
soul,  and  thou  takest  no  knowledge? 
Behold,  in  the  day  of  your  fast  ye  find 
pleasure,  and  exact  all  your  labours. 

4  Behold,  ye  fast  for  strife  and  de- 
bate, and  to  smite  with  the  fist  of 
wickedness:  ye  shall  not  fast  as  ye 
do  this  day,  to  make  your  voice  to 
be  heard  on  high.

into  new  bottles,  and  both  are  pre-

18  While  he  spake  these  things  un-

My  daughter  is  even  now  dead:  but 
come  and  lay  thy  hand  upon  her,  and 
she  shall  live.

him,  and  so  did  his  disciples. 

20  And,  behold,  a  woman,  which 
was  diseased  Avith  an  issue  of  blood 
twelve  years,  came  behind  him,  and 
touched  the  hem  of  his  garment: 

21  For  she  said  within  herself,  If 
I  may  but  touch  his  garment,  I  shall 
be  whole. 

22  But  Jesus  turned  him  about,  and 
when  he  saw  her,  he  said.  Daughter, 
be  of  good  comfort;  thy  faith  hath 
made  thee  whole.  And  the  woman 
was  made  whole  from  that  hour. 

23  And  When  Jesus  came  into  the 
ruler's  house,  and  saw  ithe  minstrels 
and  the  people  making  a  noise, 

24  He  said  unto  them,  Give  place; 
for  the  maid  is  not  dead,  but  sleepeth. 
And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn. 

25  But  when  the  people  were  put 
forth,  he  went  in,  and  took  her  by  the 
hand,  and  the  maid  arose.

and  saying,  Thou  Son  of  David,  have 
mercy  on  us. 

28  And  when  he  was  come  into  the

and  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Believe  ye 
that  I  am  able  to  do  this?  They  said

29  Then  touched  he  their  eyes,  say- 
ing, According  to  your  faith  be  it  unto 
you. 

30  And  Jtheir  eyes  were  opened; 
and  Jesus  straitly  charged  them,  say- 
ing. See  that  no  man  know  it. 

31  But  they,  when  they  were  de- 
parted, spread  abroad  his  fame  in  all 
that   country. 

32  And  as  they  went  out,  behold, 
they  brought  to  him  a  dumb  man  pos-

the  dumb  spake:  and  the  multitudes

in  Israel.

eth  out  devils  through  the  prince  of

37  Then  saith  he  unto  his  disci- 
ples, The  harvest  truly  is  plenteous, 
but  the  labourers  are  few; 

38  Pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord  of 
the  harvest,  that  he  will  send  forth 
labourers  into  his  harvest. 

CHAPTER   X. 

Jesus  empowered  his  ai>o.stles  and  sent  them 
cut  to  preach  his  tfospcl.  1(5  They  were  to  be 
as  sheep  in  the  midst  of  wolves.  -10  To  receive 
those  whom  Christ  sends  forth  is  to  receive 
him. 

1  And  when  he  had  called  unto  him 
his  twelve  disciples,  he  gave  them  pow- 
er against  unclean  spirits,  to  cast  them 
out,  and  to  heal  all  manner  of  sick- 
ness and  all  manner  of  disease. 

2  Now    the    names    of    the    twelve 

gation   of  the   Lord  be  not   as   sheep 
which  have  no  shepherd. 

L  KINGS  xxii:17  And  he  said,  1  saw 
all  Israel  scattered  upon  the  hills,  as 
sheep  that  have  not  a  shepherd:  and 
the  Lord  said.  These  have  no  master: 
let  them  return  every  man  to  his  house 
in  peace. 

EZEKIEL  XXXiV:l  And  the  word 
of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  against  the 
shepherds  of  Israel,  propaesy,  and  say 
unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
unto  the  shepherds;  Woe  be  to  the 
shepherds  of  Israel  that  do  feed  them- 
selves! should  not  the  shepherds  feed 
the  flocks? 

3  Ye  eat  the  fat  and  ye  clothe  you 
with  the  wool,  ye  kill  them  that  are 
fed:    but  ye  feed   not  the  flock. 

4  The  diseased  have  ye  not  strength- 
ened, neither  have  ye  healed  that 
which  was  sick,  neither  have  ye  bound 
up  that  which  was  broken,  neither 
have  ye  brought  again  that  which  was 
driven  away,  neither  have  ye  sought 
that  which  was  lost;  but  with  force 
and  with  cruelty  have  ye  ruled  them. 

5  And  they  were  scattered,  because 
there  is  uo  shepherd:  and  they  became 
meat  to  all  the  beasts  of  the  field,  when 
they  were  scattered. 

6  My  sheep  wandered  through  all 
the  mountains,  and  upon  every  high 
hill:  yea,  my  flock  was  scattered  upon 


apostles  are  these;  The  first,  Simon, 
who  is  called  Peter,  and  Andrew  his 
brother;  James  the  son  of  Zebedee,  and 
John  his   brother; 

3  Philip,  and  Bartholomew; Thomas, 
and  Matthew  the  publican;  James  the 
son  of  Alpheus,  and  Lebbeus,  whose 
surname  was  Thaddeus; 

4  And  Simon  the  Canaanite,  and 
Judas  Iscariot,  who  also  betrayed  him. 

5  These  twelve  Jesus  sent  forth,  and 
commanded  them,  saying.  Go  not  in- 
to the  way  of  the  Gentiles,  and  into 
any  city  of  ithe  Samaritans  enter  ye 
not: 

6  But  go  rather  to  the  mlost  sheep 
of  the  house  of  Israel. 

all  the  face  of  the  earth,  and  none 

did   search   or  seek  after   them. 

7  Therefore,  ye  shepherds,  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord; 

8  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  because  my  flock  became  a  prey, 
and  my  flock  became  meat  to  every 
beast  of  the  field,  because  there  was 
no  shepherd,  neither  did  my  shepherds 
search  for  my  flock,  but  the  shepherds 
fed  themselves,  and  fed  not  my  flock; 

9  Therefore,  O  ye  shepherds,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord; 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Be- 
hold, I  am  against  the  shepherds;  and 
I  will  require  my  flock  at  their  hand, 
and  cause  them  to  cease  from  feeding 
the  flock;  neither  shall  the  shepherds 
feed  themselves  any  more;  for  I  will 
deliver  my  flock  from  their  mouth,  that 
they   may  not  be  meat  for  them. 

ZECHARIAH  x:2  For  the  idols 
have  spoken  vanity,  and  the  diviners 
have  seen  a  lie,  and  have  told  false 
dreams;  they  comfort  in  vain:  there- 
fore they  went  their  way  as  a  flock, 
they  were  troubled,  because  there  was 
no  shepherd. 

II.  KINGS  xvii:24  lAnd  the  king  of 
Assyria  brought  men  from  Babylon, 
and  from  Cuthah,  and  from  Ava,  and 
from  Hamath,  and  from  Sepharvaim, 
and  placed  them  in  the  cities  of  Sa- 
maria instead  of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael: and  they  possessed  Samaria,  and 
dwelt  in  the  cities  thereof.

raise  the  dead,  cast  out  devils:  freely 
ye   have   received,   freely   give.

nor  brass  in  your  purses;

25  And  so  it  was  at  the  beginning  of 
their  dwelling  there,  that  they  feared 
not  the  Lord:  therefore  the  Lord  sent 
lions  among  them,  which  slew  some 
of  them. 

ISAIAH  liii:6  mAll  we  like  sheep 
have  gone  astray;  we  have  turned 
every  one  to  his  own  way;  and  the 
Lord  hath  laid  on  him  the  iniquity  of 
us  all. 

JEREMIAH  1:6  My  people  hath 
been  lost  sheep:  their  shepherds  have 
caused  them  to  go  astray,  they  have 
turned  them  away  on  the  mountains: 
they  have  gone  from  mountain  to  l^ill, 
they  have  forgotten  their  resting  place. 

17  Israel  is  a  scattered  sheep;  the 
lions  have  driven  him  away:  first  the 
king  of  Assyria  hath  devoured  him; 
and  last  this  Nebuchadnezzar  king  of 
Babylon  hath  broken  his  bones. 

EZEKIEL  xxxiv:6  My  sheep  wan- 
dered through  all  the  mountains,  and 
upon  every  high  hill:  yea,  my  flock 
was  scattered  upon  all  the  face  of  the 
earth,  and  none  did  search  or  seek 
after  them. 

7  Therefore,  ye  shepherds,  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord; 

8  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  because  my  flock  became  a  prey, 
and  my  flock  became  meat  to  every 
beast  of  the  fleld,  because  there  was 
no  shepherd,  neither  did  my  shepherds 
search  for  my  flock,  but  the  shepherds 
fed  themselves,  and  fed  not  my  flock; 

9  Therefore,  0  ye  shepherds,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord; 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Be- 
hold, I  am  against  the  snepherds;  and 


is  worthy;   and  there  abide  till  ye  go 
thence. 

12  And  when  ye  come  into  a  house, 
salute  it. 

13  And  if  the  house  be  worthy,  let 
your  peace  come  upon  it:  but  if  it 
be  not  worthy,  let  your  peace  return 
to  you. 

14  And  whosoever  shall  not  receive 
you,  nor  bear  your  words,  when  ye 
depart  out  of  that  house  or  city,  pshake 
off  the  dust  of  your  feet. 

15  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  It  shall 

I  will  require  my  flock  at  their  hand, 
and  cause  them  to  cease  from  feeding 
the  flock;  neither  shall  the  shepherds 
feed  themselves  any  more;  for  I  will 
deliver  my  flock  from  their  mouth, 
that  they  may  not  be  meat  for  them. 
11  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Behold,  I,  even  I,  will  both  search  my 
sheep,  and  seek  them  out. 

16  I  will  seek  that  which  was  lost, 
and  bring  again  that  whicn  was  driven 
away,  and  will  bind  up  mat  which  was 
broken,  and  will  strengthen  that  which 
was  sick:  but  I  will  destroy  the  fat 
and  the  strong;  I  will  feed  them  with 
judgment. 

L  SAMUEL  ix:7  nThen  said  Saul 
to  his  servant,  But,  behold,  if  we  go, 
what  shall  we  bring  the  man?  for  the 
bread  is  spent  in  our  vessels,  and  there 
is  not  a  present  to  bring  to  the  man 
of  God:    what  have  we? 

8  And  the  servant  answered  Saul 
again,  and  said.  Behold,  I  have  here 
at  hand  the  fourth  part  of  a  shekel 
of  silver:  that  will  I  give  to  the  man 
of  God,  to  tell  us  our  way. 

9  (Beforetime  in  Israel,  when  a 
man  went  to  inquire  of  God,  thus  he 
spake.  Come,  and  let  us  go  to  the  seer: 
for  he  that  is  now  called  a  Prophet 
was  beforetime  called  a  Seer.) 

10  Then  said  Saul  to  his  servant, 
Well  said;  come,  let  us  go.  So  they 
went  unto  the  city  where  the  man  of 
God  was.

sheep  in  the  midst  of  wolves:  be  ye 
therefore  wise  as  serpents,  and  harm- 
less as  doves.

gogues; 

18  And  ye  shall  be  brought  before 
governors  and  kings  for  my  sake,  for 
a  testimony  against  them  and  the  Gen-

19  But  when  they  deliver  you  up, 
take  no  thought  how  or  what  ye  shall 
speak:  for  qit  shall  be  given  you  in 
that  same  hour  what  ye  shall  speak.

gone  over  the  cities  of  Israel,  till  the 
Son  of  man  come. 

24  The  disciple  is  not  above  his 
master,  nor  the  servant  above  his  lord. 

25  It  is  enough  for  the  disciple  that 
he  be  as  his  master,  and  the  servant 
as  his  lord.  If  they  have  called  the 
master  of  the  house  Beelzebub,  how 
much  more  shall  they  call  them  of  his

1  Aud  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus 
had  made  an  end  of  commanding  his 
twelve  disciples,  he  departed  thence  to 
teach  and  to  preach  in  their  cities. 

2  Now  when  John  had  heard  in  the 
prison  the  works  of  Christ,  he  sent 
two  of  his  disciples, 

it,  he  called  to  her,  and  said,  Bring  me, 
I  pray  thee,  a  morsel  of  bread  in  thine 
hand. 

12  And  she  said.  As  the  Lord  thy 
God  liveth,  1  have  not  a  cake,  but  a 
handful  of  meal  in  a  barrel,  and  a  lit- 
tle oil  in  a  cruse:  and,  behold,  I  am 
gathering  two  sticks,  that  I  may  go  in 
and  dress  it  for  me  and  my  son,  that 
we  may  eat  it,  and  die. 

13  And  Elijah  said  unto  her,  Fear 
not;  go  and  do  as  thou  hast  said:  but 
make  me  thereof  a  little  cake  first,  and 
bring  it  unto  me,  and  after  make  for 
thee  and  for  thy  son. 

14  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel,  The  barrel  of  meal  shall  not 
waste,  neither  shall  the  cruse  of  oil 
fail,  until  the  day  that  the  Lord  send- 
eth  rain  upon  the  earth. 

15  And  she  went  and  did  according 
to  the  saying  of  Elijah:  and  she,  and 
he,  and  her  house,  did  eat  many  days. 

16  And  the  barrel  of  meal  wasted 
not,  neither  did  the  cruse  of  oil  fail, 
according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
which  he  spake  by  Elijah. 

II.  KINGS  iv:8  And  it  fell  on  a  day, 
that  Elisha  passed  to  Shunem,  where 
was  a  great  woman;  and  she  con- 
strained him  to  eat  bread.  And  so  it 
was.  that  as  oft  as  he  passed  by,  he 
turned  in  thither  to  eat  bread.

4  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Go  and  shew  John  again  those 
things  which  ye  do  hear  and  see: 

5  bThe  blind  receive  their  sight,  and 
the  lame  walk,  the  lepers  are  cleansed, 
and  the  deaf  hear,  the  dead  are  raised 
up,  and  cthe  poor  have  the  gospel 
preached  to  them. 

Shiloh  [Christ]  come;  and  unto  him 
shall  the  gathering  of  the  people  be.

to  make  reconciliation  for  iniquity, 
and  to  bring  in  everlasting  righteous- 
ness, and  to  seal  up  the  vision  and

ISAIAH  xxix:18  bAnd  in  that  day

6  And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever 
shall  not  dbe  offended  in  me. 

7  And  as  they  departed,  Jesus  be- 
gan to  say  unto  the  multitudes  con- 
cerning John,  What  went  ye  out  into 
the  wilderness  to  see?  A  reed  shaken 
with  the  wind? 

8  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see? 
A  man  clothed  in  soft  raiment?  behold, 
they  that  wear  soft  clothing  are  In 
kings"  houses. 

9  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see? 
A  prophet?  yea,  I  say  unto  you,  and 
more   than   a   prophet. 

10  For  this  is  he,  of  whom  it  is  writ- 
ten, eBehold,  I  send  my  messenger  be- 
fore thy  face,  which  shall  prepare  thy 
way  before  thee. 

11  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Among 
them  that  are  born  of  women  there 
hath  not  risen  a  greater  than  John  the 
Baptist:  notwithstanding,  he  that  is 
least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
greater  than  he. 

12  And  from  the  days  of  John  the 
Baptist  until  now  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  suffereth  violence,  and  the  vio- 
lent take  it  by  force. 

13  fFor  all  the  prophets  and  the  law 
prophesied  until  John. 

Lord  that  seek  him:   your  heart  shall 
live  forever. 

ISAIAH  LXI:1  The  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  God  is  upon  me;  because  the 
Lord  hath  anointed  me  to  preach  good 
tidings  unto  the  meek;  he  hath  sent 
me  to  bind  up  the  brokenhearted,  to 
proclaim  liberty  to  the  captives,  and 
the  opening  of  the  prison  to  them  that 
are  bound: 

ISAIAH  viii:14  dAnd  he  shall  be 
for  a  sanctuary;  but  for  a  stone  of 
stumbling  and  for  a  rock  of  offence  to 
both  the  houses  of  Israel,  for  a  gin 
and  for  a  snare  to  the  inhabitants  of 
Jerusalem. 

15  And  many  among  them  shall 
stumble,  and  fall,  and  be  broken,  and 
'be   snared,    and  be   taken.

15  He  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let 
him  hear. 

16  But  whereunto  shall  I  liken  this 
generation?  It  is  like  unto  children 
sitting  in  the  markets,  and  calling  un- 
to their  fellows, 

17  And  saying.  We  have  piped  unto 
you,  and  ye  have  not  danced;  we  have 
mourned  unto  you,  and  ye  have  not  la- 
mented. 

18  For  John  came  neither  eating 
nor  drinking,  and  they  say.  He  hath  a 
devil. 

19  The  Son  of  man  came  eating  and 
drinking,  and  they  say.  Behold  a  man 
gluttonous,  and  a  winebibber,  a  friend 
of  publicans  and  sinners. "  But  wis- 
dom is  justified  of  her  children. 

20  Then  began  he  to  upbraid  the  cit- 
ies wherein  most  of  his  mighty  works 
were  done,  because  they  repented  not: 

21  Woe  unto  thee,  Chorazin!  woe 
unto  thee,  Bethsaida!  for  if  the  mighty 
works,  which  were  done  in  you,  had 
been  done  in  Tyre  and  Sidon,  they 
would  have  repented  long  ago  hin  sack- 
cloth and  ashes. 

22  But  I  say  unto  you.  It  shall  be

and  he  shall  prepare  the  way  before 
me:  and  the  Lord,  whom  ye  seek,  shall

and  smite  the  earth  with  a  curse.

the  day  of  judgment,  than  for  you. 

23  And  thou,  Capernaum,  iwhich  art 
exalted  unto  heaven,  shalt  be  brought 
down  to  hell:  for  if  the  mighty  works, 
which  have  been  done  in  thee,  had 
been  done  in  Sodom,  it  would  have 
remained   until   this   day. 

24  But  I  say  unto  you.  That  it  shall 
be  more  tolerable  for  the  land  of  Sod- 
om in  the  day  of  judgment,  than  for 
thee. 

25  At  that  time  Jesus  answered  and 
said,  I  thank  thee,  0  Father.  Lord  of 
heaven  and  earth,  because  jthou  hast 
hid  these  things  from  the  wise  and 
prudent,  and  hast  revealed  them  unto 
babes. 

26  Even  so,  Father;  for  so  it  seemed 
good  in  thy  sight. 

'27     All  things  are  delivered  unto  me 

7  And  he  caused  it  to  be  proclaimed 
and  published  through  Nineveh  by  the 
decree  of  the  king  and  his  nobles,  say- 
ing, Let  neither  man  nor  beast,  herd 
nor  flock,  taste  any  thing:  let  them 
not  feed,  nor  drink  water: 

8  But  let  man  and  beast  be  cov- 
ered with  sackcloth,  and  cry  mightily 
unto  God:  yea,  let  them  turn  every 
one  from  his  evil  way,  and  from  the 
violence  that  is  in  their  hands. 

9  Who  can  tell  if  God  will  turn  and 
repent,  and  turn  away  from  his  fierce 
anger,  that  we  perish  not? 

10  And  God  saw  their  works,  that 
they  turned  from  their  evil  way;  and 
God  repented  of  the  evil,  that  he  had 
said  that  he  would  do  unto  them;  and 
he  did  it  not.

they  said  unto  him,  Behold,  thy  dis-

of  the  Sabbath  Day. 


8  For  the  Son  of  man  is  Lord  even 
of  the  sabbath  day. 

9  And  when  he  was  departed 
thence,  he  went  into  their  synagogue: 

10  And,  behold,  there  was  a  man 
which  had  his  hand  withered.  And 
they  asked  him,  saying.  Is  it  lawful  to 
heal  on  the  sabbath  days?  that  they 
might  accuse  him. 

11  And  he  said  unto  them.  What 
man  shall  there  be  among  you,  that 
shall  have  one  sheep,  and  cif  it  fall  in- 
to a  pit  on  the  sabbath  day,  will  he 
not  lay  hold  on  it,  and  lift  it  out? 

12  How  much  then  is  a  man  better 
than  a  sheep?  Wherefore  it  is  lawful 
to  do  well  on  the  sabbath  days. 

13  Then  saith  he  to  the  man. 
Stretch  forth  thine  hand.  And  he 
stretched  it  forth;  and  it  was  restored 
whole,  lilve  as  the  other. 

14  Then  the  Pharisees  went  out, 
and  held  a  council  against  him,  how 
they  might  destroy  him. 

15  But  when  Jesus  knew  it,  he  with- 
drew himself  from  thence:  and  great 
multitudes  followed  him,  and  he  heal- 
ed them  all; 

16  And  charged  them  that  they 
should  not  make  him  known: 

self  before  the  high  God?  shall  I  come 
before  him  with  burnt  offerings,  with 
calves  of  a  year  old? 

7  Will  the  Lord  be  pleased  with 
thousands  of  rams,  or  with  ten  thou- 
sands of  rivers  of  oil?  shall  I  give  my 
firstborn  for  my  transgression,  the 
fruit  of  my  body  for  the  sin  of  my 
soul? 

8  He  hath  shewed  thee,  O  man, 
what  is  good;  and  what  doth  the  Lord 
require  of  thee,  but  to  do  justly,  and 
to  love  mercy,  and  to  walk  humbly 
Avith  thy  God? 

EXODUS  xxiii:4  clf  thou  meet 
thine  enemy's  ox  or  his  ass  going 
astray,  thou  shalt  surely  bring  it  back 
to  him  again. 

5  If  thou  see  .the  ass  of  him  that 
hateth  thee  lying  under  his  burden, 
and  wouldest  forbear  to  help  him, 
thou  Shalt  surely  help  with  him. 


17  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  by  Isaiah  the  prophet, 
saying, 

18  dBehold  my  servant,  whom  I 
have  chosen;  my  beloved,  in  whom  my 
soul  is  well  pleased:  I  will  put  my 
Spirit  upon  him,  and  he  shall  shew 
judgment  to  the  Gentiles. 

19  He  shall  not  strive,  nor  cry; 
neither  shall  any  man  hear  his  voice 
in  the  streets. 

20  A  bruised  reed  shall  he  not 
break,  and  smoking  flax  shall  he  not 
quench,  till  he  send  forth  judgment 
unto  victory. 

21  And  in  his  name  shall  the  Gen- 
tiles trust. 

22  Then  was  brought  unto  him  one 
possessed  with  a  devil,  blind,  and 
dumb:  and  he  healed  him,  insomuch 
that  the  blind  and  dumb  both  spake 
and  saw. 

23  And  all  the  people  were 
amazed,  and  said,  Is  not  this  the  Son 
of  David? 

24  But  when  the  Pharisees  heard 
it,  they  said,  This  fellow  doth  not  cast 
out  devils,  but  by  Beelzebub  the  prince 
of  the  devils. 

25  And  Jesus  knew  their  thoughts, 

DEUTERONOMY  xxii:4  Thou  shalt 
not  see  thy  brother's  ass  or  his 
ox  fall  down  by  the  way,  and  hide 
thyself  from  them:  thou  shalt  surely 
help  him  to  lift  them  up  again. 

ISAIAH  XLII:1  dBehold  my  serv- 
ant, [Jesus]  whom  I  upholdeth;  mine 
elect,  in  whom  my  soul  delighteth;  I 
have  put  my  Spirit  upon  him:  he  shall 
bring  forth  judgment  to  the  Gentiles. 

2  He  shall  not  cry.  nor  lift  up,  nor 
cause  his  voice  to  be  heard  in  the 
street. 

3  A  bruised  reed  shall  he  not 
break,  and  the  smoking  flax  shall  he

and  said  unto  them,  Every  kingdom 
divided  against  itself  is  brought  to 
desolation;  and  every  city  or  house 
divided  against  itself  shall  not  stand: 

26  And  if  Satan  cast  out  Satan,  he 
is  divided  against  himself;  how  shall 
then  his  kingdom  stand? 

27  And  if  I  by  Beelzebub  cast  out 
devils,  by  whom  do  your  children  cast 
them  out?  therefore  they  shall  be 
your  judges. 

28  But  if  I  cast  out  devils  by  the 
Spirit  of  God,  then  ethe  Ivingdom  of 
God  is  come  unto  you. 

29  fOr  else,  how  can  one  enter  into 
a  strong  man's  house,  and  spoil  his 
goods,  except  he  first  bind  the  strong 
man?  and  then  he  will  spoil  his  house. 

30  He  that  is  not  with  me  is 
against  me;  and  he  that  gathereth  not

31  Wherefore  I  say  unto  you.  All 
manner  of  sin  and  blasphemy  shall  be 
forgiven  unto  men:  but  the  blasphemy 
against  the  Holy  Ghost  shall  not  be 
forgiven  unto  men. 

32  And  whosoever  speaketh  a  word 
against  the  Son  of  man,  it  shall  be 
forgiven  him:  but  whosoever  speaketh 
against  the  Holy  Ghost,  it  shall  not  be

35  A  good  man  out  of  the  gooa 
treasure  of  the  heart  bringeth  forth 
good  things:  and  the  evil  man  out  of 
the  evil  treasure  bringeth  forth  evil 
things. 

36  But  I  say  unto  you.  That  every 
idle  word  that  men  shall  speak,  they 
shall  give  account  thereof  in  the  day 
of  judgment. 

37  For  by  thy  words  thou  shalt  be 
justified,  and  by  thy  words  thou  shalt 
be  condemned. 

38  Then  certain  of  the  scribes  and 
of  the  Pharisees  answered,  saying.

shall  no  sign  be  given  to  it,  but  the 
sign  of  the  prophet  Jonah:

3  And  he  spake  many  things  unto 
them  in  parables,  saying,  Behold,  a 
sower  went  forth  to  sow; 

4  And  when  he  sowed,  some  seeds 
fell  by  the  wayside,  and  the  fowls 
came  and  devoured  them  up: 

•  5  Some  fell  upon  stony  places, 
where  they  had  not  much  earth:  and 
forthwith  they  sprung  up,  because 
they  had  no  deepness  of  earth: 

6  And  when  the  sun  was  up,  they 
were  scorched;  and  because  mey  had 
no  root,  they  withered  away. 

7  And  some  fell  among  thorns;  and 
the  thorns  sprung  up,  and  choked 
them: 

8  But  other  fell  into  good  ground, 
and  brought  forth  fruit,  ssome  an  hun- 
dredfold, some  sixtyfold,  some  thirty- 
fold. 

9  Who  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him 
hear. 

10  And  the  disciples  came,  and  said 
unto  him.  Why  speakest  thou  unto 
them  in   parables? 

11  He  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Because  it  is  given  unto  you  to 
know  the  mysteries  of  the  kingdom  of 
heaven,  but  to  them  it  is  not  given. 

12  For  whosoever  hath,  to  him 
shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have  more 
abundance:  *but  whosoever  hath  not, 
from  him  shall  be  taken  away  even 
that  he  hath. 

Satan  answered  the  Lord,  and  said, 
From  going  to  and  fro  in  the  earth, 
and  from  walking  up  and  down  in  it. 

GENESIS  xxvi:12  gThen  Isaac 
sowed  in  that  land,  and  received  in 
the  same  year  a  hundredfold:  and  the 
Lord  blessed  him. 

ISAIAH  vi:9  hAnd  he  said,  [to  Isa- 
iah] Go,  and  tell  this  people.  Hear  ye 
indeed,  but  understand  not;  and  see 
ye   indeed,   but   perceive   not. 

10  Make  the  heart  of  this  people 
fat,  and  make  their  ears  heavy,  and 
shut    their    eyes;    lest    they    see    with 

*A11  persons  have  the  offer  of  salvation,  but 
this  will  be  taken  from  those  who  do  not  accept 
it. 


13  Therefore  speak  I  to  them  in 
parables:  because  they  seeing  see  not; 
and  hearing  they  hear  not,  neither  do 
they  understand. 

14  And  in  them  is  fulfilled  the 
prophecy  of  Isaiah,  which  saith,  hby 
hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and  shall  not 
understand;  and  seeing  ye  shall  see, 
and  shall  not  perceive: 

15  For  this  people's  heart  is  waxed 
gross,  and  their  ears  are  dull  of  hear- 
ing, and  their  eyes  they  have  closed; 
lest  at  any  time  they  should  see  with 
their  eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears, 
and  should  understand  with  their 
heart,  and  should  be  converted,  and 
I   should   heal   them. 

16  But  blessed  are  your  eyes,  for 
they  see:  and  your  ears,  for  they  hear. 

17  For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  that 
many  prophets  and  righteous  men 
have  desired  to  see  those  things  which 
ye  see,  and  have  not  seen  them;  and 
to  hear  those  things  which  ye  hear, 
and  have  not  heard  them. 

18  Hear  ye  therefore  the  parable  of 
the  sower. 

19  When  any  one  heareth  the  word 
of  the  kingdom,  and  understandeth  it 
not,  then  cometh  the  wicked  one,  and 
catcheth  away  that  which  was  sown 
in  his  heart.  This  is  he  which  re- 
ceived seed  by  the  wayside. 

their  eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears, 
and  understand  with  tneir  heart,  and 
convert,    and    be    healed. 

11  Then  said  I,  Lord,  how  long? 
And  he  answered.  Until  the  cities  be 
wasted  without  inhabitant,  and  the 
houses  without  men,  and  the  land  be 
utterly  desolate, 

12  And  the  Lord  have  removed  men 
far  away,  and  there  be  a  great  forsak- 
ing in  the  midst  of  the  land. 

13  But  yet  in  it  shall  be  a  tenth, 
and  it  shall  return,  and  shall  be  eat- 
en: as  a  teil  tree,  and  as  an  oak,  whose 
substance  is  in  them,  when  they  cast 
their  leaves:  so  the  holy  seed  shall  be 
the    substance   thereof.

20  But  he  that  received  the  seed 
into  stony  places  the  same  is  he  that 
heareth  the  word,  and  anon  iwitli  joy 
receiveth  it; 

21  Yet  hath  he  not  root  in  himself, 
but  dureth  for  a  while:  for  when  trib- 
ulation or  persecution  ariseth  because 
of  the  word,  by  and  by  he  is  offended. 

22  He  also  that  received  seed 
Jamong  the  thorns  is  he  that  heareth 
the  word;  and  the  care  of  this  world, 
and  the  deceitfulness  of  riches,  choke 
the  word,  and  he  becometh  unfruitful. 

23  But  he  that  received  seed  into 
the  good  ground  is  he  that  heareth  the 
"word,  and  understandeth  it;  which  al- 
so beareth  fruit,  and  bringeth  forth, 
some  an  hundredfold,  some  sixty, 
some  thirty. 

24  Another  parable  put  he  forth 
unto  them,  saying,  The  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  likened  unto  a  man  which 
sowed  good   seed  in  his  field: 

25  But  while  men  slept,  his  enemy 

EZEKIEL  Xn:l  The  word  of  the 
Lord  also  came  unto  me  [Ezekiel]  say- 
ing, 

2  Son  of  man,  thou  dwellest  in  the 
midst  of  a  rebellious  house,  which 
have  eyes  to  see,  and  see  not;  they 
have  ears  to  hear,  and  boar  not:  for 
they   are   a   rebellious   house. 

3  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man,  pre- 
pare thee  stuff  for  removing,  and  re- 
move by  day  in  their  sight;  and  thou 
shall  remove  from  thy  place  to  an- 
other place  in  their  sight:  it  may  be 
they  will  consider,  thougii  they  be  a 
rebellious  house. 

4  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth  thy 
stuff  by  day  in  their  sight,  as  stuff  for 
removing:  and  thou  shalt  go  forth  at 
even  in  their  sight,  as  they  that  go 
forth   into  captivity. 

ISAIAH  lviii:2  iLThe  house  of  Ja- 
cob] seek  me  daily,  and  delight  to 
know  my  ways,  as  a  nation  that  did 
righteousness,  and  forsook  not  the  or- 
dinance of  their  God:  they  ask  of  me 
the  ordinances  of  justice;  they  take 
delight  in  approaching  to  God. 

EZEKIEL    xxxiii:31     [Thy    people] 


came  and  sowed  tares  among  the 
wheat,  and  went  his  way. 

2(J  But  when  the  blade  was  sprung 
up,  and  brought  forth  fruit,  then  ap- 
peared the  tares  also. 

27  So  the  servants  of  the  house- 
holder came  and  said  unto  him.  Sir, 
didst  not  thou  sow  good  seed  in  thy 
field?  from  whence  then  hath  it  tares? 

28  He  said  unto  them.  An  enemy 
hath  done  this.  The  servants  said 
unto  him.  Wilt  thou  then  that  we  go 
and  gather  them   up? 

29  But  he  said.  Nay;  lest  while  ye 
gather  up  the  tares,  ye  root  up  also 
the  wheat  with  them. 

30  Let  both  grow  together  until  the 
harvest:  and  in  the  time  of  harvest 
I  will  say  to  the  reapers.  Gather  ye 
together  first  the  tares,  and  bind  them 
in  bundles  to  burn  them:  but  gather 
the    wheat    into    my    barn. 

31  Another  parable  put  he  forth  un- 
to them,  saying,     kThe     kingdom     of 

come  unto  thee  [Ezekiel]  as  the  peo- 
ple Cometh,  and  they  sit  before  thee 
as  my  people,  and  they  hear  thy 
words,  but  they  will  not  do  them:  for 
with  their  mouth  they  shew  much  love, 
but  their  heart  goeth  after  their  cov- 
etousness. 

32  And,  lo,  thou  art  unto  them  as 
a  very  lovely  song  of  one  that  hath  a 
pleasant  voice,  and  can  play  well  on 
an  instrument:  for  they  hear  thy 
words   but  they  do   them   not. 

JEREMIAH  iv:3  JFor  thus  saith  the 
Lord  to  the  men  of  Judan  and  Jerusa- 
lem, Break  up  your  fallow  ground,  and 
sow   not  among  thorns. 

4  Circumcise  yourselves  to  the 
Lord,  and  take  away  the  foreskins  of 
your  heart,  ye  men  of  Judah  and  in- 
habitants of  Jerusalem;  lest  my  fury 
come  forth  like  fire,  and  burn  that 
none  can  quench  it,  because  of  the  evil 
of  your  doings.

heaven  is  like  to  a  grain  of  mustard 
seed,  which  a  man  took,  and  sowed  in 
his  field: 

32  Which  indeed  is  the  least  of  all 
seeds:  but  when  it  is  grown,  it  is  the 
greatest  among  herbs,  and  becometh 
a  tree,  so  that  the  birds  of  the  air 
come  and  lodge  in  the  branches  there- 
of. 

33  Another  parable  spake  he  unto 
them;  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like 
unto  leaven,  which  a  woman  took,  and 
hid  in  three  measures  of  meal,  till  the 
whole  was  leavened. 

34  All  these  things  spake  Jesus  un- 
to the  multitude  in  parables;  and 
without  a  parable  spake  he  not  unto 
them: 

35  That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which 
was  spoken  by  the  prophet,  saying,  il 
will  open  my  mouth  in  parables;  I 
will  utter  things  which  have  been  kept 
secret  from  the  foundation  of  the 
world. 

36  Then  Jesus  sent  the  multitude 
away,  and  went  into  the  house:    and 

Lord's  house  shall  be  established  In 
the  top  of  the  mountains,  and  shall 
be  exalted  above  the  hills;  and  all 
nations  shall   flow  unto  it. 

3  And  many  people  shall  go  and 
say.  Come  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to  the 
mountain  of  the  Lord,  to  the  house 
of  the  God  of  Jacob;  and  he  will  teach 
us  of  his  ways,  and  we  will  walk  in  his 
paths:  for  out  of  Zion  shall  go  forth 
the  law,  and  the  word  of  the  Lord  from 
Jerusalem.

37  He  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
mHe  that  soweth  the  good  seed  is  the 
Son  of   man; 

38  The  field  is  the  world;  the  good 
seed  are  the  children  of  the  kingdom; 
but  the  tares  are  nthe  children  of  the 
wicked  one; 

39  The  enemy  that  sowed  them  is 
the  devil;  othe  harvest  is  the  end  of 
the  world;  and  the  reapers  are  the  an- 
gels. 

40  As  therefore  the  tares  are  gath- 
ered and  burned  in  the  fire;  so  shall  it 
be  in  the  end  of  this  world. 

41  The  Son  of  man  shall  send  forth 
his  angels,  and  they  shall  gather  out 
of  his  kingdom  all  things  that  offend, 
and  them  which  do  iniquity; 

42  And  shall  cast  them  into  a  fur- 
nace of  fire:  there  shall  be  wailing 
and  gnashing  of  teeth.

ISAIAH  LXI:1  mThe  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  God  is  upon  me  [Christ];  because 
the  Lord  hath  anointed  me  to  preach 
good  tidings  unto  the  meek;  he  hath 
sent  me  to  bind  up  the  brokenhearted, 
to  proclaim  liberty  to  the  captives,  and 
the  opening  of  the  prison  to  them  that 
are  bound; 

GENESIS  iii:14  nAnd  the  Lord  God 
said  unto  the  serpent,  Because  thou 
hast  done  this,  thou  art  cursed  above 
all  cattle,  and  above  every  beast  of 
the  field;  upon  thy  belly  shalt  thou 
go,  and  dust  shalt  thou  eat  all  the 
days  of  thy  life: 

15  And  I  will  put  enmity  between 
thee  and  the  woman,  and  between  thy 
seed  and  her  seed:  it  shall  bruise  thy 
head,  and  thou  shalt  bruise  his  heel.

unto  a  man  that  is  a  householder, 
which  bringeth  forth  out  of  his  trea- 
sure sthings  new  and  old. 

53  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
Jesus  had  finished  these  parables,  he 
departed  thence. 

54  And  when  he  was  come  into  his 
own  country,  he  taught  them  in  their 
synagogues,  insomuch  that  they  were 
astonished,  and  said,  Whence  hath  this 
man  this  wisdom,  and  these  mighty 
works  ? 

55  tis  not  this  the  carpenter's  son? 
is  not  his  mother  called  Mary?  and 
his  brethren,  James,  and  Joses,  and 
Simon,  and  Judas? 

56  And  his  sisters,  are  they  not  all 
with  us?  Whence  then  hath  this  man 
all    these    things? 

57  And  they  were  offended  in  him. 
But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  A  prophet 
is  not  without  honour,  save  in  his  own 
country,  and  in  his  own  house. 

58  And  he  did  not  many  mighty 
works  there  because  of  their  unbelief.

men  fed.  22  Jesus  walked  on  the  sea.  34  The 
sick  were  healed  by  touehinj?  the  hem  of  the 
garment  of  Jesus. 

1  At  that  time  Herod  the  tetrarch 
heard  of  the  fame  of  Jesus, 

2  And  said  unto  his  servants,* 
This  is  ,Tohn  the  Baptist;   he  is  risen 


from  the  dead;  and  therefore  mighty 
works  do  shew  forth  themselves  in 
him. 

3  For  Herod  had  laid  hold  on  John, 
and  bound  him,  and  put  him  in  prison 
for  Herodias'  sake,  his  brother  Phil- 
ip's wife. 

4  For  John  said  unto  him,  ult  is 
not  lawful  for  thee  to  have  her. 

5  And  when  he  would  have  put  him 
to  death,  he  feared  the  multitude,  be- 
cause they  counted  him  as  a  prophet. 

6  But  when  Herod's  vbirthday  was 
kept,  the  daughter  of  Herodias  danced 
before  them,  and  pleased  Herod. 

7  Whereupon  he  promised  with  an 
oath  to  give  her  whatsoever  she  would 
ask. 

8  And  she,  being  before  instructed 
of  her  mother,  said.  Give  me  here 
John  Baptist's  head  in  a  charger. 

9  And  the  king  was  sorry:  never- 
theless for  the  oath's  saKe,  and  them 
which  sat  with  him  at  meat,  he  com- 
manded  it  to  be  given  her. 

10  And  he  sent,  and  beheaded  John 
in  the  prison. 

11  And  his  head  was  brought  in  a 
charger,  and  given  to  the  damsel:  and 
she  brought  it  to  her  mother.

up  the  body,  and  buried  it,  and  went 
and  told   Jesus.

13  When  Jesus  heard  of  it,  he 
departed  thence  by  ship  into  a  desert 
place  apart:  and  when  the  people 
heard  thereof,  they  followed  him  on 
foot  out  of  the  cities. 

14  And  Jesus  went  forth,  and  saw 
a  Kreat  multitude,  and  was  moved  with 
compassion  toward  them,  and  he 
healed  their  sick. 

15  And  when  it  was  evening,  his 
disciples  came  to  him,  saying,  aThis 
is  a  desert  place,  and  the  time  is  now 
past;  send  the  multitude  away,  that 
thsy  may  go  into  the  villages,  and  buy 
themselves  victuals. 

16  But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  bThey 
need  not  depart;  give  ye  them  to  eat. 

17  And  they  say  unto  him.  We  have 
here  but  five  loaves,  and  two  fishes.

tude to  sit  down  on  the  grass,  and 
took  the  five  loaves,  and  the  two 
fishes,  and  looking  up  to  heaven,  he 
blessed,  and  brakp,  tand  gave  the 
loaves  to  his  disciples,  and  the  dis-

by  the  flesh  pots,  and  when  we  did  eat 
bread  to  the  full;  for  ye  have  brought 
us  forth  into  this  wilderness,  to  kill 
this  whole  assembly  witli   hunger.

Behold,  I  will  rain  bread  from  heaven 
for  you;  and  the  people  shall  go  out 
and  gather  a  certain  rate  every  day,

ments that  remained  twelve  baskets 
liill. 

21  And  they  that  had  eaten  were 
al)out  five  thousand  men,  beside  wo- 
men and  children. 

22  And  straightway  Jesus  con- 
strained his  disciples  to  get  into  a  ship, 
and  to  go  before  him  unto  the  other 
side,  while  he  sent  the  multitudes 
away. 

23  And  when  he  had  sent  the  mul- 
titudes away,  he  went  up  into  a  moun- 
tain apart  to  pray;  and  when  the  even- 
ing was  come,  he  was  there  alone. 

24  But  the  ship  was  now  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea,  tossed  with  waves: 
for  the  wind  was  contrary. 

25  And  in  the  fourth  watch  of  the 
night  Jesus  went  unto  them,  walking 
on  the  sea. 

26  And  when  tlie  disciples 
saw  him  ewalking  on  the  sea, 
they  were  troubled,  saying.  It  is  a 
spirit;  and  they  cried  out  for  fear. 

27  But  straightway  Jesus  spake 
unto  them,  saying.  Be  of  good  cheer; 
it  is  I;  be  not  afraid.

Clirist  reproved  the  scribes  and  Pharisees 
for  disregarding  God's  law  by  their  traditions.

doth  not  dettle  him.  21  He  healed  the  daughter 
of  a  woman  of  Canaan.  32  He  fed  four  thousand. 

1  Then  came  to  Jesus  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  which  were  of  Jerusalem, 
saying, 

2  Why  do  thy  disciples  transgress 
the  tradition  of  the  elders?  for  they 
wash  not  their  hands  when  they  eat 
bread. 

3  But  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Why  do  ye  also  transgress  the 
commandment  of  God  by  your  tradi- 
tion? 

4  For  God  commanded,  saying, 
hHonour  thy  father  and  mother:  and. 
He  that  curseth  father  or  mother,  let 
him  die  the  death. 

5  But  ye  say.  Whosoever  shall  say 
to  his  father  or  his  mother.  It  is  a 
gift,  by  whatsoever  thou  mightest  be 
profited  by  me; 

6  And  honour  not  his  father  or  his 
mother,  he  shall  be  free.  Thus  have 
ye  made  the  commandment  of  God  of 
none  effect  by  your  tradition.

9  But  in  vain  they  do  worship  me, 
teaching  for  doctrines  the  command- 
ments of  men. 

10  And  he  called  the  multitude, 
and  said  unto  them,  Hear,  and  under- 
stand: 

11  Not  that  which  goeth  into  the 
mouth  defileth  a  man;  but  that  which 
Cometh  out  of  the  mouth,  this  defil- 
eth a  man. 

12  Then  came  his  disciples,  and 
said  unto  him,  Knowest  thou  that  the 
Pharisees  were  offended,  after  they 
heard  this  saying? 

13  But  he  answered  and  said, 
Every  plant,  which  my  heavenly  Fath- 
er hath  not  planted,  shall  be  rooted 
up. 

14  Let  them  alone:  Jthey  be  blind 
leaders  of  the  blind.  And  if  the  blind 
lead  the  blind,  both  shall  fall  into  the 
ditch. 

15  Then   answered   Peter  and   said 

heart    goeth    after  their  covetousuess. 

ISAIAH  ix:16  JFor  the  leaders  of 
this  people  [the  Israelites]  cause  them 
to  err;  and  they  that  are  led  of  them 
are  destroyed. 

MALACHI  ii:8  But  ye  [priests] 
are  departed  out  of  the  way:  ye  have 
caused  many  to  stumble  at  the  law;  ye 
have  cornipted  the  covenant  of  Levi, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

9  Therefore  have  I  also  made  you 
contemptible  and  base  before  all  the 
people,  according  as  ye  have  not  kept 
my  ways,  but  have  been  partial  in  the 
law. 

GENESIS  vi:5  And  God  saw  that 
the  wickedness  of  man  was  great  in 
the  earth,  and  that  every  imau;ination 
of  the  thoughts  of  his  heart  was  only 
evil  continually. 

GENESIS  viii:21  And  the  Lord 
smelled  a  sweet  savour;  and  the  Lord 
said  in  his  heart.  I  will  not  again 
curse  the  ground  any  more  for  man's 
sake;  for  the  imagination  of  man's 
heart    is  evil    from  his  youth:   neither 


unto    him.  Declare  unto  us  this  para- 
ble. 

IG  And  Jesus  said.  Are  ye  also  yet 
without  understanding? 

17  Do  not  ye  yet  understand,  that 
whatsoever  entereth  in  at  the  mouih 
goeth  into  the  belly,  and  is  cast  out 
into  the  draught? 

18  But  those  things  which  proceed 
out  of  the  mouth  come  forth  kfrom 
the  heart;  and  they  defile  the  man. 

19  iFor  out  of  the  heart  proceed 
evil  thoughts,  murders,  adulteries,  fi.r- 
nications,  thefts,  false  witness,  blas- 
phemies: 

20  These  are  the  things  which  de- 
file a  man:  but  to  eat  with  unwashen 
hands  defileth  not  a  man. 

21  Then  Jesus  went  thence,  and 
departed  into  the  coasts  of  Tyre  and 
Sidon. 

22  And,  behold,  a  woman  of  Can- 
aan came  out  of  the  same  coasts,  and 
cried  unto  him,  saying.  Have  mercy 
on  me,  0  Lord,  thou  mSon  of  David; 
my  daughter  is  grievously  vexed  with 
a  devil. 

will    I    again    smite    any    more    every 
thing  living,  as  I  have  done. 

PROVERBS  vi:12  A  naughty  per- 
son, a  wicked  man,  walketh  with  a 
froward  mouth. 

13  He  winketh  with  his  eyes,  he 
speaketh  with  his  feet,  lie  teacheth 
with  his  fingers; 

14  Frowardness  is  in  his  heart,  he 
deviseth  mischief  continually;  he 
soweth  discord. 

JEREMIAH  xvii:9  iThe  heart  is 
deceitful  above  all  things,  and  desper- 
ately wicked:    who  can  know  it? 

10  I  the  Lord  search  the  hea:t,  I 
try  the  reins,  even  to  give  every  man 
according  to  his  ways,  and  according 
to  the  fruit  of  his  doings. 

PSALM  lxxxix:3  nil  have  made  a 
covenant  with  my  chosen.  [Christ]  I 
have    sworn    unto    David  my  servant, 

4  Thy  Reed  will  I  establish  for  ever, 
and  build  up  thy  throne  to  all  genera- 
tions. 

35  Once  have  I  sworn  by  my  holi- 
ness   that  I  would  not  lie  unto  David.

Jesus  Healed  the  Daughter 


ST.  MATTHEW  XV. 


of  a  Canaanitish  Woman. 


23  But  he  answered  her  not  a  word. 
And  his  disciples  came  and  besought 
him,  saying,  Send  her  away;  for  she 
crieth  after  us. 

24  But  he  answered  and  said,  I  am 
not  sent  but  unto  the  clost  sheep  of 
the  house  of  Israel. 

25  Then  came  she  and  worshipped 
him,  saying.  Lord,  help  me. 

26  But  he  answered  and  said.  It  is 
not  meet  to  take  the  children's  bread, 
and  to  cast  it  to  dogs. 

27  And  she  said,  Truth,  Lord:  yet 
the  dogs  eat  of  the  crumbs  which  fall 
from  their  masters'  table. 

28  Then  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  her,  0  woman,  great  is  thy  faith: 
be  it  unto  thee  even  as  thou  wilt. 
And  her  daughter  was  made  whole 
from  that  very  hour. 

29  And  Jesus  departed  from  thence, 
and  came  nigh  unto  the  sea  of  Galilee; 
and  went  up  into  a  mountain,  and  sat 
down  there. 

30  dAnd  great  multitudes  came  un- 
to him,  having  with  them  those  that 
were  lame,  blind,  dumb,  maimed,  and 

36  His  seed  shall  endure  for  ever, 
and    his  throne  as  the  sun  before  me. 

37  It  shall  be  established  for  ever 
as  the  moon,  and  as  a  faithful  witness 
in  heaven. 

ISAIAH  liii:6  cAll  we  like  sheep 
have  gone  astray;  we  have  turned 
every  one  to  his  own  way;  and  the 
Lord  hath  laid  on  him  the  iniquity  of 
us  all. 

ISAIAH  xxxv:5  dThen  the  eyes  of 
the  blind  shall  be  opened,  and  the 
ears  of  the  deaf  shall  be  unstopped. 

6  Then  shall  the  lame  man  leap  as 
a  hart,  and  the  tongue  of  the  dumb 
sing:  for  in  the  wilderness  shall  wa- 
ters break  out,  and  streams  in  the 
desert. 

PSALM  ciii:13  eLike  as  a  father 
pitieth  his  children,  so  the  Lord  piti- 
eth  them  that  fear  him. 

NUMBERS  xi:21  fAnd  Moses  said, 
The  people,  among  whom  I  am,  are 
six    hundred    thousand    footmen;    and 


many    others,    and  cast  them  down  at 
Jesus'  feet;   and  he  healed  them: 

31  Insomuch  that  the  multitude 
wondered,  when  they  saw  the  dumb 
to  speak,  the  maimed  to  be  whole,  the 
lame  to  walk,  and  the  blind  to  see: 
and    they    glorified    the  God  of  Israel. 

32  Then  Jesus  called  his  disciples 
unto  him,  and  said,  el  have  compassion 
on  the  multitude,  because  they  con- 
tinue with  me  now  three  days,  and 
have  nothing  to  eat:  and  I  will  not 
send  them  away  fasting,  lest  they 
faint  in  the  way. 

33  fAnd  his  disciples  say  unto  him. 
Whence  should  we  have  so  much 
bread  in  the  wilderness,  as  to  fill  so 
great  a  multitude? 

34  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
How  many  loaves  have  ye?  And  they 
said.  Seven,  and  a  few  little  fishes. 

35  And  he  commanded  the  multi- 
tude to  sit  down  on  the  ground. 

36  And  he  took  the  seven  loaves 
and  the  fishes,  and  ggave  thanks,  and 
brake  them,  and  gave  to  his  disciples, 
and  the  disciples  to  the  multitude. 

thou  hast  said,  I  will  give  them  flesh, 
that  they  may  eat  a  whole  month. 

22  Shall  the  flocks  and  the  herds 
be  slain  for  them,  to  suffice  them?  or 
shall  all  the  fish  of  the  sea  be  gathered 
together  for  them,  to  suffice  them? 

II.  KINGS  iv:43  And  his  servitor 
said.  What,  should  I  set  this  before  a 
hundred  men?  He  said  again.  Give 
the  people,  that  they  may  eat:  for  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  They  shall  eat,  and 
shall  leave  thereof. 

44  So  he  set  it  before  them,  and 
they  did  eat,  and  left  thereof,  accord-

37  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were 
filled:  and  they  took  up  of  the  broken 
meat  that  was  left  seven  baskets  full. 

38  And  they  that  did  eat  were  four 
thousand  men,  beside  women  and 
children. 

39  And  he  .sent  away  the  multitude, 
and  took  ship,  and  came  into  the 
coasts  of  Magdala. 

CHAPTER  XVI. 

The  Pharisees  require  a  sijin.  6  Jesus  ■warned 
his  disfiules  of  the  influence  of  the  Pharisees 
and  Sadduc'iM's.  13  Peter's  confession  of  Christ. 
21  Jesus  predicts  his  passion.  24  His  followers 
must  bear  his  cross. 

1  The  Pharisees  also  with  the  Sad- 
ducees  canie,  and  tempting  desired  him 
that  he  would  shew  them  a  sign  from 
heaven. 

2  He  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
When  it  is  evening,  ye  say.  It  will  be 
fair  weather:  for  the  sky  is  red. 

3  Arid  in  the  morning.  It  will  be 
foul  weather  to  day:  for  the  sky  is  red 
and  lowering.  O  ye  hypocrites,  ye 
can  discern  the  face  of  the  sky;  but 
can  ye  not  discern  the  hsigns  of  the 
times? 

4  A  wicked  and  adulterous  genera- 
tion seeketh.  after  a  sign;  and  there 
shall  no  sign  be  given  unto  it,  but  the 
sign  of  the  prophet  Jonah.  And  he 
left  them,  and  departed. 

5  And  when  his  disciples  were 
come  to  the  other  side,  they  had  for- 
gotten to  take  bread. 

6  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Take 
heed  and  beware  of  the  leaven  of  the 
Pharisees  and  of  the  Sadducees.

7  And  they  reasoned  among  them- 
selves, saying,  It  is  because  we  have 
taken  no  bread. 

8  Which  when  Jesus  perceived,  he 
said  unto  them,  O  ye  of  little  faith, 
why  reason  ye  among  yourselves,  be- 
cause ye  have  brought  no  bread? 

9  Do  ye  not  yet  understand,  neith- 
er remember  the  five  loaves  of  the  five 
thousand,  and  how  many  baskets  ye 
took  up? 

10  Neither  the  seven  loaves  of  the 
four  thousand,  and  how  many  baskets 
ye  took  up? 

11  How  is  it  that  ye  do  not  under- 
stand that  I  spake  it  not  to  you  con- 
cerning Dread,  that  ye  should  beware 
of  the  leaven  of  the  Pharisees  and  of 
the  Sadducees? 

12  Then  understood  they  how  that 
he  bade  them  not  beware  of  the  leav- 
en of  bread,  but  of  the  doctrine  of  the 
Pharisees  and  of  the  Sadducees. 

13  When  Jesus  came  into  the 
coasts  of  Caesarea  Philippi,  he  asked 
his  disciples,  saying.  Whom  do  men 
say  that  I,  the  Son  of  man,  am? 

14  And  they  said.  Some  say  that 
thou  art  Uohn  the  Baptist;  some,  Eli- 
jah; and  others,  Jeremiah,  or  one  of 
the  prophets. 

15  He  saith  unto  them,  But  whom 
say  ye  that  I  am? 

16  And  Simon  Peter  answered  and 
said,  Thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of 
the  living  God. 

17  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto    him.    Blessed    art    thou,    Simon 

send  my  messenger,  [John  the  Bap- 
tist] and  he  shall  prepare  the  way  be- 
fore me:  and  the  Lord,  [Christ]  whom 
ye  seek,  shall  suddenly  come  to  his 
temple,  even  the  messenger  of  the 
covenant,  w'hom  ye  delight  in:  behold, 
he  shall  come,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.

23  But  he  turned,  and  said  unto

the  Elijah. 


7  And  Jesus  came  and  qtouched 
them,  and  said,  Arise,  and  be  not 
afraid. 

8  And  when  they  had  lilted  up 
their  eyes,  they  saw  no  man,  save 
Jesus  only. 

9  And  as  they  came  down  from  the 
mountain,  Jesus  charged  them,  say- 
ing, Tell  the  vision  to  no  man,  until 
the  Son  of  man  be  risen  again  from 
the  dead. 

10  And  his  disciples  asked  him, 
saying,  rWhy  then  say  the  scribes  that 
Elijah  must  first  come? 

11  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  Elijah  truly  shall  first 
come,  and  srestore  all  things. 

12  But  I  say  unto  you,  that  Elijah 
is  come  already,  and  they  knew  him 
not,  but  have  done  unto  him  whatso- 
ever they  listed.  Likewise  shall  also 
the  Son  of  man  suffer  of  them. 

13  Then  the  disciples  understood 
that  he  spake  unto  them  of  John  the 
Baptist. 

DANIEL  viii:18  qNow  as  he  was 
speaking  with  me  [Daniel],  I  was  in 
a  deep  sleep  on  my  face  toward  the 
ground:  but  he  touched  me,  and  set 
me    upright. 

19  And  he  said,  Behold,  I  will 
make  thee  know  what  shall  be  in  the 
last  end  of  the  indignation:  for  at  the 
time  appointed  the  end  shall  be. 

DANIEL  ix:21  Yea,  while  I  [Dan- 
iel] was  speaking  in  prayer,  even  the 
man  Gabriel,  whom  I  had  seen  in  the 
vision  at  the  beginning,  being  caused 
to  fly  swiftly,  touched  me  about  the 
time  of  the  evening  oblation. 

22  And  he  informed  me,  and  talked 
with  me,  and  said,  O  Daniel,  I  am  now 
come  forth  to  give  thee  skill  and  un- 
derstanding. 

DANIEL  x:10  And,  behold,  a  hand 
touched  me  [Daniel],  which  set  me  up- 
on my  knees  and  upon  the  palms  of 
my  hands. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  0  Daniel, 
a  man  greatly  beloved,  understand  the 
words  that    I    speak    unto    thee,    and 


14  And  when  they  were  come  to 
the  multitude,  there  came  to  him  a 
certain  man,  kneeling  down  to  him, 
and  saying, 

15  Lord,  have  mercy  on  my  son; 
for  he  is  lunatic,  and  sore  vexed:  for 
ofttimes  he  falleth  into  the  fire,  and 
oft  into  the  water. 

16  And  I  brought  him  to  thy  disci- 
ples, and  they  could  not  cure  him. 

17  Then  Jesus  answered  and  said, 
O  faithless  and  perverse  generation, 
how  long  shall  I  be  with  you?  how 
long  shall  I  suffer  you?  bring  him 
hither  to  me. 

18  And  Jesus  rebuked  the  devil; 
and  he  departed  out  of  him:  and  the 
child  was  cured  from  that  very  hour. 

19  Then  came  the  disciples  to  Jesus 
apart,  and  said,  Why  could  not  we 
cast  him  out? 

20  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Be- 
cause of  your  unbelief:  for  verily  I  say 
unto  you,  *If  ye  have  faith  as  a  grain 
of  mustard  seed,  ye  shall  say  unto  this 

stand  upright:  for  unto  thee  am  I  now 
sent.  And  when  he  had  spoken  this 
word  unto  me,  I  stood  trembling. 

12  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Fear  not, 
Daniel:  for  from  the  first  day  that 
thou  didst  set  thine  heart  to  under- 
stand, and  to  chasten  thyself  before 
thy  God,  thy  words  were  heard,  and  I 
am  come  for  thy  words. 

18  Then  there  came  again  and 
touched  me  one  like  the  appearance  of 
a  man,   and   he   strengthened   me, 

19  And  said,  0  man  greatly  be- 
loved, fear  not:  peace  be  unto  thee; 
be  strong,  yea,  be  strong.  And  when 
he     had     spoken     unto     me,     I     was 


*  Faith  is  to  believe  that  God  will  do  just 
what  he  has  promised  to  do,  We  migrht  ask 
God  to  do  many  things  which  he  does  not  pro- 
pose to  do.  In  such  cases  we  have  no  ground 
upon  which  to  rest  our  faith.  If  God  would  do 
everything  that  we  ask  him  to  do,  then  we 
would  be  the  sovereigns,  and  God  would  be  our 
servant.  But  there  are  many  things  which  God 
has  promised  to  do  on  specified  conditions ;  and 
among  those  conditions,  we  are  required  to  ask 
and  believe  for  them,  and  we  shall  have  them. 
The  veracity  of  God  we  must  not  doubt.

not  your  master  pay  tribute?

was  come  into  the  house,  Jesus  pre- 
vented him,  saying,  What  thinkest 
thou,  Simon?  of  whom  do  the  kings  of 
the  earth  take  custom  or  tribute?  of 
their  own  children,  or  of  strangers? 

26  Peter  saith  unto  him,  Of  strang- 
ers. Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Then  are 
the  children  free.

offend  them,  go  thou  to  the  sea,  and 
cast  a  hook,  and  take  up  the  fish  that

a  Except  ye  be  converted,  and  become 
as  little  children,  ye  shall  not  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  heaven.

same  is  greatest  in  the  kingdom  of

little  child  in  my  name  receiveth  me. 

6  But  whoso  shall  offend  one  of 
these  little  ones  which  believe  in  me,, 
it  were  better  for  him  that  a  millstone 
were  hanged  about  his  neck,  and  that 
he  were  drowned  in  the  depth  of  the

7  Woe  unto  the  world  because  of 
offences!  for  it  must  needs  be  that  of- 
fences come;  but  woe  to  tha-t  man  by 
■whom   the   offence  cometh! 

8  Wherefore  if  thy  hand  or  thy  foot 
offend  thee,  cut  them  off,  and  cast  them 
from  thee:  it  is  better  for  thee  to  en- 
ter into  life  halt  or  maimed,  rather 
than  having  two  hands  or  two  feet

Forgave  Offenders. 


11  For  the  Son  of  man  is  come  to 
save  that  which  was  lost. 

12  How  think  ye?  if  a  man  have  a 
hundred  sheep,  and  one  of  them  be 
gone  astray,  doth  he  not  leave  the 
ninety  and  nine,  and  goeth  into  the 
mountains,  and  seeketh  that  which  is 
gone  astray? 

13  And  if  so  be  that  he  find  it,  ver- 
ily I  say  unto  you,  he  rejoiceth  more 
of  that  sheep,  than  of  the  ninety  and 
nine  which  went  not  astray. 

14  Even  so  it  is  not  the  will  of  your 
Father  which  is  in  heaven,  that  one 
of  these  little  ones  should  perish. 

15  Moreover  cif  thy  brother  shall 
trespass  against  thee,  go  and  tell  him 
his  fault  between  thee  and  him  alone: 
if  he  shall  hear  thee,  thou  hast  gained 
thy  brother. 

16  But  if  he  will  not  hear  thee,  then 
take  with  thee  one  or  two  more,  that 
in  dthe  mouth  of  two  or  three  witness- 
es  every   word   may  be  established. 

17  And  if  he  shall  neglect  to  hear 
them,  tell  it  unto  the  church:  but  if 
he  neglect  to  hear  the  church,  let  him 
be  unto  thee  as  a  heathen  man  and  a 
publican. 

18  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Whatso- 
ever ye  shall  bind  on  earth  shall  be 
bound  in  heaven;  and  whatsoever  ye 
shall  loose  on  earth  shall  be  loosed  in 
heaven.

touching  any  thing  that  they  shall  ask,

ther which   is  in  heaven. 

20  For  where  two  or  three  are  gath- 
ered together  in  my  name,  there  am 
I  in  the  midst  of  them. 

21  Then  came  Peter  to  him,  and 
said.  Lord,  how  oft  shall  my  brother 
sin  against  me,  and  I  forgive  him? 
till  seven  times?

made.

have  patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay 
thee  all.

which  owed  liim  a  hundred  pence:  and 
he  laid  hands  on  him,  and  took  him 
by  the  throat,  saying.  Pay  me  that

31  So  when  his  fellow  servants  saw 
what  was  done,  they  were  very  sorry, 
and  came  and  told  unto  their  lord  all

should  pay  all  that  was  due  unto  him.

16  And,  behold,  one  came  and  said 
unto  him.  Good  Master,  what  good 
thing  shall  I  do,  that  I  may  have 
eternal  life? 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  Why  call- 
est  thou  me  good?  ithere  is  none  good 
but  one,  that  is,  God:  but  if  thou  wilt 
enter  into  life,  keep  the  command- 
ments. 

18  He  saith  unto  him.  Which?  Je- 
sus said,  mThou  shalt  do  no  murder, 
nThou  shalt  not  commit  adultery, 
oThou  Shalt  not  steal,  pThou  shalt  not 
bear  false  witness,

neighbour  as   thyself. 

20  The  young  man  saith  unto  him» 
All  these  things  have  I  kept  from  my 
youth  up:   what  lack  I  yet? 

21  Jesus  said  unto  him.  If  thou  wilt, 
be  perfect,  go  and  sell  that  thou  hast, 
and  give  to  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt 
have  treasure  in  heaven:  and  come  and 
follow  me. 

22  But  when  the  young  man  heard 
that  saying,  he  went  away  sorrowful: 
for  he  had  great  possessions. 

23  Then  said  Jesus  unto  his  dis- 
ciples. Verily  I  say  unto  you,  That  a 
rich  man  shall  hardly  enter  into  the. 
kingdom  of  heaven.

25  When  his  disciples  heard  it,  they 
were  exceedingly  amazed,  saying,  Who 
then  can  be  saved? 

26  But  Jesus  beheld  them,  and  said 
unto  them,  sWith  men  this  is  impos- 
sible; but  with  God  all  things  are  pos- 
sible.

quested that  her  sons  should  occupy  positions 
of  honor.    30  Jesus  ijave  sight  to  two  blind  men. 

1  For  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like 
unto  a  man  that  is  a  householder, 
which  went  out  early  in  the  morning 
to   hire  labourers   into   his  uvineyard. 

2  And  when  he  had  agreed  with  the 
labourers  for  a  penny  a  day,  he  sent 
them  into  his  vineyard. 

3  And  he  went  out  about  the  third 
hour,  and  saw  others  standing  idle  in 
the  marketplace, 

4  And  said  unto  them;  Go  ye  also 
into  vthe  vineyard,  and  whatsoever  is 
right  I  will  give  you.  And  they  went 
their  way. 

5  Again  he  went  out  about  the  sixth 
and    ninth    hour,    and    did    likewise. 

6  And  about  the  eleventh  hour  he 
went  out,  and  found  others  standing 
idle,  and  saith  unto  them.  Why  stand 
ye  here  all  the  day  idle? 

DEUTERONOMY  xxxiii:9  t[The 
holy  priest]  said  unto  his  father  and 
to  his  mother,  I  have  not  seen  him;

thy  covenant.

the  Labourers. 


7  They  say  unto  him,  Because  no 
man  hath  hired  us.  He  saith  unto 
them.  Go  ye  also  into  the  vineyard; 
and  whatsoever  is  right,  that  shall  ye 
receive. 

8  So  when  even  was  come,  the  lord 
of  the  vineyard  saith  unto  his  stew- 
ard, Call  the  labourers,  and  give  them 
their  hire,  beginning  from  the  last 
unto  the  first. 

9  And  when  they  came  that  were 
hired  about  the  eleventh  hour,  tthey 
received  every  man  a  penny. 

10  But  when  the  first  came,  they 
supposed  that  they  should  have  re- 
ceived more,  and  they  likewise  re- 
ceived every  man  a  penny. 

11  And  when  they  had  received  it, 
they  murmured  against  the  goodman 
of  the  house, 

12  Saying,  These  last  have  wrought 
but  one  hour,  and  thou  hast  made  the:ii 
equal  to  us,  which  have  borne  the  bur- 
den and  heat  of  the  day. 

13  But  he  answered  one  of  them, 
and  said.  Friend,  I  do  thee  no  wrong: 
didst  not  thou  agree  with  me  for  a 
penny? 

14  Take  that  thine  is,  and  go  thy 
way:  I  will  give  unto  this  last,  even 
as  unto  thee. 

15  uis  it  not  lawful  for  me  to  do 
what  I  will  with  mine  own?  vis  thine 
eye  evil,  because  I  am  good? 

16  So  tthe  last  shall  be  first,  and 
the  first  last:  for  many  be  called,  but 
few  chosen. 

DEUTERONOMY  xv:9  uBeware

the  year  of  release,  is  at  hand;  and 
thine  eye  be  evil  against  thy  poor 
brother,  and  thou  givest  him  nought; 


+  Christ  in  this  passage  taught  that  those  who 
serve  him  at  the  hist  hour  will  be  received  into 
heaven  with  those  who  have  given  him  many 
years  of  service.  But  in  other  passages  we  are 
informed  that  the  rewards  will  be  according  to 
the  deeds  done. 


17  And  Jesus  going  up  to  Jerusalem 
took  the  twelve  disciples  apart  in  the 
way,  and  said  unto  them, 

18  Behold,  we  go  up  to  Jerusalem; 
and  the  Son  of  man  shall  be  betrayed 
unto  the  chief  priests  and  unto  the 
scribes,  and  they  shall  condemn  him 
to  death, 

19  And  shall  deliver  him  to  the  Gen- 
tiles to  mock,  and  to  scourge,  and  to 
crucify  him:  and  the  third  day  he 
shall  rise  again. 

20  Then  came  to  him  the  mother  of 
Zebedee's  children  with  her  sons,  wor- 
shipping him,  and  desiring  a  certain 
thing  of  him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  her.  What  wilt 
thou?  She  saith  unto  him.  Grant  that 
these  my  two  sons  may  sit,  the  one 
on  thy  right  hand,  and  the  other  on 
the  left,   in   thy   kingdom. 

22  But  Jesus  answered  and  said. 
Ye  know  not  what  ye  ask.  Are  ye 
able  to  drink  of  the  cup  that  I  shall 
drink  of,  and  to  be  baptized  with  the 
baptism  that  I  am  baptized  with?  They 
say  unto  him,  We  are  able. 

23  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Ye  shall 
drink  indeed  of  my  cup,  and  be  bap- 
tized with  the  baptism  that  I  am  bap- 
tized with:  but  to  sit  on  my  right 
hand,  and  on  my  left,  is  not  mine  to 
give,  but  it  shall  be  given  to  them  for 
whom  it  is  prepared  of  my  Father. 

24  And  when  the  ten  heard  it,  they 
were  moved  with  indignation  against

Ransom  for  Muny. 


ST.   MATTHEW  XXI. 


Jesus  Rode  into  Jerusalem. 


25  But  Jesus  called  them  unto  him, 
and  said.  Ye  know  that  the  princes  of 
the  Gentiles  exercise  dominion  over 
them,  and  they  that  are  great  exer- 
cise authority  upon  them. 

26  But  it  shall  not  be  so  among 
you:  but  whosoever  will  be  great 
among  you,  let  him  be  your  minister; 

27  And  whosoever  will  be  chief 
among  you,  let  him  be  your  servant: 

28  Even  as  the  Son  of  man  came 
not  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to  min- 
ister, and  ^to  give  his  life  a  ransom 
for  many. 

29  And  as  they  departed  from  Jeri- 
cho, a  great  multitude  followed  him. 

30  And,  behold,  two  blind  men  sit- 
ting by  the  way  side,  when  they  heard 
that  Jesus  passed  by,  cried  out,  say- 
ing, have  mercy  on  us,  O  Lord,  thou 
*Son  of  David. 

31  And  the  multitude  rebuked 
them,  because  they  should  hold  their 
peace:  but  they  cried  the  more,  say- 
ing, Have  mercy  on  us,  O  Lord,  thou 
Son  of  David. 

ISAIAH  liii:10  wY'^et  it  pleased  the 
Lord  to  bruise  him  [Jesus] ;  he  hath 
put  him  to  grief;  when  thou  shalt 
make  his  soul  an  offering  for  sin,  he 
shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall  prolong  his 
days,  and  the  pleasure  of  the  Lord 
shall  prosper  in  his  hand. 

11  He  shall  see  the  travail  of  his 
soul,  and  shall  be  satisfied:  by  his 
knowledge  shall  my  righteous  servant 
justify  many;  for  he  shall  bear  their 
iniquities. 

DANIEL  ix:24  Seventy  weeks  are 
determined  upon  thy  people  [the 
Jews]  and  upon  thy  holy  city  [Jeru- 
salem] to  finish  the  transgression,  and 
to  make  an  end  of  sins,  ai^d  to  make 
reconciliation  for  iniquity,  and  to  bring 
in  everlasting  righteousness,  and  to 
seal  up  the  vision  and  prophecy,  and 
to  anoint  the  Most  Holy. 

25     Know  therefore  and  understand. 


*  It  was  generally  known  that  Jesus  was  a  de- 
scendant of  David.  The  devils  knew  this,  and 
his  enemies  never  denied  it.  This  entitles  him 
to  the  throne  of  David. 


32  And  Jesus  stood  still,  and  called 
them,  and  said.  What  will  ye  that  I 
shall  do  unto  you? 

33  They  say  unto  him,  Lord,  that 
our  eyes  may  be  opened. 

34  So  Jesus  had  compassion  on 
them,  and  touched  their  eyes:  and  im- 
mediately their  eyes  received  sight,  and 
they  followed  him. 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

Christ  rode  into  Jerusalem  upon  an  ass.  12 
He  drove  the  traders  out  of  the  temple.  17  He 
cursed  a  fruitless  lit?  tree.  23  He  silenced  the 
priests.  28  Parable  of  two  sons.  33  Parable  of 
the  vineyard. 

1  And  when  they  drew  nigh  unto 
Jerusalem,  and  were  come  to  Bethpage, 
unto  the  amount  of  Olives,  then  sent 
Jesus  two  disciples, 

2  Saying  unto  them.  Go  into  the 
village  over  against  you,  and  straight- 
way ye  shall  find  an  ass  tied,  and  a 
colt  with  her:  loose  them,  and  bring 
them  unto  me. 

3  And  if  any  man  say  aught  unto 
you,  ye  shall  say,  bThe  Lord  hath  need 
of  them;  and  straightway  he  will  send 
them.

and  two  weeks:  the  street  shall  be 
built  again,  and  the  wall,  even  in

ilee.

of  God,  and  cast  out  all  them  that  sold 
and  bought  in  the  temple,  and  over- 
threw the  tables  of  the  hmoney  chang-

unto  them,  Yea;  have  ye  never  read, 
mOut  of  the  mouth  of  babes  and  suck- 
lings thou  hast  perfected  praise? 

17  And  he  left  them,  and  went  out 
of  the  city  into  Bethany;  and  he  lodged 
there. 

18  Now  in  the  morning,  as  he  re- 
turned into  the  city,  he  hungered. 

19  And  when  he  saw  a  fig  tree  in 
the  way,  he  came  to  it,  and  found  noth- 
ing thereon,  but  leaves  only,  and  said 
unto  it.  Let  no  fruit  grow  on  thee 
henceforward  for  ever.  And  presently 
the   fig  tree  withered  away. 

20  And  when  the  disciples  saw  it, 
they  marvelled,  saying.  How  soon  is 
the  fig  tree  withered  away! 

21  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  If  ye  have 
faith,  and  doubt  not,  ye  shall  not  only 
do  this  which  is  done  to  the  fig 
tree,  but  also  if  ye  shall  say  unto  this 
mountain.  Be  thou  removed,  and  be 
thou  cast  into  the  sea;  it  shall  be  done. 

22  And  all  things,  whatsoever  ye 
shall  ask  in  prayer,  believing,  ye  shall 
receive. 

23  And  when  he  was  come  into  the 
temple,  the  chief  priests  and  the  elders 
of  the  people  came  unto  him  as  he 
was  teaching,  and  said,  nBy  what  au- 
thority dost  thou  these  things?  and 
who  gave  thee  this  authority? 

24  And   oJesus   answered   and   said 

ISAIAH  XXXV :  5  k['When  Jesus 
comes]  the  eyes  of  the  blind  shall  be 
opened,  and  the  ears  of  the  deaf  shall 
be  unstopped. 

6  Then  shall  the  lame  man  leap  as 
a  hart,  and  the  tongue  of  the  dumb 
sing:  for  in  the  wilderness  shall  wa- 
ters break  out,  and  streams  in  the  des- 
ert. 

ISAIAH  XI  :1  lAnd  there  shall 
come  forth  a  rod  [Jesus]  out  of  the 
stem  of  Jesse,  and  a  Branch  shall  grow 
out  of  his  roots: 

2  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  shall 
rest  upon  him,  the  spirit  of  wisdom 
and  understanding,  the  spirit  of  coun- 


nnto  them,  I  also  will  ask  you  one 
thing,  which  if  ye  tell  me,  I  in  like 
wise  will  tell  you  by  what  authority  I 
do  these  things. 

25  The  baptism  of  John,  whence  was 
it?  from  heaven,  or  of  men?  And  they 
reasoned  with  themselves,  saying,  It 
we  shall  say.  From  heaven;  he  will 
say  unto  us.  Why  did  ye  not  then  be- 
lieve him? 

26  But  if  we  shall  say,  Of  men;  we 
fear  the  people;  for  all  hold  John  as 
a  prophet. 

27  And  they  answered  Jesus,  and 
said,  We  cannot  tell.  And  he  said  un- 
to them.  Neither  tell  I  you  by  what  au- 
thority I  do  these  things. 

28  But  what  think  ye?  A  certain 
man  had  two  sons;  and  he  came  to  the 
first,  and  said,  Son,  go  work  to  day  in 
my  vineyard. 

29  And  he  answered  and  said,  I  will 
not;  but  afterward  he  repented,  and 
went. 

30  And  he  came  to  the  second,  and 
said  likewise.  And  he  answered  and 
said,  I  go,  sir;   and  went  not. 

31  Whether  of  them  twain  did  the 
will  of  his  father?  They  say  unto 
him.  The  first.  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you.  That  the  pub- 
ilcans  and  the  harlots  go  into  the  king- 
dom of  God  before  you. 

32  For  John  came  unto  you  in  the 
way  of  righteousness,  and  ye  believed 

sel  and  might,  the  spirit  of  knowledge 
and  of  the  fear  of  the  Lord: 

PSALM  viii:2  mOut  of  the  mouth  of 
babes  and  sucklings  hast  thou  ordained 
strength  because  of  thine  enemies,  that 
thou  mightest  still  the  enemy  and  the 
avenger. 

EXODUS  ii:14  nAnd  he  said,  Who 
made  thee  a  prince  and  a  judge  over 
us?  intendest  thou  to  kill  me,  as  thou 
killedst  the  Egyptian?  And  Moses 
feared,  and  said,  Surely  this  thing  is 
known. 

JOB  v:13  oHe  taketh  the  wise  in

him  not;  but  the  publicans  and  the 
harlots  believed  him:  and  ye,  when  ye 
had  seen  it,  repented  not  afterward, 
that  ye  might  believe  him. 

33  Hear  another  parable:  There 
was  a  certain  householder,  pwhich 
planted  a  vineyard,  and  hedged  ft  round 
about,  and  digged  a  winepress  in  it, 
and  built  a  tower,  and  let  it  out  to  hus- 
bandmen, and  went  into  a  far  country: 

34  And  when  the  time  of  the  fruit 
drew  near,  he  sent  his  servants  to  the 
husbandmen,  qthat  they  might  receive 
the  fruits  of  it. 

35  I'And  the  husbandmen  took  his 
servants,  and  beat  one,  and  killed  an- 
other, and  stoned  another. 

36  Again,  he  sent  other  servants 
more  than  the  first:  and  they  did  unto 
them  likewise. 

37  But  last  of  all  he  sent  unto  them 
his  son,  saying.  They  will  reverence 
my  son. 

38  But  when  the  husbandmen   saw 

PSALM  XXX :  8  pThou  hast  brought  a 
vine  out  of  Egypt:  thou  hast  cast  out 
the    heathen,    and    planted    it. 

9  Thou  preparedst  room  before  it, 
and  didst  cause  it  to  take  deep  root, 
and  it  filled  the  land. 

ISAIAH  v:l  Now  will  I  sing  to  my 
well  beloved  a  song  of  my  beloved 
touching  his  vineyard.  My  well  be- 
loved hath  a  vineyard  in  a  very  fruit- 
ful hill: 

JEREMIAH  ii:21  Yet  I  had  planted 
thee  a  noble  vine,  wholly  a  right  seed: 
how  then  art  thou  turned  into  the  de- 
generate plant  of  a  strange  vine  unto 
me? 

SOLOMON'S  SONG  viii:ll  qSolo- 
mon  had  a  vineyard  at  Baal-hamon; 
he  let  out  the  vineyard  unto  keepers; 
every  one  for  the  fruit  thereof  was  to 
bring  a  thousand  pieces  of  silver. 

12  My  vineyard,  which  is  mine,  is 
before  me:  thou,  O  Solomon,  must 
have  a  thousand,  and  those  that  keep 
the  fruit  thereof  two  hundred. 

II.  CHRONICLES  xxiv:21  rAnd 
they  conspired  against  him,  and  stoned 
him  with  stones  at  the  commandment 


the  son,  they  said  among  themselves, 
sThis  is  the  heir;  tcome,  let  us  kill  him, 
and  let  us  seize  on  his  inheritance. 

39  And  they  caught  him,  and  cast 
him  out  of  the  vineyard,  and  slew  him. 

40  When  the  lord  therefore  of  the 
vineyard  cometh,  what  will  he  do  unto 
those  husbandmen? 

41  They  say  unto  him.  He  will  mis- 
erably destroy  those  wicked  men,  and 
will  let  out  his  vineyard  unto  other 
husbandmen,  which  shall  render  him 
the   fruits   in   their   seasons. 

42  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  uDid  ye, 
never  read  in  the  Scriptures,  The  stonej 
which  the  builders  rejected,  the  samel 
is  become  the  head  of  the  corner:  this  j 
is  the  Lord's  doing,  and  it  is  marvel- 
lous in  our  eyes? 

43  Therefore  say  I  unto  you.  The 
kingdom  of  God  shall  be  taken  from 
you,  and  given  to  a  nation  bringing 
forth    the   fruits    thereof.

arose  against  his  people,  till  there  was 
no  remedy.

I)erceived  that  he  spake  of  them.

Jesus  asked  the  Pharisees,  whose  son  is  Christ? 

1  And  Jesus  answered  and  spake 
unto  them  again  by  parables,  and  said, 

2  xThe  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like 
unto  a  certain  king,  whicn  made  a  mar- 
riage for  his  son, 

3  And  sent  forth  his  servants  to 
call  them  that  were  bidden  to  the  wed- 
ding: and  they  would  not  come. 

4  Again,  he  sent  forth  other  serv- 
ants, saying,  Tell  them  which  are  bid- 
den. Behold,  I  have  prepared  my  din- 

the  builders  refused  is  become  the  head 
stone  of  the  corner. 

23  This  is  the  Ix)rd's  doing;  it  is 
marvellous  in  our  eyes. 

ISAIAH  xxviii:16  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  lay  in 
Zion  for  a  foundation  a  stone,  a  tried 
stone,  a  precious  corner  stone,  a  sure 
foundation:  he  that  believeth  shall  not 
make  haste. 

ISAIAH  viii:14  v[The  Lord]  shall 
be  for  a  sanctuary;  but  for  a  stone  of 
stumbling  and  for  a  rock  of  offence 
to  both  the  houses  of  Israel,  for  a  gin 
and  for  a  snare  to  the  inhabitants  of 
Jerusalem. 

15  And  many  among  them  shall 
stumble,  and  fall,  and  be  broken,  and 
be  snared,  and  be  taken. 

ISAIAH  lx:12  wFor  the  nation  and 
kingdom  that  will  not  serve  thee  shall 
perish:  yea.  those  nations  shall  be  ut- 
terly wasted. 

ZECHARIAH  xii:3  And  in  that 
day  will  I  make  Jerusalem  a  burden- 


ner:  >my  oxen  and  my  fallings  ara 
killed,  and  all  things  are  ready:  come 
unto  the  marriage. 

5  But  they  made  zljght  of  it,  and 
went  their  ways,  one  to  his  farm,  an- 
other to  his  merchandise: 

6  And  the  remnant  took  his  serv- 
ants, and  entreated  them  spitefully 
and  slew  them. 

5  But  they  zmade  light  of  it,  and 
he  was  wroth:  and  he  sent  forth  ahis 
armies,  and  destroyed  those  murderers, 
and  burned  up  their  city. 

8  Then  he  saith  to  his  servants,  The 
wedding  is  ready,  but  they  which  were 
bidden  were  not  worthy. 

9  Go  ye  therefore  into  the  high- 
ways, and  as  many  as  ye  shall  find, 
bid  to  the  marriage. 

10  So  those  servants  went  out  into 
the  highways,  and  gathered  together 
all  as  many  as  they  found,  both  bad 
and  good:  and  the  wedding  was  fur- 
nished with  guests. 

11  And  when     the  king  came  in  to 

some  stone  for  all  people:  all  that 
burden  themselves  with  it  shall  be  cut 
in  pieces,  though  all  the  people  of  the 
earth  be  gathered  together  against  it. 

DANIEL  ii:44  xAnd  in  the  days  of 
these  kings  shall  the  God  of  heaven 
set  up  a  kingdom,  which  shall  never 
be  destroyed:  and  the  kingdom  shall 
not  be  left  to  other  people,  but  it  shall 
break  in  pieces  and  consume  all  these 
kingdoms,  and  it  shall  stand  forever. 

PROVERBS  IX  :1  yWisdom  hath

2  She  hath  killed  her  beasts;  she 
hath  mingled  her  wine;  she  hath  also 
furnished    her    table. 

PSALM  lxxxi:ll  zBut  my  people 
would  not  hearken  to  my  voice;  and 
Israel   would  none  of  me.

see  the  guests,    he     saw    there  a  man 
which  had  not  on  a  wedding  garment: 

12  And  he  saith  unto  him,  Fi'iend, 
how  earnest  thou  in  hither  not  hav- 
ing a  wedding  garment?  And  he  was 
speechless. 

13  Then  said  the  king  to  the  serv- 
ants, bind  him  hand  and  foot,  and  take 
him  away,  and  cast  him  into  outer 
darlvness;  there  shall  be  weeping  and 
gnashing  of  teeth. 

14  For  many  are  called,  but  few  are 
chosen. 

15  Then  went  the  Pharisees,  and 
took  counsel  how  they  might  entangle 
him  in  his  talk. 

16  And  they  sent  out  unto  him  their 
disciples  with  the  Herodians,  saying. 
Master,  we  know  that  thou  art  true, 
and  teachest  the  way  of  God  in  truth, 
neither  carest  thou  for  any  man:  for 
thou  regardest  not  the  person  of  men. 

17  Tell  us  therefore.  What  thinkest 
thou?  Is  it  lawful  to  give  tribute  unto 
Caesar,  or  not? 

18  But  Jesus  perceived  their  wick- 
edness, and  said.  Why  tempt  ye  me,  ye 
hypocrites? 

19  Shew  me  the  tribute  money.  And 
they  brought  unto  him  a  penny. 

20  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Whose 
is  this  image  and  superscription? 

21  They  say  unto  him,  Caesar's. 
Then  saith  he  unto  them.  Render  there- 
fore unto  Caesar  the  things  which  are 


people  of  the  prince  that  shall  come 
shall  destroy  the  city  and  the  sanc- 
tuary; and  the  end  thereof  shall  be 
with  a  flood,  and  unto  the  end  of  the 
war  desolations  are  determined. 

'  JOB  v:13  bHe  taketh  the  wise  in 
their  own  craftiness:  and  the  counsel 
of  the  froward  is  carried  headlong. 

GENESIS  xxxviii:7  cAnd  Er,  Ju- 
dah's  firstborn,  was  wicked  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord;  and  the  Lord  slew 
him. 

8  And  Judah  said  unto  Onan,  Go 
in  unto  thy  brother's  wife,  and  marry 


Ctesar's;     and    unto     God     the  things 
that  are  God's. 

22  When  they  had  heard  these 
words,  ithey  marvelled,  and  left  him, 
and    went    their    way. 

23  The  same  day  came  to  him  the 
Sadducees,  which  say  that  there  is 
no  resurrection,  and  asked  him, 

24  Saying,  Master,  cMoses  said.  If 
a  man  die,  having  no  children,  his 
brother  shall  marry  his  wife,  and  raise 
up  seed   unto  his  brother. 

25  Now  there  were  with  us  seven 
brethren:  and  the  hrst,  when  he  had 
married  a  wife,  deceased,  and,  having 
no  issue,  left  his  wife  unto  his  brother: 

26  Likewise  the  second  also,  an(? 
ihe  third,  unto  the  seventh. 

27  And  last  of  all  the  woman  died 
also. 

28  Therefore  in  the  resurrection, 
whose  wife  shall  she  be  of  the  seven? 
for  they  all  had  her. 

29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Ye  do  err,  not  knowing  the 
Scriptures,  nor  the  power  of  God. 

30  For  in  the  resurrection  they  nei- 
ther marry,  nor  are  given  in  marriage, 
but  are  as  the  angels  of  God  in  heaven. 

31  But  as  touching  the  resurrection 
of  the  dead,  have  ye  not  read  that 
which  was  spoken  unto  you  by  God, 
saying, 

32  dl  am  the  God  of  Abraham,  and 
the  God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of  Ja- 

her,  and  raise  up  seed  to  thy  brother. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxv:5  If  brethren 
dwell  together,  and  one  of  them  die, 
and  have  no  child,  the  wife  of  the 
dead  shall  not  marry  without  unto  a 
stranger:  her  husband's  brother  shall 
go  in  unto  her,  and  take  her  to  him 
to  wife,  and  perform  the  duty  of  a 
husband's  brother  unto  her. 

6  And  it  shall  be,  that  the  first- 
born which  she  beareth  shall  succeed 
in  the  name  of  his  brother  which  is 
dead,  that  his  name  be  not  put  out  of

cob?     God  is  not  the  God  of  the  dead, 
but  of  the  living. 

33  And  when    the  multitude  heard 

this,  they  were  astonished  at  his  doc- 
trine. 

34  But  when  the  Pharisees  had 
heard  that  he  had  put  the  Sadducees 
to  silence,  they  were  gathered  to- 
gether. 

35  Then  one  of  them,  which  was  a 
lawyer,  asked  him  a  question,  tempting 
him,  and  saying, 

36  Master,  which  is  the  greatest 
commandment  in  the  law? 

37  Jesus  said  unto  him,  eThou  shalt 
love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with 
all    thy    mind. 

38  This  is  the  first  and  great  com- 
mandment. 

39  And  the  second  is  like  unto  it, 
fThou  Shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thy- 
self. 

40  On  these  two  commandments 
hang  all  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

EXODUS  iii:6  ^Moreover  he  said, 
I  am  the  God  of  thy  father,  the  Go  1 
of  Abraham,  the  God  of  Isaac,  and  the 
God  of  Jacob.  And  Moses  hid  his 
face;  for  he  was  afraid  to  look  upon 
God. 

16  Go,  and  gather  the  elders  of  Is- 
rael together,  and  say  unto  them.  The 
Lord  God  of  your  fathers,  the  God  of 
Abraham,  of  Isaac,  and  of  Jacob,  ap- 
peared unto  me,  saying,  I  have  surely 
visited  you,  and  seen  that  which  is 
done  to  you  in  Egypt: 

DEUTERONOMY  vi:5  eAnd  thou 
Shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all 
thine  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and 
with  all  thy  might.

rael, what  doth  the  Lord  thy  God  re- 
quire of  thee,  but  to  fear  the  Lord  thy 
God,  to  walk  in  all  his  ways,  and  to 
love  him,  and  to  serve  the  Lord  thy 
God  with  all  thy  heart  and  with  all 
thy  soul.

whose  son  is  he?  They  say  unto  him. 
The  son   of  David. 

43  He  saith  unto  them.  How  then 
doth  David  gin  spirit  call  him  Lord, 
saying, 

44  liThe  Lord  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand,  till  I  make 
thine  enemies  thy  footstool? 

45  If  David  then  call  him  Lord, 
how   is  he  his  son? 

46  And  no  man  was  able  to  answer 
him  a  word,  neither  durst  any  man 
from  that  day  forth  ask  him  any  more 
questions. 

CHAPTER  XXIII. 

Christ  tautfht  the  people  to  obey  the  doctrine 
of  the  scribes  and  Pharisees,  but  not  follow 
their  example.  34  He  predicts  the  destruction 
of  Jerusalem. 

1  Then  spake  Jesus  to  the  multi- 
tude,  and   to  his  disciples, 

2  Saying,  aThe  scribes  and  the 
Pharisees  sit  in  Moses'  seat: 

3  All  therefore  whatsoever  they  bid 

heart,  and  the  heart  of  thy  seed,  to 
love  the  Lord  thy  God  witla  all  thine 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  that  thou 
mayest  live.

am   the   Lord. 

II.  SAMUEL  xxiii:2  gThe  Spirit  of 
the  Lord  spake  by  me,  and  his  word 
was  in  my  tongue.

which  is  the  Tirshatha,  and  Ezra  the

taught  the  people  said  unto  all  the  peo- 
ple. This  day  is  holy  unto  the  Lord 
your  God;  mourn  not,  nor  weep.  For 
all  the  people  wept,  when  they  heard

said  unto  me.  The  prophets  prophesy 
lies  in  ray  name:  I  sent  them  not, 
neither  have  I  commanded  them,  neith- 
er spake  unto  them:  they  prophesy 
unto  you  a  false  vision  and  divination, 
and  a  thing  of  nought,  and  the  deceit 
of  their  heart.

ceit of  their  own  heart:

ple to  forget  my  name  by  their  dreams, 
which  they  tell  every  man  to  his 
neighbour,  as  their  fathers  have  for-

let     him     tell     a    dream:   and  ho  that

troubled:  for  all  these  things  must 
come  to  pass,  but  the  end  is  not  yet.

tion, and  kingdom  against  kingdom: 
and  there  shall  be  famines,  and  pes-

places. 

8  All  these  are  the  beginning  of 
sorrows. 

9  Then  shall  they  deliver  you  up 
to  be  afflicted,  and  shall  kill  you:   and 

hath  my  word,  let  him  speak  my  word 
faithfully.  What  is  the  chaff  to  the 
wheat?  saith  the  Lord. 

29  Is  not  my  word  like  as  a  fire? 
saith  the  Lord;  and  like  a  hammer 
that  breaketh  the  rock  in  pieces? 

30  Therefore,  behold,  I  am  against

my  words  every  one  from  his  neigh- 
bour.

10  And  then  shall  many  be  of- 
fended, and  shall  betray  one  another, 
and  shall  hate  one  another. 

11  And  many  false  prophets  shall 
rise,  and  shall  deceive  many. 

12  And  because  iniquity  shall 
abound,  the  love  of  many  shall  wax 
cold. 

13  But  he  that  shall  endure  unto 
the  end,  the  same  shall  be  saved. 

14  And  this  gospel  of  the  kingdom 
shall  be  preached  in  all  the  world  for 
a  witness  unto  all  nations;  and  then 
shall  the  end  come. 

15  When  ye  therefore  shall  see  the 
abomination  of  desolation,  spoken  of 
by  dDaniel  the     prophet,  stand  in  the 

his  hand  shall  rise  up  against  the  hand 
of  his  neighbour. 

DANIEL  ix:22  dGabriel  informed 
me,  and  talked  with  me,  and  said,  O 
Daniel,  I  am  now  come  forth  to  give 
thee  skill  and  understanding. 

23  At  the  beginning  of  thy  suppli- 
cations the  commandment  came  forth, 
and  I  am  come  to  shew  thee;  for  thou 
art  greatly  beloved:  therefore  under- 
stand the  matter,  and  consider  the 
vision. 

25  Know  therefore  and  understand, 
that  from  the  going  forth  of  the  com- 
mandment to  restore  and  build  Jeru- 
salem, unto  the  Messiah  the  Prince, 
shall  be  seven  weeks,  and  threescore 
and  two  weeks:  the  street  shall  be 
built  again,  and  the  wall,  even  in 
troublous  times. 

26  And  after  threescore  and  two 
weeks  shall  Messiah  be  cut  off,  but 
not  for  himself:  and  the  people  of  the 
prince  that  shall  come  shall  destroy 
the  city  and  the  sanctuary;  and  the 
end  thereof  shall  be  with  a  flood,  and 
unto  the  end  of  the  war  desolations 
are  determined. 

27  And  he  shall  confirm  the  cove- 
nant with  many  for  one  week:  and  in 
the  midst  of  the  week  he  shall  cause 
the  sacrifice  and  the  oblation  to  cease, 
and  for  the  overspreading  of  abomi- 
nations he  shall  make  it  desolate,  even 


holy  place,  (whoso  readeth,  let  him 
understand.) 

16  Then  let  them  which  be  in  Judaea 
flee  into  the  mountains: 

17  Let  him  which  is  on  the  house- 
top not  come  down  to  take  any  thing 
out  of  his  house: 

18  Neither  let  him  which  is  in  the 
field  return  back  to  take  his  clothes. 

19  And  woe  unto  them  that  are 
with  child,  and  to  them  that  give  suck 
in  those  days! 

20  But  pray  ye  that  your  flight  be 
not  in  the  winter,  neither  on  the  sab- 
bath day: 

21  eFor  then  shall  be  great  tribu- 
lation, such  as  was  not  since  the  be- 
ginning of  the  world  to  this  time,  no, 
nor  ever  shall  be. 

until  the  consummation,  and  that  de- 
termined shall  be  poured  upon  the  de- 
solate. 

DANIEL  XII  :1  eAnd  at  that  time 
shall  Michael  stand  up,  the  great 
prince  which  standeth  for  the  children 
of  thy  people:  and  there  shall  be  a 
time  of  trouble,  such  as  never  was 
since  there  was  a  nation  even  to  that 
same  time:  and  at  that  time  thy  peo- 
ple shall  be  delivered,  every  one  that 
shall  be  found  written  in  the  book. 

10  Many  shall  be  purified,  and  made 
white,  and  tried;  but  the  wicked  shall 
do  wickedly:  and  none  of  the  wicked 
shall  understand;  but  the  wise  shall 
understand. 

11  And  from  the  time  that  the  daily 
sacrifice  shall  be  taken  away,  and  the 
abomination  that  maketh  desolate  set 
up,  there  shall  be  a  thousand  two  hun- 
dred and  ninety  days. 

JOEL  11:1  Blow  ye  the  trumpet  in 
Zion,  and  sound  an  alarm  in  my  holy 
mountain:  let  all  the  inhabitants  of 
the  land  tremble:  for  the  day  of  the 
Lord  Cometh,  for  it  is  nigh  at  hand; 

2  A  day  of  darkness  and  of  gloomi- 
ness, a  day  of  clouds  and  of  thick 
darkness,  as  the  morning  spread  upon 
the  mountains:  a  great  people  and  a 
strong;  there  hath  not  been  ever  the 
like,  neither  shall  be  any  more  after 
it,  even  to  the  years  of  many  genera- 
tions.

mourn,  and  they  shall  see  the  Son  of

which  took  their  lamps,  and  went  forth 
to  meet  the  bridegroom. 

2  And  five  of  them  were  wise,  and 
afive  were  foolish. 

3  They  that  were  foolish  took  their 
lamps,  but  took  no  oil  with  them: 

4  But  the  wise  took  oil  in  their  ves- 
sels with  their  lamps. 

5  While  the  bridegroom  tarried, 
they  all  slumbered  and  slept. 

6  And  at  midnight  there  was  a  cry 
made.  Behold,  the  bridegroom  cometh; 
go  ye  out  to  meet  him. 

7  Then  all  those  virgins  arose,  and 
trimmed   their  lamps. 

8  And  the  foolish  said  unto  the 
wise.  Give  us  of  your  oil;  for  our  lamps 
are  gone  out. 

9  But  the  wise  answered,  saying. 
Not  so;  lest  there  be  not  enough  for 
us  and  you:  but  go  ye  rather  to  them

bridegroom  came;  and  they  that  were 
ready  went  in  with  him  to  the  mar-

other  virgins,  saying,  Lord,  Lord,  open

13  Watch  therefore;  for  ye  know 
neither  the  day  nor  the  hour  wherein 
the  Son  of  man  cometh. 

14  For  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  as

ents, to  another  two,  and  to  another 
one;    to   every   man    according   to   his 


several  ability;    and  straightway  took 
his  journey. 

16  Then  he  that  had  received  the 
five  talents  went  and  traded  with  the 
same,  and  made  them  other  five  tal- 
ents. 

17  And  likewise  he  that  had  re-

those  servants  cometh,  and  reckoneth 
with  them. 

20  And  so  he  that  had  received  five 
talents  came  and  brought  other  five 
talents,  saying,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst 
unto  me  five  talents:  behold,  I  have 
gained  beside  them  five  talents  more. 

21  His  lord  said  unto  him,  Well 
done,  thou  good  and  faithful  servant: 
thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a  few 
things,  I  will  make  thee  ruler  over 
many  things:  enter  thou  into  the  joy 
of  thy   lord. 

22  He  also  that  had  received 
two  talents  came  and  said.  Lord,  thou 
deliveredst  unto  me  two  talents:  be- 
hold, I  have  gained  two  other  talents 
beside  them. 

23  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well 
done,  good  and  faithful  servant;  thou 
hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things,  I 
will  make  thee  ruler  over  many 
things:  enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy 
lord. 

24  Then  he  which  had  received  the 
one  talent  came  and  said,  Lord,  I 
knew  thee  that  thou  art  a  hard  man, 
reaping  where  thou  hast  not  sown,  and 
gathering  where  thou  hast  not 
strewed:

treacherously,  and  boldest  thy  tongue 
when  the  wicked  devoureth  the  man 
that  is  more  righteous  than  he?

five  of  them  were  destitute  of  the  oil  of  grace 
in  their  hearts.

25  And  I  was  afraid,  aud  went  and 
hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth:  lo,  there 
thou  hast  that  is  thine. 

26  His  lord  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Thou  w-icked  and  slothful  serv- 
ant, thou  knewest  that  I  reap  where  I 
sowed  not,  and  gather  where  I  have  not 
strewed: 

27  Thou  oughtest  therefore  to  have 
put  my  money  to  the  exchangers,  and 
then  at  my  coming  I  should  have  re- 
ceived mine  own  with  usury. 

28  Take  therefore  the  talent  from 
him,  and  give  it  unto  him  which  hath 
ten  talents. 

29  For  unto  every  one  that  hath 
shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have 
abundance:  but  from  him  that  *hath

sick,  and  ye  visited  me:  I  was  in

The  rulers  conspire  against  Christ.  7  Mary 
anoints  Jesus.  14  Judas  sold  Christ.  17  The 
disciples  made  ready  the  Passover.  20  Jesus 
with  the  twelve  ate  the  Passover.  20  Jesus  in-

Gethsemane.  47  A  mob  took  Jesus  to  Caiaphas. 
69  Peter  denied  his  master. 

1     And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus 

had  finished  all  these  sayings,  he  said 

unto  his  disciples, 

spoiled  none  by  violence,  hath  given 
his  bread  to  the  hungry,  and  hath  cov-

2  Ye  know  that  after  two  days  is 
the  feast  of  the  passover,  and  the  Son 
of  man  is  betrayed  to  be  crucified. 

3  jThen  assembled  together  the 
chief  priests,  and  the  scribes,  and  the 
elders  of  the  people,  unto  the  palace 
of  the  high  priest,  who  was  called  Cai- 
aphas. 

4  And  consulted  that  they  might 
take  Jesus  by  subtilty,  and  kill  him. 

5  But  they  said.  Not  on  the  feast 
day,  lest  there  be  an  uproar  among  the 
people. 

6  Now  when  Jesus  was  in  Beth- 
any, in  the  house  of  Simon  the  leper, 

7  There  came  unto  him  a  woman 
having  an  alabaster  box  of  very  pre- 
cious ointment,  and  poured  it  on  his 
head,  as  he  sat  at  meat. 

8  But  when  his  disciples  saw  it, 
thej'  had  iiidignation,  saying,  to  what 
purpose  is  this  waste? 

9  For  this  ointment  might  have 
been  sold  for  much,  and  given  to  the 
poor. 

10  When  Jesus  understood  it,  he 
said  unto  them,  Why  trouble  ye  the 
woman?  for  she  hath  wrought  a  good 
work  upon  me. 

ZECHARIAH  ii:8  For  thus  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts;  After  the  glory  hath 
he  sent  me  unto  the  nations  which 
spoiled  you:  for  he  that  toucheth  you, 
toucheth  the  apple  of  his  eye.

that  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth  shall

11  kFor  ye  have  the  puor  always 
with  you;  but  me  ye  have  not  always. 

12  For  in  that  she  hath  poured  this 
ointment  on  my  body,  .she  did  it  for 
my  burial. 

13  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Whereso- 
ever this  gospel  sliall  be  preached  in 
the  whole  world,  there  shall  also  this, 
that  this  woman  hath  done,  be  told  for 
a  memorial  of  her. 

14  Then  one  of  the  twelve,  called 
Judas  Iscariot,  went  unto  the  chief 
priests, 

15  And  said  unto  them.  What  will 
ye  give  me,  and  I  will  deliver  him 
unto  you?  And  they  covenanted  with 
him  for  ithirty   pieces   of  silver. 

16  And  from  that  time  he  sought 
opportunity   to   betray  him. 

17  niNow  on  the  first  day  of  the 
feast  or  unleavened  bread  the  disciples 
came  to  Jesus,  saying  unto  him.  Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  prepare  for  thee  to 
eat  the  passover? 

18  And  he  said.  Go  into  the  city  to 
such  a  man,  and  say  unto  him.  The 
Master  saith.  My  time  is  at  hand;  I 
will  keep  the  passover  at  thy  house 
with  my  disciples.

needy,  in  thy  land. 

ZECHARIAH  xi:12  lAnd  I  said  un- 
to them.  If  ye  think  good,  give  me  my 
price;  and  if  not,  forbear.  So  they 
weighed  for  my  price  thirty  pieces  of 
silver. 

EXODUS  xii:5  mYour  lamb  .shall  be

6  And  ye  shall  keep  it  up  until  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  same  month:  and 
the  whole  assembly  of  the  congrega- 
tion of  Israel  shall  kill  it  in  the  even- 
ing. 


19  And  the  disciples  did  as  Jesus 
had  appointed  them;  and  they  made 
ready  the  passover. 

20  Now  when  the  even  was  come, 
he  sat  down  with  the  twelve. 

21  And  as  they  did  eat,  he  said. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  one  of  you 
shall  betray  me. 

22  And  they  were  exceeding  sorrow- 
ful, and  began  every  one  of  them  to 
say  unto  him.  Lord,  is  it  I? 

23  And  he  answered  and  said,  nHe 
that  dippeth  his  hand  with  me  in  the 
dish,  the  same  shall  betray  me. 

24  The  Son  of  man  goeth  as  it  is

if  he  had  not  been  born. 

25  Then  Judas,  which  betrayed  him, 
answered  and  said.  Master,  is  it  I?  He 
said  unto  him.  Thou  hast  said. 

26  And  as  they  were  eating,  Jesus 
took  bread,  and  blessed  it,  and  brake 
it,  and  gave  it  to  the  disciples,  and 
said.  Take,  eat;   this  is  my  body. 

27  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  gave 
thanks,  and  gave  it  to  them,  saying, 
Drink  ye  all  of  it,

hymn,  they  went  out  into  the  mount

him.  Though  all  men  shall  be  offended

unto  a  place  called  Gethsemane,  and 
saith  unto  the  disciples.  Sit  ye  here,

be  sorrowful  and  very  heavy. 

38  Then  saith  he  unto  them,  My 
soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful,  even 
unto  death:  tarry  ye  here,  and  watch 
with  me. 

39  And  he  went  a  little  further,  and 
fell   on   his  face,   and   prayed,   saying, 

0  my  Father,  if  it  be  possible,  let  this 
cup  pass  from  me:  nevertheless,  not 
as  I  will,  but  as  thou  wilt. 

40  And  he  cometh  unto  the  dis- 
ciples, and  findeth  them  asleep,  and 
saith  unto  Peter,  What,  could  ye  not 
watch   with   me   one   hour? 

41  Watch  and  pray,  that  ye  enter 
not  into  temptation:  the  spirit  indeed 
is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is  weak. 

42  He  went  away  again  the  second 
time,  and  prayed,  saying,  0  my  Father, 
if  this  cup  may  not  pass  away  from 
me,  except  I  drink  it,  thy  will  be  done. 

43  And  he  came  and  found  them 
asleep  again:  for  their  eyes  were 
heavy. 

44  And  he  left  them,  and  went  away 
again,  and  prayed  the  third  time,  say-

49  And  forthwith  he  came  to  Je- 
sus, and  said,  Hail,  Master!  and 
ukissed  him. 

50  And  Jesus  said  unto  him, 
vFriend,  wherefore  art  thou  come? 
Then  came  they,  and  laid  hands  on 
Jesus,  and  took  him. 

51  And,  behold,  one  of  them  which 
were  with  Jesus  stretched  out  his  hand, 
and  drew  his  sword,  and  struck  a  serv- 

the  heaven:  they  pursued  us  upon  the 
mountains,  they  laid  wait  for  us  in  the 
v.ilderness. 

20  The  breath  of  our  nostrils,  the 
anointed  of  the  Lord,  was  taken  in 
their  pits,  of  whom  we  said.  I'nder  his 
shadow  we  shall  live  among  the  hea- 
then. 

II.  SAMUEL  XX :  9  uAnd  Joab  said 
to  Amasa.  Art  thou  in  health,  my 
brother?  And  Joab  took  Amasa  by  the 
beard  with  the  right  hand  to  kiss  him. 

10  But  Amasa  took  no  heed  to  the 
sword  that  was  in  Joab's  hand:  so  he 
smote  him  therewith  in  the  fifth  rib, 
and  shed  out  his  bowels  to  the  ground, 
and  struck  him  not  again;  and  he 
died. 

PSALM  xli:9  vYea.  mine  own 
familiar  friend,  in  whom  I  trusted, 
which  did  eat  of  my  bread,  hath  lifted 
up  his  heel  against  me. 

PSALM  lv:13  But  it  was  thou,  a 
man  mine  equal,  my  guide  and  mine 
acquaintance. 

14  We  took  sweet  counsel  together, 
and  walked  unto  the  house  of  God  in 
company.

ant  of  the  high  priest,  and  smote  off 
his   ear. 

52  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him.  Put 
up  again  thy  sword  into  his  place ;wfor 
all  they  that  take  the  sword  shall  per- 
ish with  the  sword. 

53  Thinkest  thou  that  I  cannot  now 
pray  to  my  Father,  and  he  shall  pres- 
ently give  me  xmore  than  twelve  le- 
gions of  angels? 

54  But  yhow  then  shall  the  Scrip- 
tures be  fulhlled,  that  thus  it  must  be? 

55  In  that  same  hour  said  Jesus  to 
the  multitudes,  Are  ye  come  out  as 
against  a  thief  with  swords  and  staves 
for  to  take  me?  I  sat  daily  with  you 
teaching  in  the  temple,  and  ye  laid  no 
hold  on  me. 

56  But  all  this  was  done,  that  the 
zScriptures  of  the  prophets  might  be 
fulfilled.  Then  all  the  disciples  for- 
sook him,  and  fled.

man;  and  he  saw:  and.  behold,  the 
mountain  was  full  of  horses  and  char- 
iots of  fire  round  about  Elisha. 

DANIEL  vii:10  A  fiery  stream

ment was  set,  and  the  books  were 
opened.

57  And  they  that  had  laid  hold  on 
Jesus  led  him  away  to  Caiaphas  the 
high  priest,  where  the  scribes  and  the 
elders  were  assembled. 

58  But  Peter  followed  him  afar  off 
unto  the  high  priest's  palace,  and  went 

delivered:   they    trusted     in  thee,  and 
were  not  confounded. 

6  But  I  am  a  worm,  and  no  man; 
a  reproach  of  men,  and  despised  of  the 
people. 

7  All  they  that  see  me  laugh  me  to 
scorn:  they  shoot  out  the  lip,  they 
shake  the  head,  saying, 

8  He  trusted  on  the  Lord  that  he 
would  deliver  him:  let  him  deliver 
him,  seeing  he  delighted  in  him. 

9  But  thou  art  he  that  took  me  out 
of  the  womb:  thou  didst  make  me 
hope  when  I  was  upon  my  mother's 
breasts. 

10  I  was  cast  upon  thee  from  the 
womb:  thou  art  my  God  from  my 
mother's  belly. 

11  Be  not  far  from  me;  for  trouble 
is  near;  for  there  is  none  to  help. 

12  Many  bulls  have  compassed  me: 
strong  bulls  of  Bashan  have  beset  me 
round. 

13  They  gaped  upon  me  with  their 
months,  as  a  ravening  and  a  roaring 
lion. 

14  I  am  poured  out  like  water,  and 
all  my  bones  are  out  of  joint:  my  heart 
is  like  wax;  it  is  melted  in  the  midst 
of  my  bowels. 

15  My  strength  is  dried  up  like  a 
potsherd;  and  my  tongue  cleaveth  to 
my  jaws;  and  thou  hast  brought  me 
into  the  dust  of  death. 

16  For  dogs  have  compassed  me: 
the  assembly  of  the  wicked  have  in- 
closed me:  they  pierced  my  hands  and 
my  feet. 

17  I  may  tell  all  my  bones:  they 
look  and  stare  upon  me. 

18  They  part  my  garments  among 
them,  and  cast  lots  upon  my  vesture. 

19  But  be  not  thou  far  from  me,  O 
Lord:  O  my  strength,  haste  thee  to 
help   me. 

20  Deliver  my  soul  from  the  sword; 
my  darling  from  the  power  of  the  dog. 

21  Save  me  from  the  lion's  mouth:

59  Now  the  chief  priests,  and  el-

witness  against  Jesus,  to  put  him  to 
death; 

brethren:    in  the  midst  of  the  congre- 
gation will  I  praise  thee. 

ISAIAH  LIII:1  Who  hath  believed 
our  report?  and  to  whom  is  the  arm 
of  the  Lord  revealed? 

2  For  he  shall  grow  up  before  him 
as  a  tender  plant,  and  as  a  root  out  of 
a  dry  ground:  he  hath  no  form  nor 
comeliness;  and  when  we  shall  see  him, 
there  is  no  beauty  that  we  should  de- 
sire him. 

3  He  is  despised  and  rejected  of 
men;  a  man  of  sorrows,  and  ac- 
quainted with  grief:  and  we  hid  as  it 
were  our  faces  from  him;  he  w^as  de- 
spised, and  we  esteemed  him  not. 

4  Surely  he  hath  borne  our  griefs, 
and  carried  our  sorrows:  yet  we  did 
esteem  him  stricken,  smitten  of  God, 
and  afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  wounded  for  our 
transgressions,  he  was  bruised  for  our 
iniquities:  the  chastisement  of  our 
peace  was  upon  him;  and  with  his 
stripes  we  are  healed. 

6  All  we  like  sheep  have  gone 
astray;  we  have  turned  every  one  to  his 
own  way;  and  the  Lord  hath  laid  on 
him  the  iniquity  of  us  all. 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was 
afflicted,  yet  he  opened  not  his  mouth: 
he  is  brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaugh- 
ter, and  as  a  sheep  before  her  shearers 
is  dumb,  so  he  openeth  not  his  mouth. 

8  He  was  taken  from  prison  and 
from  judgment:  and  who  shall  declare 
his  generation?  for  he  was  cut  off  out 
of  the  land  of  the  living:  for  the  trans- 
gression of  my  people  was  he  stricken. 

9  And  he  made  his  grave  with  the 
wicked,  and  with  the  rich  in  his  death; 
because  he  had  done  no  violence, 
neither  was  any  deceit  in  his  mouth. 

10  Yet  it  pleased  the  Lord  to  bruise 
him;  he  hath  put  him  to  grief:  when 
thou  Shalt  make  his  soul  an  offering 
for  sin,  he  shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall 
prolong  his  days,  and  the  pleasure  of 
the  Lord  shall  prosper  in  his  hand. 

11  He  shall  see  of  the  travail  of  his 
soul,  and    shall    be    satisfied:     by  his

the  transgressors;  and  he  bare  the  sin 
of  many,  and  made  intercession  for  the 
transgressors.

eHereafter  shall  ye  see  the  Son  of  man 
fsitting  on  the  right  hand  of  power, 
and   coming  in  the  clouds  of  heaven. 

65  Then  the  high  priest  grent  his 
clothes,  saying.  He  hath  spoken 
blaspemy;  what  further  need  have  we 
of  witnesses?  behold,  now  ye  have 
heard   hhis  blasphemy.

Saul  had  adjured  the  people,  saying, 
Cursed  be  the  man  that  eateth  any 
food  until  evening,  that  I  may  be 
avenged  on  mine  enemies.  So  none 
of  the  people  tasted  any  food. 

26  And  when  the  people  were  come 
into  the  wood,  behold,  the  honey 
dropped;  but  no  man  put  his  hand  to

67  JThen  did  they  spit  in  his  face,

68  Saying,  Prophesy  unto  us,  thou 
Christ,  Who  is  he  that  smote  thee? 

69  Now  Peter  sat  without  in  the 
palace;  and  a  damsel  came  unto  him, 
saying,  Thou  also  wast  with  Jesus  of 
Galilee. 

70  But  he  denied  before  them  all, 
saying,  I  know  not  what  thou  sayest. 

71  And  when  he  was  gone  out  into 
the  porch,  another  maid  saw  him,  and 
said  unto  them  that  were  there,  This

Surely  thou  also  art  one  of  them;  for

of  Jesus,  which  said  unto  him.  Before 
the  cock  crow,  thou  shalt  deny  me

bitterly.

himself.  19  Pilate's  wife  admonished  him.  24 
Pilate  assumed  innocency.  2b  He  i-eleased 
Barabbas.  34  On  the  cross  Jesus  refused  vin- 
egar with  gall.  39  Jesus  was  reviled  on  the 
cross.  50  When  Jesus  expired,  the  vail  of  the 
temple  was  rent  in  twain,  and  there  was  an 
earthquake.  54  The  centurion  and  others  said. 
Truly,  this  was  the  Son  of  God.  57  Joseph  of 
Arimathea  prepared  the  body  of  Jesus  and  laid 
it  in  his  new  tomb.  62  The  tomb  was  guarded 
by  soldiers. 

1  When  the  morning  was  come,  aall 
the  chief  priests  and  elders  of  the  peo- 
ple took  counsel  against  Jesus  to  put 
him  to  death: 

2  And  when  they  had  bound  him, 
they  led  him  away,  and  delivered  him 
to   Pontius  Pilate  the  governor. 

3.  Then  bjudas,  which  had  betrayed 
him,  when  he  saw  that  he  was  con- 
demned, repented  himself,  and  brought 
again  the  thirty  pieces  of  silver  to  the 
chief  priests  and  elders, 

4  Saying,  I  have  sinned  in  that  I 
have  betrayed  the  innocent  blood.  And 
they  said.  What  is  that  to  us?  see 
thou  to  that. 

5  And  he  cast  down  the  pieces  of 
silver  in  the  temple,  cand  departed,  and 
went   and   hanged   himself. 

6  And  the  chief  priests  took  the 
silver  pieces,  and  said.  It  is  not  lawful 

the  wicked  is  short,  and  the  joy  of  the 
hypocrite  but  for  a  moment? 

15  He  hath  swallowed  down  riches, 
and  he  shall  vomit  them  up  again:  God 
shall  cast  them  out  of  his  belly. 

IL  SAMUEL  xvii:23  cAnd  when 
Ahithophel  saw  that  his  counsel  was 
not  followed,  he  saddled  his  ass,  and 
arose,  and  gat  him  home  to  his  house, 
to  his  city,  and  put  his  house  in  order, 
and  hanged  himself,  and  died,  ana

for  to  put  thoni  into  the  treasury,  be- 
cause it  is  the  price  of  blood. 

7  And  they  took  counsel,  and 
bought  with  them  the  potter's  field,  to 
bury  strangers  in. 

8  \Vlierefore  that  field  was  called, 
The  field  of  blood,  unto  this  day. 

9  Then  was  fulfilled  that  which 
was  spoken  by  Jeremiah  [or  rather 
Zochariaiil  the  prophet,  saying,  dAnd 
they  took  the  thirty  pieces  of  silver, 
the  price  of  him  that  was  valued, 
whom  they  of  the  children  of  Israel 
did  value: 

10  Aud  gave  them  for  the  potter's 
field,   as    the    Lord    appointed    me. 

11  And  Jesus  stood  before  the  gov- 
ernor: and  the  governor  asked  him, 
saying.  Art  thou  the  King  of  the  Jews? 
And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Thou  sayest. 

12  And  when  he  was  accused  of  the 
chief  priests  and  elders,  ehe  answered 
nothing. 

13  Then  said  Pilate  unto  him,  near- 
est thou  not  how  many  things  they  wit- 
ness against  thee? 

14  And  he  answered  him  to  never  a 
word;  insomuch  that  the  governor 
marvelled  greatly. 

15  Now  at  that  feast  the  governor 
was  wont  to  release  unto  the  people 
a  prisoner,  whom  they  would. 

16  And  they  had  then  a  notable 
prisoner,  called  Barabbas. 

17  Therefore  when  they  were  gath- 
ered together,  Pilate  said  unto  them. 


to  them.  If  ye  think  good,  give  me  my 
price:  and  if  not,  forbear.  So  they 
weighed  for  my  price  thirty  pieces  of 
silver. 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Cast 
it  unto  the  potter:  a  goodly  price  that 
I  was  prized  of  them.  And  I  took 
the  thirty  pieces  of  silver,  and  cast 
them  to  the  potter  in  the  house  of  the 
Lord.

and  he  was  afflicted,  yet  he  opened  not 
his  mouth. 


Whom  will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you? 
Barabbas,  or  Jesus  which  is  called 
Christ? 

18  For  he  knew  that  for  envy  they 
had  delivered  him. 

19  When  lie  was  set  down  on  the 
judgment  seat,  his  wife  sent  unto  him, 
saying.  Have  thou  nothing  to  do  with 
that  just  man:  for  I  have  suffered  many 
things  this  day  in  fa  dream  because  of 
him. 

20  But  the  chief  priests  and  elders 
persuaded  the  multitude  that  they 
should  ask  Barabbas,  and  destroy  Je- 
sus. 

21  The  governor  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  Whether  of  the  twain  will 
ye  that  I  release  unto  you?  They 
said,  Barabbas. 

22  Pilate  saith  unto  them.  What 
shall  I  do  then  with  Jesus  which  is 
called  Christ?  They  all  say  unto  him. 
Let  him  be  crucified. 

23  And  the  governor  said,  Why, 
what  evil  hath  he  done?  But  they 
cried  out  the  more,  saying.  Let  him 
be  crucified. 

24  When  Pilate  saw  that  he  could 
prevail  nothing,  but  that  rather  a  tu- 
mult was  made,  ghe  took  water,  and 
washed  his  hands  before  the  multitude, 
saying,  I  am  innocent  of  the  blood  of 
this  just  person:   see  ye  to  it. 

25  Then  answered  all  the  people, 
and  said,  bHis  blood  be  on  us,  and  on 
our  children.

26  Then  released  he  Barabbas  un- 
to them:  and  when  ihe  had  scourged 
Jesus,  he  delivered  him  to  be  crucified. 

27  Then  the  soldiers  of  the  govern- 
or took  Jesus  into  the  common  hall, 
and  gathered  unto  him  the  whole  band 
of   soldiers. 

28  And  they  stripped  him,  and  put 
on  him  a  scarlet  robe. 

29  JAnd  when  they  had  platted  a 
crown  of  thorns,  they  put  it  upon  his 
head,  and  a  reed  in  his  right  hand:  and 
they  bowed  the  knee  before  him,  and 
mocked  him,  saying.  Hail,  King  of  the 
Jews! 

30  kAnd  they  spit  upon  him,  and 
took  the  reed,  and  smote  him  on  the 
head. 

31  And  after  that  they  had  mocked 
him,  they  took  the  robe  off  from  him, 
and  put  his  own  raiment  on  him,  land 
led  him  away  to  crucify  him.

a  place  called  Golgotha,  that  is  to  say, 
a  place  of  a  skull, 

34  mThey  gave  him  vinegar  to 
drink  mingled  with  gall:  and  when 
he  had  tasted  thereof,  he  would  not

it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken

him  there;.

gave  him  to  drink.

with  a  loud  voice,  yielded  up  the 
ghost.

ST.  MATTHEW  XXVH. 


Jesus  in  his  Sepulchre! 


55  And  many  women  were  there  be- 
holding him  afar  off,  which  followed 
Jesus  from  Galilee,  ministering  unto 
him: 

56  Among  them  which  was  Mary- 
Magdalene,  and  Mary  the  mother  of 
James  and  Joses,  and  the  mother  of 
Zebedee's  children. 

57  When  the  even  was  come,  there 
came  a  rich  man  of  arimathea,  named 
Joseph,  who  also  himself  was  Jesus* 
disciple: 

58  And  he  went  to  Pilate,  and 
begged  the  body  of  Jesus.  Then  Pilate 
commaded  the  body  to  be  delivered. 

59  And  when  Joseph  had  taken  the 
body,  he  wrapped  it  in  a  clean  linen 
cloth. 

60  xAnd  laid  it  in  his  own  new 
tomb,  which  he  had  hewn  out  of  the 
rock;  and  he  rolled  ya  great  stone  to 
the  door  of  the  sepulchre,  and  depart- 
ed. 

61  And  there  was  Mary  Magdalene, 
and  the  other  Mary,  sitting  over 
against  the  sepulchre. 

62  Now  the  next  day,  that  followed 
the  day  of  the  preparation,  the  chief 
priests  and  Pharisees  came  together 
unto  Pilate, 

63  Saying,  Sir,  we  remember  that 
deceiver  said,  while  he  was  yet  alive. 
After  three  days  I  will  ,rise  again. 

64  Command  therefore  that  the  sep- 
ulchre be  made  sure  until  the  third 
day,  lest  his  disciples  come  by  night, 
and  steal  him  away,  and  say  unto  the 

ISAIAH  liii:9  xAnd  he  made  his

his    mouth. 

DANIEL  vi:17  yAnd  a  stone  was

the  den;  and  the  king  sealed  it  with 
his  own  signet,  and  with  the  signet  of 
his  lords;  that  the  purpose  might  not 
be  changed  concerning  Daniel.

the  last  error  shall  be  worse  than  the 
first. 

65  Pilate  said  unto  them.  Ye  have 
a  watch:  go  your  way,  make  it  as  sure 
as  ye  can. 

66  So  they  went,  and  made  the  sep- 
ulchre sure,  sealing  the  stone,  and  set- 
ting a  watch. 

CHAPTER  XXVIII. 

An  angel  announces  Christ's  resurrection  to 
the  women.  7  The  women  carry  the  news  of 
the  resurrection  to  the  disciples.  9  Jesus  met 
the  women.  11  The  watch  were  hired  to  say 
that  the  disciples  stole  Jesus  from  the  tomb. 
16  The  apostles  met  Jesus  in  Galilee.  19  Christ 
commissioned  them  to  teach  and  baptize  all 
nations. 

1  In  the  end  of  the  Sabbath,  as  it 
began  to  dawn  toward  *the  first  daj' 
of  the  week,  came  Mary  Magdalene 
and  the  other  Mary  to  see  the  sep- 
ulchre. 

2  And,  behold,  there  was  a  great 
earthquake:  for  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
descended  from  heaven,  and  came  and 
rolled  back  the  stone  from  the  door, 
and  sat  upon  it. 

3  zHis  countenance  was  like  light- 
ning, and  his  raiment  white  as  snow: 

4  And  for  fear  of  him  the  keepers 
did  shake,  and  became  as  dead  men. 

5  And  the  angel  answered  and  said 
unto  the  women.  Fear  not  ye:  for  I 
know  that  ye  seek  Jesus,  which  was 
crucified. 

6  He  is  not  here:  for  he  is  risen, 
as  he  said.  Come,  see  the  place  where 
the  Lord  lay. 

7  And  go  quickly,  and  tell  his  dis- 
like the  beryl,  and  his  face  as  the  ap- 
peai'ance  of  lightning,  and  his  eyes  as 
lamps  of  lire,  and  his  arms  and  his 
feet  like  in  colour  to  polished  brass, 
and  the  voice  of  his  words  like  the 
voice   of   a    multitude.

and,  behold,  he  goeth  before  you  into 
Galilee;  there  shall  ye  see  him:  lo,  I

8  And  they  departed  quickly  from 
the  sepulchre  with  fear  and  great  joy; 
and  did  run  to  bring  his  disciples  word. 

9  And  as  they  went  to  tell  his  dis- 
ciples, behold,  Jesus  met  them,  saying, 
All  hail.  And  they  came  and  held 
him  by   the  feet,  and   worshiped  him. 

10  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  Be 
not  afraid:  go  tell  my  brethren  that 
they  go  into  Galilee,  and  there  shall 
they  see  me. 

11  Now  when  they  were  going,  be-

city,  and  shewed  unto  the  chief  priests 
all   the   things  that   were  done. 

12  And  when  they  were  assembled 
with  the  elders,  and  had  taken  coun- 
sel, they  gave  large  money  unto  the 
soldiers,

DANIEL  vii:13  al  saw  in  the  night

of  man  came  with  the  clouds  of 
heaven,  and  came  to  the  Ancient  of 
days,  and  they  brought  him  before 
him. 

14  And  there  was  given  him  do- 
minion, and  glory,  and  a  kingdom,  that 
all  people,  nations,  and  languages, 
should  serve  him;  his  dominion  is  an 
everlasting  dominion,  which  shall  not 
pass  away,  and  his  kingdom  that 
which   shall   not  be   destroyed. 

PSALM  viii:4  What  is  man,  that 
thou  art  mindful  of  him?  and  the  son 
of  man,  that  thou  visitest  him? 

5  For  thou  hast  made  him  a  little 
lower  than  the  angels,  and  hast 
crowned  him  with  glory  and  honour. 

G  Thou  madest  him  to  have  domin- 
ion over  the  works  of  thy  hands;  thou 


came    by    night,    and   stole   him   away 
while  we  slept. 

14  And  if  this  come  to  the  govern- 
or's ears,  we  will  persuade  him,  and 
secure  you. 

15  So  they  took  the  money,  and  did 
as  they  were  taught;  and  this  .say in  ? 
is  commonly  reported  among  the  Jews 
until  this   day. 

16  Then  the  eleven  disciples  went 
away  into  Galilee,  into  a  mountain 
where  Jesus  had  appointed  them. 

17  And  when  they  saw  him,  they 
worshiped   him:    but   some   doubted. 

18  And  Jesus  came  and  spake  un- 
to them,  saying,  aAU  power  is  given 
unto  me  in  heaven  and  in  earth. 

19  Go  ye  therefore,  and  bteach  all

the  land  of  Judaea,  and  they  of  Jeru- 
salem, and  were  all  baptized  of  him  in 
the  river  of  Jordan,  confessing  their 
sins. 

6  And  John  was  clothed  with  cam- 
el's hair,  and  with  a  girdle  of  a  skin 
about  his  loins;  and  he  did  deat  locusts 
and  wild  honey; 

7  And  preached,  saying,  There  com-

the  grasshopper  after  his  kind.

9  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days, 
that  Jesus  came  from  Nazareth  of  Gal- 
ilee, and  was  baptized  of  John  in  Jor- 
dan. 

10  And  straightway  coming  up  out 
of  the  water,  he  saw  the  heavens 
opened,  and  the  Spirit  like  a  dove  de- 
scending upon  him: 

11  And  there  came  a  voice  from 
heaven,  saying,  fThou  art  my  beloved 
Son,  in  whom  I  am  well  pleased. 

12  And  immediately  the  Spirit  driv- 
eth  him  into  the  wilderness. 

13  And  he  was  there  in  the  wilder- 
ness forty  days  tempted  of  Satan;  and 
was  with  the  wild  beasts;  and  the  an- 
gels ministered  unto  him. 

14  Now  after  that  John  was  put  in 
prison,  Jesus  came  into  Galilee,  preach- 
ing the  gospel  of  the  kingdom  of  God, 

15  And    saying,    gThe   time    is    fu!-

my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh;  and  your  sons

IG  Now  as  he  walked  by  the  sea  of 
Galilee,  he  saw  Simon  and  Andrew  his 
brother  casting  a  net  into  the  sea:  for 
they  were  fishers. 

17  And  Jesus  said  untu  them. 
Come  ye  after  me,  and  I  will  make  you 
to  become  fishers  of  men. 

18  And  straightway  they  forsook 
their  nets,  and  followed  him. 

19  And  when  he  had  gone  a  little 
further  thence,  he  saw  James  the  son 
of  Zebedee,  and  John  his  brother,  who 
also  were  in  the  ship  mending  their 
nets. 

20  And  straightway  he  called  them: 
and  they  left  their  father  Zebedee  in 
the  ship  with  the  hired  servants,  and 
went  after  him. 

21  And  they  went  into  Capernaum; 
and  straightway  on  the  sabbath  day 
he  entered  into  the  synagogue,  and 
taught. 

22  And  they  were  astonished  at  his 
doctrine:  for  he  taught  them  as  one 
that  had  authority  and  not  as  the 
scribes. 

23  And  there  was  in  their  syna- 
gogue a  man  with  an  unclean  spirit; 
and  he  cried  out, 

24  Saying,  Let  us  alone;  what  have 
we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Jesus  of  Naz- 
areth? art  thou  come  to  destroy  us?  I 
know  thee  who  thou  are,  'bthe  Holy

25  And  Jesus  rebuked  him,  saying, 
Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out  of  him.

he  came  out  of  him. 

27  And  they  were  all  amazed,  inso- 
much that  they  questioned  among 
themselves,  saying.  What  thing  is  this? 
what  new  doctrine  is  this?  for  with 
authority  commandeth  he  even  the  un- 
clean spirits,  and  they  do  obey  him. 

28  And  immediately  his  fame 
spread  aoroad  throughout  all  the  re- 
gion  round   about   Galilee. 

29  And  forthwith,  when  they  were 
come  out  of  the  synagogue,  they  en- 
tered into  the  house  of  Simon  and  An- 
drew, with  James  and  John. 

30  But  Simon's  wife's  mother  lay 
sick  of  a  fever;  and  anon  they  tell 
him  of  her. 

31  And  he  came  and  took  her  by 
the  hand,  and  lifted  her  up;  and  iim- 
mediately  the  fever  left  her,  and  she 
ministered  unto  them. 

32  And  at  even,  when  the  sun  did 
set,  they  brought  unto  him  all  that 
were  diseased,  and  them  that  were  pos- 
sessed with  devils. 

33  And  all  the  city  was  gathered 
together  at  the  door. 

34  And  he  healed  many  that  were 
sick  of  divers  diseases,  and  cast  out 
many  devils;  and  suffered  not  the 
devils  to  speak;  because  they  knew 
him. 

35  And  in  the  morning,  rising  up 
a  great  while  before  day,  he  went  out, 
and  departed  into  a  solitary  place,  and 
there  prayed. 

36  And  Simon  and  they  that  were

I    forth. 

39  And  he  preached  in  their  syn- 
agogues tliroughout  all  Galilee,  and 
cast  out  devils. 

40  And  there  came  a  leper  to  him, 
beseeching  him,  and  kneeling  down  to 
him,  and  saying  unto  him,  klf  thou 
wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

41  And  Jesus,  moved  with  compas- 
sion, put  forth  his  hand,  and  touched 
him,  and  saith  unto  him,  I  will;  be 
thou  clean. 

42  And  as  soon  as  he  had  spoken, 
immediately  the  leprosy  departed  from 
him,  and  he  was  cleansed. 

43  And  he  straightly  charged  him, 
and  forthwith  sent  him  away; 

44  And  saith  unto  him.  See  thou 
say  nothing  to  any  man:  but  go  thy 
way,  shew  thyself  to  the  priest,  ana 
loffer  for  thy  cleansing  those  things 
which  Moses  commanded,  for  a  testi- 
mony unto  them. 

45  But  he  went  out,  and  began  to 
publish  it  much,  and  to  blaze  abroad 
the  matter,  insomuch  that  Jesus  could 
no  more  openly  enter  into  the  city,  but 
was  without  in  desert  places:  and  they 
came  to  him  from  every  quarter.

CHAPTER  II. 


Jesus  cured  paralytic.  14  He  called  Matthew- 
18  He  excused  his  disciples  from  fasting.  23 
Disciples  did  not  desecrate  the  law  by  plucldng 
ears  of  corn  on  the  Sabbath. 

1  And  again  he  entered  into  Ca- 
pernaum after  some  days;  and  it  was 
noised  that  he  was  in  the  house. 

2  And  straightway  many  were 
gathered  together,  insomuch  that 
there  was  no  room  to  receive  them,  no, 
not  so  much  as  about  the  door:  and 
he  preached  the  word  unto  them. 

3  And  they  come  unto  him,  bring- 
ing one  sick  of  the  palsy,  which  was 
borne  of  four. 

4  And  when  they  could  not  come 
nigh  unto  him  for  the  press,  they  un- 
covered the  roof  where  he  was:  and 
when  they  had  broken  it  up,  they  let 
down  the  bed  wherein  the  sick  of  the 
palsy  lay. 

5  When  Jesus  saw  their  faith,  he 
said  unto  the  sick  of  the  palsy.  Son, 
mthy  sins  be  forgiven  thee. 

6  But  there  were  certain  of  the 
scribes  sitting  there,  and  reasoning  in 
their  hearts, 

7  Why  doth  this  man  thus  speak 
blasphemies?  nwho  can  forgive  sins 
but  God  only?

shall  go  forth  out  of  the  camp;  and

uiiio  theiu,  Why  reason  ye  these 
things  within  your  hearts? 

9  Whether  it  is  easier  to  say  to  the 
sick  of  the  palsy.  Thy  sins  be  forgiven 
thee:  or  to  say,  Arise,  and  take  up  thy 
bed,  and  walk? 

10  But  that  ye  may  know  tliat  the 
Son  of  man  hath  power  on  earth  to 
forgive  sins,  (he  saith  to  the  sick  of 
the  palsy.)

up  the  bed,  and  went  forth  before  them

amazed,  and  glorified  God,  saying,  We

sus sat  at  meat  in  his  house,  many 
publicans  and  sinners  sat  also  together 
with  Jesus  and  his  disciples;  for  there 
were  many,  and  they  followed  him. 

IG  And  when  qthe  scribes  and 
Pharisees  saw  him  eat  with  publicans 
and  sinners,  they  said  unto  his  dis- 
ciples. How  is  it  that  he  eateth  and 
drinketh  with  publicans  and  sinners? 

17  When  Jesus  heard  it,  he  saith 
unto  them.  They  that  are  whole  have 
no  need  of  the  physician  but  they  that 
are  sick:  I  came  not  to  cali  the  right- 
eous,  but  sinners  to   repentance. 

18  rAnd  the  disciples  of  John  and 
of  the  Pharisees  used  to  fast:  and  they 
come  and  say  unto  him.  Why  do  the 
disciples  of  John  and  of  the  Pharisees 
last,  but  thy  disciples  fast  not? 

19  And  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Can 
the  children  of  the  bridechamber  fast, 
while  the  bridegroom  is  with  them?  as 

hungry,  and  that  thou  bring  the  poor 
that  are  cast  out  to  thy  house?  when 
thou  seest  the  naked,  that  thou  cover 
him;  and  that  thou  hide  not  thyself 
from  thine  own  flesh? 

8  Then  shall  thy  light  break  forth 
as  the  morning,  and  thine  health  shall 
spring  forth  speedily:  and  thy  right- 
eousness shall  go  before  thee;  the  glory 
of  the  Lord  shall  be  thy   rearward. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  call,  and  the

he  shall  say.  Here  I  am.  If  thou  take 
away  from  the  midst  of  thee  the  yoke,

1  And  he  entered  again  into  the 
synagogue;  and  there  was  a  man  there 
which  had  a  withered  hand. 

2  And  they  watched  him,  whether 
he  would  heal  him  on  the  sabbath  day; 
that  they  might  accuse  him. 

3  And  he  saith  unto  the  man  whicli 
had  the  withered  hand,  Stand  forth. 

4  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Is  it  law- 
ful to  do  good  on  the  sabbath  days,  or 
to  do  evil?  to  save  life,  or  to  kill?  But 
they  held  their  peace. 

5  And  when  he  had  looked  round 
about  on  them  with  anger,  being 
grieved  for  the  hardness  of  their 
hearts,  he  saith  unto  the  man,  Stretch 
forth  thine  hand.  And  he  stretched 
it  out:  and  his  hand  was  restored 
whole  as  the  other. 

6  And  the  Pharisees  went  forth, 
and  straightway  took  counsel  with  the

might   destroy  him.

great  things  he  did,  came  unto  him.

a  small  shii)  should  wait  on  him  be- 
cause of  the  multitude,  lest  they  should 
throng  him. 

10  For  he  had  healed  many;  inso- 
much that  they  pressed  upon  him  for 
to  touch  him,  as  many  as  had  plagues. 

11  And  unclean  spirits,  when  they 
saw  him,  fell  down  before  him,  and 
cried,  saying,  wThou  art  the  Son  of 
God. 

12  And  he  straightly  charged  them 
that  they  should  not  make  him  known.

and  calleLh  unto  him  whom  he  would: 
and  they  came  unto  him.

might  send  them  forth  to  preach,

nesses, and  to  cast  out  devils:

and  John  the  brother  of  James;  and

betrayed  him:  and  they  went  into  a

much  as  eat  bread.

tlshing  to  prepare  for  the  ministry :  fourth,  they 
were  ordained  as  stated  above :  tif  th.  they  were 
sent  out  to  i^reach  (See  Matthew  x). 


21  And  when  his  friends  heard  of 
it,  they  went  out  to  lay  hold  on  him: 
for  they  said,  He  is  beside  himself. 

22  And  the  scribes  which  came 
down  from  Jerusalem  said,  He  hath 
lieelzebui),  and  by  the  prince  of  the 
devils  casteth  he  out  devils. 

23  And  he  called  them  unto  him, 
and  said  unto  them  in  parables,  How 
can    Satan    cast    out    Satan? 

24  And  if  a  kingdom  be  divided 
against  itself,  that  kingdom  cannot 
stand. 

25  And  if  a  house  be  divided 
against  itself,  that  house  cannot  stand. 

26  And  if  Satan  rise  up  against 
himself,  and  be  divided,  he  cannot 
stand,  but  hath  an  end. 

27  yNo  man  can  enter  into  a  strong 
man's  house,  and  spoil  his  goods,  ex- 
cept he  will  first  bind  the  strong  man, 
and  then  he  will  spoil  his  house. 

28  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  All  sins 
shall  be  forgiven  unto  the  sons  of  men, 
and  blasphemies  wherewith  soever  they 
shall  blaspheme: 

29  But  he  that  shall  blaspheme 
against  the  Holy  Ghost  hath  never  for- 
giveness, but  is  in  danger  of  eternal 
damnation: 

30  Because  they  said,  He  hath  an 
unclean  spirit. 

31  There  came  then  his  brethren 
and  his  mother,  and,  standing  without, 
sent  unto  him,  calling  him. 

32  And  the  multitude  sat  about  him, 
and  they  said  unto  him.  Behold,  thy 
mother  and  thy  brethren  without  seek 
for  thee. 

33  And  he  answered  them,  saying, 

his  counsellors,  Did  not  we  cast  three 
men  bound  into  the  midst  of  the  fire? 
They  answered  and  said  unto  the  king. 
True,  O  king. 

25  He  answered  and  said.  Do,  I  see 
four  men  loose,  walking  in  the  midst 
of  the  fire,  and  they  have  no  hurt;  and 
the  form  of  the  fourth  is  like  the  Son

the  seaside:  and  there  was  gathered 
unto  him  a  great  multitude,  so  that  he 
entered  into  a  ship,  and  sat  in  the 
sea;  and  the  whole  multitude  was  by 
the  sea  on  the  land. 

2  And  he  taught  them  many  things 
by  parables,  and  said  unto  them  in  his 
doctrine, 

3  Hearken;  Behold,  there  went  out 
a  sower  to  sow: 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sowed, 
some  fell  by  the  wayside,  and  the 
fowls  of  the  air  came  and  devoured  it 
up. 

5  And  some  fell  on  stony  ground, 
where  it  had  not  much  earth;  and  im- 
mediately it  sprang  up,  because  it  had 
no  depth  of  earth: 

6  But  when  the  sun  was  up,  it  was 
scorched;  and  because  it  had  no  root, 
it  withered  away.

it  yielded  no  fruit. 

8  And  other  fell  on  good  ground, 
and  did  yield  fruit  that  sprang  up  and 
increased,  and  brought  forth,  some 
thirty,  and  some  sixty,  aand  some  a 
hundred. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  He  that 
hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

10  And  when  he  was  alone,  they 
that  were  about  him  with  the  twelve 
basked  of  him  the  parable. 

11  And  he  said  unto  them.  Unto 
you  it  is  given  to  know  the  mystery  of 
the  kingdom  of  God:  but  unto  them 
that  are  v/ithout,  all  these  things  are 
done  in  parables: 

12  cThat  seeing  they  may  see,  and 
not  perceive;  and  hearing  th«y  may 
hear,  and  not  understand;  lest  at  any 
time  they  should  be  converted,  and 
their  sins  should  be  forgiven  them. 

13  And  he  said  unto  them.  Know  ye 
not  this  parable?  and  how  then  will  ye 
know  all  parables? 

14  The  sower  soweth  the  word. 

15  And  these  are  they  by  the  way 
side,  where  the  word  is  sown;  but 
when  they  have  heard,  dSatan  cometh 
immediately,  and  taketh  away  the  word

who,  when  they  have  hoard  the  word, 
immediately  receive  it  with  gladness; 

17  And  have  fno  root  in  them- 
selves, and  so  endure  but  for  a  time: 
afterward,  when  aflliction  or  persecu- 
tion ariseth  for  the  word's  sake,  imme- 
diately they  are  offended. 

18  And  these  are  they  which  are 
sown  among  thorns;  such  as  hear  the 
word , 

l!t  And  the  care.s  of  this  world,  and 
gthe  deceitfulness  of  riches,  and  the 
lusts  of  other  things  entering  in, 
choke  the  word,  and  it  becometh  un- 
fruitful. 

20  And  these  are  they  which  are 
sown  on  good  ground;  such  as  hear 
the  word,  and  receive  it,  and  bring 
forth  fruit,  some  thirtyfold,  some 
si.\ty,  and  some  a  hundred. 

21  And  he  said  unto  them.  Is  a  can- 
dle brought  to  be  put  under  a  bushel, 
or  under  a  bed?  and  not  to  be  set  on 
a  candlestick? 

22  For  there  is  nothing  hid,  which 
shall  not  be  manifested;  neither  was 
there  anything  kept  secret,  but  that  it 
should  come  abroad. 

23  If  any  man  have  ears  to  hear,  let 
him  hear. 

24  And  he  said  unto  them.  Take 
heed  what  ye  hear.  With  what  meas- 
ure ye  mete,  it  shall  be  measured  to 
you;  and  unto  you  that  hear  shall  more 
be  given.

him  shall  be  taken  even  that  which  he 
hath. 

26  And  he  said.  So  is  the  kingdom 
of  God,  as  if  a  man  should  cast  seed 
into  the  ground; 

27  And  should  sleep,  and  rise  night 
and  day,  and  the  seed  should  spring 
and  grow  up,  he  knoweth  not  how. 

28  For  the  earth  bringeth  forth 
fruit  of  herself;  first  the  blade,  then  the 
ear,  after  that  the  full  corn  in  the  ear. 

29  But  when  the  fruit  is  brought 
forth,  immediately  he  putteth  in  the 
sickle,  because  the  harvest  is  come. 

30  And  he  said,  Whereunto  shall  we 
liken  the  kingdom  of  God,  or  with 
what  comparison  shall  we  compare  it? 

31  It  is  like  a  grain  of  mustard 
seed,  which,  when  it  is  sown  in  the 
earth,  is  less  than  all  the  seeds  that 
be  in  the  earth: 

32  But  when  it  is  sown,  hit  groweth 
up,  and  becometh  greater  than  all 
herbs,  and  shooteth  out  great  branches; 
so  that  the  fowls  of  the  air  may  lodge 
under  the  shadow  of  it. 

33  And  with  many  such  parables 
spake  he  the  word  unto  them,  as  they 
were  able  to  hear  it. 

34  But  without  a  parable  spake  he 
not  unto  them:  and  when  they  were 
alone,  he  expounded  all  things  to  his 
disciples. 

35  And  ithe  same  day,  when  the

19  Howbeit  Jesus  suffered  him 
not,  but  saith  unto  him.  Go  home  to 
thy  friends,  and  tell  them  how  great 
things  the  Lord  hath  done  for  thee, 
and  hath  had  compassion  on  thee. 

20  And  he  departed,  and  dbegan  to 
publish  in  Decapolis  how  great  things 
Jesus  had  done  for  him:  and  all  men 
(lid   marvel. 

21  And  when  Jesus  was  passed 
over  again  by  ship  unto  the  other 
side,  emuch  people  gathered  unto 
him;   and  he  was  nigh  unto  the  sea. 

22  And,  behold,  there  cometh  one 
of  the  rulers  of  the  synagogue,  Jairus 
by  name;  and  when  he  saw  him,  he 
fell  at  his  feet. 

23  And  besought  him  greatly, 
saying.  My  little  daughter  lieth  at  the 
point  of  death:  I  pray  thee,  come  and 
lay  thy  hands  on  her,  that  she  may 
be    healed;    and    she    shall    live.

much  people  followed  him,  and 
thronged   him.

ruler  of  the  synagogue.  Be  not  afraid, 
only  believe. 

37  And  he  sulYored  no  man  to  fol- 
low him,  save  Peter,  and  James,  and 
John    the    brother   of   James. 

38  And  he  cometh  to  the  house  of 
the  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  and  seeth 
the  tumult,  and  them  that  wept  and 
wailed   greatly. 

39  And  when  he  was  come  In,  he 
saith  unto  them.  Why  make  ye  this 
ado,  and  weep?  the  damsel  is  not 
dead,  but  sleepeth. 

40  And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn. 
But  when  he  had  put  them  all  out,  he 
taketh  the  father  and  the  mother  of 
the  damsel,  and  them  that  were  with 
him,  and  entereth  in  where  the  dam- 
sel was  lying. 

41  And  he  took  the  damsel  by  the 
hand,  and  said  unto  her,  Talitha  cumi; 
which  is,  being  interpreted.  Damsel, 
(I  say  unto  thee,)  jarise.

arose,  and  walked;  for  she  was  of  the

taken  up  out  of  the  den,  and  no  man-

Zoar. 


1  And  he  went  out  from  thence,  and 
came  into  his  own  country;  and  his 
disciples  follow  him. 

2  And  when  the  sabbath  day  was 
come,  he  began  to  teach  in  the  syna- 
gogue: and  many  hearing  him  were 
astonished,  saying.  From  whence  hath 
this  man  these  things?  and  what  wis- 
dom is  this  which  is  given  unto  him, 
that  even  such  mighty  works  are 
wrought  by  his  hands? 

3  Is  not  this  the  carpenter,  the  son 
of  Mary,  the  brother  of  James,  and  Jo- 
ses,  and  of  Judas,  and  Simon?  and  are 
not  his  sisters  here  with  us?  And  they 
were  offended  at  him. 

4  But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  A  pro- 
phet is  not  without  honour,  but  in  his 
own  country,  and  among  his  own  kin, 
and  in  his  own  house. 

5  cAnd  he  could  there  do  no  mighty 
work,  save  that  he  laid  his  hands  upon 
a  few  sick  folk,  and  healed  them. 

6  dAnd  he  marvelled  because  of 
their  unbelief.  And  he  went  round 
about  the  villages,  teaching. 

7  And  he  called  unto  him  the 
twelve,  and  began  to  send  them  forth 
by  two  and  two;  and  gave  them  power 
over  unclean  spirits; 

8  And  commanded  them  that  they 
should  take  nothing  for  their  journey, 
save  a  staff  only;  no  scrip,  no  bread, 
no  money  in  their  purse: 

9  But  be  shod  with  sandals;  and 
not  put  on  two  coats.

and  all  the  plain,  and  all  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  cities,  and  that  which 
grew  upon  the  ground.

that  men  should  repent. 

13  And  they  cast  out  many  devils, 
and  anointed  with  oil  many  that  were 
sick,  and  healed  them. 

14  And  king  Herod  heard  of  him; 
(for  his  name  was  spread  abroad;) 
and  he  said,  That  John  the  Baptist 
was  risen  from  the  dead,  and  there-

15  Others  said,  That  it  is  Elijah. 
And  others  said.  That  it  is  a  prophet, 
or  as  one  of  the  prophets. 

16  But  when  Herod  heard  thereof, 
he  said,  It  is  John,  whom  I  beheaded: 
he   is  risen  from   the   dead. 

17  For  Herod  himself  had  sent 
forth  and  laid  hold  upon  John,  and 
bound  nim  in  prison  for  Herodias' 
sake,  his  brother  Philip's  wife;  for  he 
had   married  her.

to  David,  Thou  art  the  man.  [Who 
have  committed  the  crime  of  adultery,

of  death.] 


18  For  John  had  said  unto  Herod, 
fit  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have  thy 
brother's  wife. 

19  Therefore  Herodias  had  a  quar- 
rel against  him,  and  would  have  killed 
him;   but  she  could  not: 

20  For  Herod  feared  John,  knowing 
that  he  was  a  just  man  and  a  holy,  and 
observed  him;  and  when  he  heard  him, 
he  did  many  things,  and  heard  him 
gladly. 

21  And  when  a  convenient  day  was 
come,  that  gHerod  on  his  birthday 
made  a  supper  to  his  lords,  high  cap- 
tains,  and   chief  estates   of   Galilee; 

22  And  when  the  daughter  of  the 
said  Herodias  came  in,  and  danced, 
and  pleased  Herod  and  them  that  sat 
with  him,  the  king  said  unto  the  dam- 
sel. Ask  of  me  whatsoever  thou  wilt, 
and  I  will   give   it  thee.

unto  her  mother.  What  shall  I  ask?

as  sheep  that  have  not  a  shepherd:  and 
the  Lord  said.  These  have  no  master: 
let  them  return  every  man  to  his  house 
in  peace. 

JEKEMIAH  XXIII:  1  Woe  be  unto 
the  pastors  that  destroy  and  scatter 
the  sheep  of  my  pasture!  saith  the 
Lord. 

2  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel  against  the  pastors  that  feed 
my  people;  Ye  have  scattered  my  flock, 
and  driven  them  away,  and  have  not 
visited  them:  behold,  I  will  visit  upon 
you  the  evil  of  your  doings,  saith  the 
Lord. 

JEREMIAH  1:6  My  people  hath 
been  lost  sheep:  their  shepherds  have 
caused  them  to  go  astray,  they  have 
turned  them  away  on  the  mountains: 
they  have  gone  from  mountain  to  hill, 
they  have  forgotten  their  resting  place.

EZEKIEL  XXXIV:  1  And  the  word

unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God

done,    and    what    they    had    taught. 

31  And  he  said  unto  them.  Come  ye 
yourselves  apart  into  a  desert  place, 
and  rest  a  while:  for  there  were  many 
coming  and  going,  and  they  had  no 
leisure  so  much  as  to  eat. 

32  And  they  departed  into  a  desert 
place  by  ship  privately. 

33  And  the  people  saw  them  depart- 
ing, and  many  knew  him,  and  ran  afoot 
thither  out  of  all  cities,  and  outwent 
them,  and  came  together  unto  him. 

34  And  Jesus,  when  he  came  out, 
saw  much  people,  and  was  moved  with 
compassion  toward  them,  because  they 
were  as  sheep  not  having  a  hshepherd: 
and  he  began  to  teach  them  many 
things. 

3  Ye  eat  the  fat,  and  ye  clothe  you 
with  the  wool,  ye  kill  them  that  are 
fed:   but  ye  feed  not  the  flock. 

4  The  diseased  have  ye  not 
strengthened,  neither  have  ye  healed 
that  which  was  sick,  neither  have  ye 
bound  up  that  which  was  broken,  nei- 
ther have  ye  brought  again  that  which 
was  driven  away,  neither  have  ye 
sought  that  which  was  lost;  but  with 
force  and  with  cruelty  have  ye  ruled 
them. 

5  And  they  were  scattered,  because 
there  is  no  shepherd:  and  they  became 
meat  to  all  the  beasts  of  the  field,  when 
they  were  scattered. 

6  My  sheep  wandered  through  all 
the  mountains,  and  upon  every  higii 
hill:  yea,  my  flock  was  scattered  upon 
all  the  face  of  the  earth,  and  none  did 
search  or  seek  after  them. 

7  Therefore,  ye  shepherds,  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord; 

8  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  because  my  flock  became  a  prey, 
and  my  flock  became  meat  to  every 
beast  of  the  field,  because  there  was  no 
shepherd,  neither  did  my  shepherd.s 
search  for  my  flock,  but  the  shepherds 
fed  themselves,  and  fed  not  my  flock;

35  And  when  the  day  was  now  far 
spent,  his  disciples  came  unto  him,  and 
said,  This  is  a  desert  place,  and  now 
the  time  is  far  passed: 

36  Send  them  away,  that  they  may 
go  into  the  country  round  about,  and 
into  the  villages,  and  buy  themselves 
bread:  for  they  have  nothing  to  eat. 

37  He  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Give  ye  them  to  eat.  And  they  say 
unto  him,  iShall  we  go  and  buy  two 
hundred  pennyworth  of  bread,  and  give 
them  to  eat? 

38  He  saith  unto  them,  How  many 
loaves  have  ye?  go  and  see.  And  when 
they  knew,  they  say,  Five,  and  two 
fishes. 

39  And  he  commanded  them  to 
make  all  sit  down  by  companies  upon 
the  green  grass. 

40  And  they  sat  down  in  ranks,  by 
hundreds,  and  by  fifties. 

41  And  when  he  had  taken  the  five 
loaves  and  the  two  fishes,  he  looked 
up  to  heaven,  and  Jblessed,  and  brake 
the  loaves,  and  gave  them  to  his  dis- 
ciples to  set  before  them;  and  the  two 
fishes  divided  he  among  them  all. 

42  And  they  did  all  eat,  and  were 
filled. 

43  And  they  took  up  twelve  baskets 
full  of  the  fragments,  and  of  the 
fishes. 

44  And    they    that    did    eat   of   the 

deliver  my  fiock  from  their  mouth,  that 
they  may  not  be  meat  for  them. 

11  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Behold,  I,  even  I,  will  both  search  my 
sheep,  and  seek  them  out. 

12  As  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his 
fiock  in  the  day  that  he  is  among  his 
sheep  that  are  scattered;  so  will  I  seek 
out  my  sheep,  and  will  deliver  them 
out  of  all  places  where  they  have  been 
scattered  in  the  cloudy  and  dark  day. 

NUMBERS  xi:13  iWhence  should  I 
have  flesh  to  give  unto  all  this  people? 
for  they  weep  unto  me,  saying,  Give 
us  flesh,  that  we  may  eat. 

22  Shall  the  flocks  and  the  herds 
be  slain  for  them,  to  suffice  them?  or 


loaves  were  about  five  thousand  men. 

45  And  straightway  he  constrained 
his  disciples  to  get  into  the  ship,  and 
to  go  to  the  other  side  before  unto 
Bethsaida,  while  he  sent  away  the  peo- 
ple. 

46  And  when  he  had  sent  them 
away,  he  departed  into  a  mountain  to 
pray. 

47  And  when  even  was  come,  the 
ship  was  in  the  midst  of  the  sea,  and 
he  alone  on  the  land. 

48  And  he  saw  them  toiling  in 
rowing;  for  the  wind  was  contrary 
unto  them:  and  about  the  fourth  watch 
of  the  night  he  cometh  unto  them, 
walking  upon  the  sea,  and  would  have 
passed  by  them. 

49  But  when  they  saw  him  walking 
upon  the  sea,  they  supposed  it  had  been 
a   spirit,   and   cried   out: 

50  For  they  all  saw  him,  and  were 
troubled.  And  immediately  he  talked 
with  them,  and  saith  unto  them.  Be 
of  good  cheer:    it  is  I;   be  not  afraid. 

51  And  he  went  up  unto  them  into 
the  ship;  and  the  wind  ceased:  and 
they  were  sore  amazed  in  themselves 
beyond  measure,  and  wondered. 

52  For  they  considered  not  the  mir- 
acles of  the  loaves;  for  their  heart  was 
hardened. 

53  And  when  they  had  passed  over, 
they   came   into  the   land  of   Gennes- 

shall  all  the  fish  of  the  sea  be  gathered 
together  for  them,  to  suffice  them? 

IL  KINGS  iv:43  And  his  servitor 
said.  What,  should  I  set  this  before  a 
hundred  men?  He  said  again.  Give  the 
people,  that  they  may  eat:  for  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  They  shall  eat,  and 
shall  leave  thereof. 

44  So  he  set  it  before  them,  and  they 
did  eat,  and  left  thereof,  according  to 
the  word  of  the  Lord. 

I.  SAMUEL  ix:13  lAs  soon  as  ye  be 
come  into  the  city,  ye  shall  straight- 
way find  him,  before  he  go  up  to  the 
high  place  to  eat:  for  the  people  will 
not  eat  until  he  come,  because  he  doth 
bless  the  sacrifice;  and  afterwards  they

aret,  and  drew  to  the  shore. 

54  And  when  they  were  come  out  of 
the  ship,  straightway  they  knew  him, 

55  And  ran  through  that  whole 
region  round  about,  and  began  to  carry 
about  in  beds  those  that  were  sick, 
where  they  heard  he  was. 

56  And  whithersoever  he  entered, 
into  villages,  or  cities,  or  country,  they 
laid  the  sick  in  the  streets,  and  be- 
sought him  that  they  might  touch  if  it 
were  but  the  border  of  his  garment: 
and  as  kmany  as  touched  him  were 
made  whole. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

The  Pharisees  comijlain  of  the  disciiJles  for 
eatint;  with  unwashen  hands.  M  They  brealt 
the  commandment  by  their  traditions.  14  It  is 
not  meat  but  men's  words  that  detile  them.  24 
Jesus  healed  the  daughter  of  a  Canuanitish 
woman. 

1  Then  came  together  unto  him  the 
Pharisees,  and  certain  of  the  scribes, 
which  came  from  Jerusalem. 

2  And  when  they  saw  some  of  his 
disciples  eat  bread  with  defiled,  that  is 
to  say,  with  unwashen  hands,  they 
found  fault. 

3  For  the  Pharisees,  and  all  the 
Jews,  except  they  wash  their  hands  oft, 
eat  not,  holding  the  tradition  of  the 
elders. 

4  And  when  they  come  from  the 
market,  except  they  wash,  they  eat  not. 

eat  that  oe  bidden.  Now  therefore  get 
you  up;  for  about  this  time  ye  shall 
find  him. 

PSALM  ciii:2  kBless  the  Lord.  O 
my  soul,  and  forget  not  all  his  bene- 
fits: 

3  Who  forgiveth  all  thine  iniqui- 
ties; who  healeth  all  thy  diseases; 

ISAIAH  xxix:13  iWherefore  the 
Lord  said.  Forasmuch  as  this  people 
I  draw  near  me  with  their  mouth,  and 
,  with  their  lips  do  honour  me.  but  have 
removed  their  heart  far  from  me,  and 
their  fear  toward  me  is  taught  by  the 
precept  of  men: 

14  Therefore,  behold,  1  will  proceed 
to  do  a  marvellous  work  among  this 
people,  even  a  marvellous  work  and  a 
wonder:  for  the  wisdom  of  their  wise 
men  shall  perish,  and  the  understand- 
ing of  their  prudent  men  shall  be  hid. 


And  many  other  things  there  be,  which 
they  have  received  to  hold,  as  the 
washing  of  cups,  and  pots,  brazen  ves- 
sels, and  of  tables. 

5  Then  the  Phari-sees  and  scribes 
asked  him,  Why  walk  not  thy  dis- 
ciples according  to  the  tradition  of  the 
elders,  but  eat  bread  with  unwashen 
hands? 

6  He  answered  an<l  said  unto  them, ' 
Well    hath    Isaiah    prophesied    of    you 
hypocrites,  as  it  is  written,  iThis  peo- 
ple honoureth  me  with  their  lips,  but 
their  heart  is  far  from  me. 

7  Howbeit  in  vain  do  they  worship 
me,    teaching   for    doctrines    the    com-i 
niandments  of  men. 

8  For  laying  aside  the  command- 
ment of  God,  ye  hold  the  tradition  of 
men,  as  the  washing  of  pots  and  cups: 
and  many  other  such  like  things  ye 
do. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them.  Full  well 
ye  reject  the  commandment  of  God, 
that  ye  may  keep  your  own  tradition. 

10  For  Moses  said,  mHonour  thy 
father  and  thy  mother;  and,  n Whoso 
cursest  father  or  mother,  let  him  die 
the  death: 

11  But  ye  say.  If  a  man  shall  say  to 
his  father  or  mother.  It  is  Corban,  that 

EXODUS  xx:12  mHonour  thy  fa- 
ther and  thy  mother:  that  thy  days 
may  be  long  upon  the  land  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

DEUTERONOMY  v:16  Honour  thy 
father  and  thy  mother,  as  the  Lord  thy 
God  hath  commanded  thee;  that  thy 
days  may  be  prolonged,  and  that  it 
may  go  well  with  thee,  in  the  land 
which  the  Lord   thy  God  giveth  thee. 

EXODUS  xxi:17  nAnd  he  that  curs- 
eth  his  father,  or  his  mother,  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death. 

LEVITICUS  xx:9  For  every  one 
that  cur.seth  his  father  or  his  mother 
shall  be  surely  put  to  death:  he  hath 
cursed  his  father  or  his  mother;  his

is  to  say,  a  gift,  by  whatsoever  thou 
mightest  be  profited  by  me;  he  shall 
be  free. 

12  And  ye  suffer  him  no  more  to  do 
aught  for  his  father  or  his  mother; 

13  Making  the  word  of  God  of  none 
effect  through  your  tradition,  which  ye 
have  delivered:  and  many  such  like 
things  do  ye. 

14  And  when  he  had  called  all  the 
people  unto  him,  he  said  unto  them, 
Hearken  unto  me  every  one  of  you,  and 
understand: 

15  There  is  nothing  from  without  a 
man,  that  entering  into  him  can  defile 
him:  but  the  things  which  come  out 
of  him,  those  are  they  that  defile  the 
man. 

16     If  any  man  have  ears  to  hear, 
let  him  hear. 

17  And  when  he  was  entered  into 
the  house  from  the  people,  his  dis- 
ciples asked  him  concerning  the  para- 
ble. 

18  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Are  ye 
so  without  understanding  also?  Do 
yo  not  perceive,  that  whatsoever  thing 
from  without  entereth  into  the  man,  it 
cannot  defile  him; 

19  Because  it  entereth  not  into  his 
heart,  but  into  the  belly,  and  goeth  out 
into  the  draught,  purging  all  meats? 

20  And  he  said.  That  which  cometh 
out  of  the  man,  that  defileth  the  man. 

21  oFor  from  within,  out  of  the 
heart  of  man  proceed  evil  thoughts, 
adulteries,  fornications,  murders, 

22  Thefts,  covetousness,  wicked- 
ness, deceit,  lasciviousness,  an  evil  eye, 
blasphemy,  pride,  foolishness: 

23  All  these  evil  things  come  from 
w;thin,  and  defile  the  man.

GENESIS  vi:5  oAnd  God  saw  that 
the  wickedness  of  man  was  great  in 
the  earth,  and  that  every  imagination 
of  the  thoughts  of  his  heart  was  only 
evil  continually. 

GENESIS     viii:21    And     the     Lord 


24  And  from  thence  he  arose,  and 
went  into  the  borders  of  Tyre  and 
Sidon,  and  entered  into  a  house,  and 
would  have  no  man  know  it:  but  he 
could  not  be  hid. 

25  For  a  certain  woman,  whose 
young  daughter  had  an  unclean  spirit, 
heard  of  him,  and  came  and  fell  at 
his  feet: 

26  The  woman  was  a  Greek,  a  Sy- 
rophenician  by  nation;  and  she  be- 
sought him  that  he  would  cast  forth. 
the  devil  out  of  her  daughter. 

27  But  Jesus  said  unto  her,  let  the 
children  first  be  filled:  for  it  is  not 
meet  to  take  the  children's  bread,  and 
to  cast  it  unto  the  dogs. 

28  And  she  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Yes,  Lord:  yet  the  dogs  under 
the  table  eat  of  the  children's  crumbs. 

29  And  he  said  unto  her.  For  this 
saying  go  thy  way;  the  devil  is  gone 
out  of  thy  daughter. 

30  And  when  she  was  come  to  her 
house,  she  found  the  devil  gone  out, 
and  her  daughter  laid  upon  the  bed. 

31  And  again,  departing  from  the 
coasts  of  Tyre  and  Sidon,  he  came  unto 
the  sea  of  Galilee,  through  the  midst 
of  the  coasts  of  Decapolis. 

32  And  they  bring  unto  him  one 
that  was  deaf,  and  had  an  impediment 
in  his  speech;  and  they  beseech  him  to 
put  his  hand  upon  him. 

33  And  he  took  him  aside  from  the 
multitude,  and  put  his  fingers  into  his 
ears,  and  he  spit,  and  touched  his 
tongue; 

34  And  looking  up  to  heaven,  he 
sighed,  and  saith  unto  him,  Ephpha- 
tha,  that  is,  Be  opened. 

35  pAnd  straightway  his  ears  were 

smelled  a  sweet  savour;  and  the  Lord 
said  in  his  heart,  I  will  not  again  curse 
the  ground  any  more  for  man's  sake; 
for  the  imagination  of  man's  heart  is 
evil  from  his  youth:  neither  will  1 
again  smite  any  more  everything  liv- 
ing, as  I  have  done.

opened,  and  the  string  of  his  tongue 
was  loosed,  and  he  spake  plain. 

36  And  he  charged  them  that  they 
should  tell  no  man:  but  the  more  he 
charged  them,  so  much  the  more  a 
great  deal  they  published  it; 

37  And  were  beyond  measure  as- 
tonished, saying.  He  hath  done  all 
things  well:  he  maketh  both  the  deaf 
to  hear,  and  the  dumb  to  speak.

influence  of  the  Phuri.seos  and  of  Hrrod.  22  He

dicts his  passion.    34    He  tautjht  self-denial. 

1  In  those  days  the  multitude  be- 
ing very  great,  and  having  nothing  to 
eat,  Jesus  called  his  disciples  unto  him. 
and  saith  unto  them, 

2  I  qhave  compassion  on  the  multi- 
tude, because  they  have  now  been  with 
me  three  days,  and  have  nothing  to 
eat: 

3  And  if  I  send  them  away  fasting 
to  their  own  houses,  they  will  faint 
by  the  way:  for  divers  of  them  came 
from  afar. 

4  And  his  disciples  answered  him, 
From  whence  rcan  a  man  satisfy  these 
men  with  bread  here  in  the  wilder- 
ness? 

ISAIAH  XXXV :  5  pThen  the  eyes  of 
the  blind  shall  be  opened,  and  the  ears 
of  the  deaf  shall  be  unstopped. 

6  Then  shall  the  lame  man  leap  as 
a  hart,  and  the  tongue  of  the  dumb 
sing:  for  in  the  wilderness  shall  waters 
break  out,  and  streams  in  the  desert.

man  from  Baal-shalishri,  and  brought 
the  man  of  God  bread  of  the  tirst-

ears  of  corn  in  the  husk  thereof.  And 
he  said.  Give  unto  the  peoi)le,  that  they 
may  eat. 

43  And  his  servitor  said.  What, 
should  I  set  this  before  a  iiundred  men? 
He  said   again.   Give   the  people,    that 


5  And  he  asked  them.  How  many 
loaves  have  ye?    And  they  said,  Seven. 

6  And  he  commanded  the  people  to 
sit  down  on  the  ground:  and  he  took 
the  seven  loaves,  and  sgave  thanks, 
and  brake,  and  gave  to  his  disciples  to 
set  before  them;  and  they  did  set  them 
before  the  people. 

7  And  they  had  a  few  small  fishes: 
and  he  blessed,  and  commanded  to  set 
them  also  before  them. 

8  So  they  did  eat,  and  twere  filled: 
and  they  took  up  of  the  broken  meat 
that  was  left  seven  baskets. 

9  And  they  that  had  eaten  were 
about  four  thousand:  and  he  sent  them 

away.  , 

10  And  straightway  he  entered  into 
a  ship  with  his  disciples,  and  came  In- 
to the  parts  of  Dalmanutha. 

11  And  the  Pharisees  came  forth, 
and  began  to  question  with  him,  seek- 
ing of  him  a  sign  from  heaven,  tempt- 
ing him. 

12  And  he  sighed  deeply  in  his  spir- 
it, and  saith.  Why  doth  this  genera- 
tion seek  after  a  sign?  verily  I  say  un- 
to you,  There  shall  no  sign  be  given 
to  this  generation. 

13  And  he  left  them,  and  entering 
into  the  ship  again  departed  to  the 
other  side.

They  shall  eat,  and  shall  leave  thereof.

14  Now  the  disciples  had  forgotten 
to  take  bread,  neither  had  they  in  the 
ship  with  them  more  than  one  loaf. 

15  And  he  charged  them,  saying. 
Take  heed,  beware  of  the  leaven  of  the 
Pharisees,  and  of  the  leaven  of  Herod. 

16  And  they  reasoned  among  them- 
selves, saying,  It  is  because  we  have 
no  bread. 

17  And  when  Jesus  knew  it,  he 
saith  unto  them.  Why  reason  ye,  be- 
cause ye  have  no  bi'ead?  perceive  ye 
not  yet,  neither  understand?  have  ye 
your  heart  yet  hardened? 

18  Having  ueyes,  see  ye  not?  and 
having  ears,  hear  ye  not?  and  do  ye 
not  remember? 

19  When  I  brake  the  five  loaves 
among  five  thousand,  how  many  bas- 
kets full  of  fragments  took  ye  up? 
They  say  unto  him.  Twelve. 

20  And  when  the  seven  among  four 
thousand,  how  many  baskets  full  of 
fragments  took  ye  up?  And  they  said, 
Seven. 

21  And  he  said  unto  them.  How  is 
it  that  ye  do  not  understand? 

22  And  he  cometh  to  Bethsaida; 
and  they  bring  a  blind  man  unto  him, 
and  besought  him  to  touch  him. 

23  And  he  took  the  blind  man  by 
the  hand,  and  led  him  out  of  the  town; 
and  when  he  had  spit  on  his  eyes,  and 
put  his  hands  upon  him,  he  asked  him 
if  he  saw  aught. 

24  And  he  looked  up,  and  said,  I  see 
men  as  trees,  walking. 

25  After  that  he  put  his  hands  again 
upon  his  eyes,  and  made  him  look  up; 
and  he  was  vrestored,  and  saw  every 
man  clearly. 

26  And  he  sent  him  away  to  his 
house,  saying,  Neither  go  into  the 
town,  nor  tell  it  to  any  in  the  town. 

27  And  Jesus  went  out,  and  his  dis- 

days  of  famine  they  shall  be  satisfied,

men  say  that  I  am? 

28  And  they  answered,  John  the

others,  One  of  the  prophets. 

29  And  he  saith  unto  them,  But 
whom  say  ye  that  I  am?  And  Peter 
answereth  and  saith  unto  him.  Thou 
art  the  Christ. 

30  And  he  charged  them  that  they 
should  tell  no  man  of  him. 

31  And  he  began  to  teach  them,  that 
the  Son  of  man  must  suffer  many 
things,  and  be  rejected  of  the  elders, 
and  of  the  chief  priests,  and  scribes, 
and  be  killed,  and  after  three  days  rise 
again. 

32  And  he  spake  that  saying  open- 
ly. And  Peter  took  him,  and  began  to 
rebuke  him. 

33  But  when  he  had  turned 
about  and  looked  on  his  dis- 
ciples, he  rebuked  Peter,  saying,  Get 
thee  behind  me,  Satan:  for  thou  sav- 
ourest  not  the  things  that  be  of  God, 
but  the  things  that  be  of  men. 

34  And  when  he  had  called  the  peo- 
ple unto  him  with  his  disciples  also, 
he  said  unto  them.  Whosoever  will 
come  after  me,  let  him  deny  himself, 
and  take  up  his  cross,  and  follow  me. 

35  For  whosoever  will  save  his  life 
chall  lose  it;  but  whosoever  shall  lose 
his  life  for  my  sake  and  the  gospel's, 
the  same  shall  save  it. 

36  For  what  shall  it  profit  a  man, 
if  he  shall  gain  the  whole  world,  and 
lose  his  own  soul? 

37  Or  what  shall  a  man  give  in  ex- 
change for  his  soul? 

38  Whosoever  therefore  shall  be 
'w  ashamed  of  me  and  of  my  words,  in 
this  adulterous  and  sinful  generation,

1  And  he  said  unto  them,  Verily  I 
say  nnto  you,  That  there  be  some  of 
them  that  stand  here,  which  shall  not 
taste  of  death,  till  they  have  seen  the 
kingdom  of  God  come  with  power. 

2  And  after  six  days  Jesus  taketh 
with  him  Peter,  and  James,  and  John, 
and  leadeth  them  up  into  a  high  moun- 
tain apart  by  themselves:  and  he  was 
transfigured  before  them. 

3  And  his  raiment  became  shining, 
exceeding  white  as  snow;  so  as  no  ful- 
ler on  earth  can  awhite  them. 

4  And  there  appeared  unto  them 
Elijah  with  Moses:  and  they  were  talk- 
ing with  Jesus. 

5  And  Peter  answered  and  said  to 
Jesus,  Master,  it  is  good  for  us  to  be 
here:     and    let    us    make    three    tab- 

the  blind  shall  be  opened. 

ISAIAH  lxvi:5  wHear  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  ye  that  tremble  at  his  word; 
Your  brethren  that  hated  you.  that 
cast  you  out  for  my  name's  sake,  said, 
Let  the  Lord  be  glorified:  but  he  shall 
appear  to  your  joy,  and  they  shall  be 
ashamed. 

JOEL  ii:27  And  ye  shall  know 
that  I  am  in  the  midst  of  Israel,  and 
that  I  am  the  Lord  your  God.  and 
none  else:  and  my  people  shall  never 
be  ashamed. 

DANIEL  vii:9  al  beheld  till  the 
thrones  were  cast  down,  and  the  .\n-

was  white  as  snow,  and  the  hair  o[ 
his  head  like  the  pure  wool:  his 
throne  was  like  the  fiery  flame,  and 
his  wheels  as  burning  fire.

6  For  he  wist  not  what  to  say;  for 
they  were  sore  afraid. 

7  And  there  was  ba  cloud  that  over- 
shadowed them:  and  a  voice  came  out 
of  the  cloud,  saying.  This  is  my  beloved 
Son:   hear  him. 

8  And  suddenly,  when  they  had 
looked  round  about,  they  saw  no  man 
any  more,  save  Jesus  only  with  them- 
selves. 

9  And  as  they  came  down  from  the 
mountain,  he  charged  them  that  they 
should  tell  no  man  what  things  they 
had  seen,  till  the  Son  of  man  were 
risen  from  the  dead. 

10  And  they  kept  that  saying  with 
themselves,  questioning  one  with  an- 
other what  the  rising  from  the  dead 
should  mean. 

11  And  they  asked  him,  saying. 
Why  say  the  scribes  cthat  Elijah  must 
first  come? 

12  And  he  answered  and  told  them, 
Elijah  verily  cometh  first,  and  restor- 
eth  all  things;  and  dhow  it  is  written 
of  the  Son  of  man,  that  he  must  suf-

because  the  cloud  abode  thereon,  and 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  taber- 
nacle.

and  no  man;  a  reproach  of  men,  and 
despised  of  the  people. 

ISAIAH  liii:2  For  he  [Jesus]  shall 
grow  up  before  him  as  a  tender  plant, 
and  as  a  root  out  of  a  dry  ground:  he 
hath  no  form  nor  comeliness;  and 
when  we  shall  see  him,  there  is  no 
beauty  that  we  should  desire  him.

fer  many  things,  and  be  set  at  nought. 

13  But  I  say  unto  you,  That  Elijah 
is  indeed  come,  and  they  have  done 
unto  him  whatsoever  they  listed,  as  it 
was  written  of  him. 

14  And  when  he  came  to  his  dis- 
ciples he  saw  a  great  multitude  about 
them,  and  the  scribes  questioning  with 
them. 

15  And  straightway  all  the  people, 
when  they  beheld  him,  were  greatly 
amazed,  and  running  to  him  saluted 
him. 

16  And  he  asked  the  scribes,  What 
question  ye  with  them? 

17  And  one  of  the  multitude  an- 
swered and  said.  Master,  I  have 
brought  unto  thee  my  son,  which  hath 
a  dumb  spirit; 

18  And  wheresoever  he  taketh  him, 
he  teareth  him;  and  he  foameth,  and 
gnasheth  with  his  teeth,  and  pineth 
away:  and  I  spake  to  thy  disciples  that 
they  should  cast  him  out;  and  they 
could  not. 

19  He  answereth  him,  and  saith,  O 
faithless  generation,  how  long  shall  I 
be  with  you?  how  long  shall  I  suffer 
you?  bring  him  unto  me. 

20  And  they  brought  hini  unto  him: 
and  when  he  saw  him,  straightway  the 
spirit  tare  him;  and  he  fell  on  the 
ground,  and  wallowed  foaming. 

21  And  he  asked  his  father.  How 
long  is  it  ago  since  this  came  unto  him? 
And  he  said.  Of  a  child. 

22  And  ofttimes  it  hath  cast  him  In- 
to the  fire,  and  into  the  waters,  to  de- 
stroy him:  but  if  thou  canst  do  any 
thing,  have  compassion  on  us,  and  help 
us. 

and  unto  the    end    of  the  war  desola- 
tions are  determined. 

ZECHARIAH  xiii:7  Awake,  O 
sword,  against  my  Shepherd,  and 
against  the  man  that  is  my  fellow, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  smite  the 
Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall  be  scat- 
tered: and  I  will  turn  my  hand  upon 
the  little  ones. 


23  Jesus  said  unto  him,  elf  thou 
canst  believe,  all  things  are  possible  to 
him  that  believeth. 

24  And  straightway  the  father  of 
the  child  cried  out,  and  said  with  tears, 
Lord,  I  believe;  help  thou  mine  unbe- 
lief. 

25  When  Jesus  saw  that  the  people 
came  running  together,  he  rebuked  the 
foul  spirit,  saying  unto  him,  Thou 
dumb  and  deaf  spirit,  I  charge  thee, 
come  out  of  him,  and  enter  no  more 
into  him. 

26  And  the  spirit  cried,  and  rent 
him  sore,  and  came  out  of  him:  and  he 
was  as  one  dead;  insomuch  that  many 
said.  He  is  dead. 

27  But  Jesus  took  him  by  the  hand, 
and  lifted  him  up;  and  he  arose. 

28  And  when  he  was  come  into  the 
house,  his  disciples  asked  him  private- 
ly, Why  could  not  we  cast  him  out? 

29  And  he  said  unto  them.  This 
kind  can  come  forth  by  nothing,  but 
by  prayer  and  fasting. 

30  And  they  departed  thence,  and 
passed  through  Galilee;  and  he  would 
not  that  any  man  should  know  it. 

31  For  he  taught  his  disciples,  and 
said  unto  them,  The  Son  of  man  is  de- 
livered into  the  hands  of  men,  and 
they  shall  kill  him;  and  after  that  he 
is  killed,  he  shall  rise  the  third  day. 

32  But  they  understood  not  that 
saying,  and  were  afraid  to  ask  him. 

33  And  he  came  to  Capernaum:  and 
being  in  the  house  he  asked  them. 
What  was  it  that  ye  disputed  among 
yourselves  by  the  way?

twelve,  and  saith  unto  them,  If  any 
man  desire  to  be  first,  the  same  shall 
be  last  of  all,  and  servant  of  all. 

36  And  he  took  a  child,  and  set  him 
in  the  midst  of  them:  and  when  he  had 
tai<en  him  in  his  arms,  he  said  unto 
them, 

37  Whosoever  shall  receive  one  of 
such  children  in  my  name,  receiveth 
me;  and  whosoever  shall  receive  me, 
receiveth  not  me,  but  him  that  sent 
me.

not  us;  and  we  forbade  him,  because 
he  followeth  not  us.

for  there  is  no  man  which  shall  do  a 
miracle  in  my  name,  that  can  lightly 
speak  evil  of  me. 

40  For  he  that  is  not  against  us  Is 
on  our  part.

danger  of  riches.  28  Rewards  for  those  who 
forsake  all  for  Christ  and  the  gospel.  33  He 
foretold  his  death  and  resurrection.  35  James 
and  John  ask  for  places  of  honor  in  Christ's 
kingdom.    46  He  gave  sight  to  blind  Bartimeus. 

1  And  he  arose  from  thence,  and 
cometh  into  the  coasts  of  Judsea  by 
the  farther  side  of  Jordan:  and  the 
people  resort  unto  him  again;  and,  as 
he  was  wont,  he  taught  them  again.

and  asked  him.  Is  it  lawful  for  a  man 
to  put  away  his  wife?     tempting  him.

them,  What  did  Moses  command  you?

to  write  a  bill  of  divorcement,  and  to 
put  her  away.

let  him  write  her  a  bill  of  divorce- 
ment, and  give  it  in  her  hand,  and 
send  her  out  of  his  house. 

2  And  when  she  is  departed  out  of 
his  house,  she  may  go  and  be  another 
man's  wife. 


7  mFor  this  cause  shall  a  man 
leave  his  father  and  mother,  and 
cleave  to  his  wife;

so  then  they  are  uo  more  twain,  out 
one  flesh. 

9  What  therefore  God  hath  joined 
together,  let  not  man  put  asunder. 

10  And  in  the  house  his  disciples 
asked  him  again  of  the  same  matter. 

11  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Who- 
soever shall  put  away  his  wife,  and 
marry  another,  committeth  adultery 
against  her. 

12  And  if  a  woman  shall  put  away 
her  husband,  and  be  married  to 
another,  she  committeth  adultery. 

13  And  they  brought  young  chil- 
dren to  him,  that  he  should  touch, 
them;  and  his  disciples  rebuked  those 
that  brought  them. 

14  But  when  Jesus  saw  it,  he  was 
much  displeased,  and  said  unto  them. 
Suffer  the  little  children  to  come  unto 
me,  and  forbid  them  not;  for  of  such 
is  the  kingdom  of  heaven.

19  Thou  knowest  the  command- 
ments, oDo  not  commit  adultery.  Do 
not  kill.  Do  not  steal.  Do  not  bear 
false  witness.  Defraud  not,  Honour 
thy  father  and  mother. 

20  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  Master,  all  these  have  I  observed 
from   my   youth. 

21  Then  Jesus  beholding  him  loved 
him,  and  said  unto  him.  One  thing 
thou  lackest:  go  thy  way,  sell  whatoo- 
ever  thou  hast,  and  give  to  the  pocjr, 
and  thou  shalt  have  treasure  in  heav- 
en: and  come,  take  up  the  cross,  and 
follow  me. 

22  And  he  was  sad  at  that  saying, 
and  went  away  grieved:  for  he  had 
great  possessions. 

23  And  Jesus  looked  round  about, 
and  saith  unto  his  disciples.  How 
hardly  shall  they  that  have  riches  en- 

EXODUS  xx:14  oThou  shalt  not 
commit  adultery. 

13     Thou  Shalt  not  kill. 

15  Thou  .shalt  not  steal. 

16  Thou  Shalt  not  bear  false  wit- 
ness against   thy  neighbour. 

17  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neigh- 
bour's house,  thou  shalt  not  covet  thy 
neighbour's  wife,  nor  his  manservant, 
nor  his  maidservant,  nor  his  ox,  nor 
his  ass,  nor  anything  that  is  thy 
neighbour's. 

12  Honour  thy  father  and  thy  moth- 
er: that  thy  days  may  be  long  ui)on 
the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giv- 
eth  thee. 

JOB  xxxi:24  pif  I  have  made  gold 
my  hope,  or  have  said  to  the  fine  gold. 
Thou  art  my  confidence: 

25  If  I  rejoiced  because  my  wealth 
was  great,  and  because  mine  hand  had 
gotten  much: 

26  If     I  beheld     the     sun     when  it 


ter  into  the  kingdom  of  God! 

24  And  the  disciples  were  astonished 
at  his  words.  But  Jesus  answereth 
again,  and  saith  unto  them,  Children, 
how  hard  is  it  for  them  pthat  trust  in 
riches  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of 
God! 

25  It  is  easier  for  a  camel  to  go 
through  the  eye  of  a  needle,  than  for 
a  rich  man  to  enter  into  the  kingdora 
of  God. 

26  And  they  were  astonished  out 
of  measure,  saying  among  themselves. 
Who  then  can  be  saved? 

27  And  Jesus  looking  upon  them 
saith.  With  men  it  is  impossible,  but 
not  with  God:  for  qwith  God  all  things 
are  possible. 

28  Then  Peter  began  to  say  unto 
him,  Lo,  we  have  left  all,  and  have 
followed  thee. 

29  And  Jesus  answered  and  said. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  There  is  no 
man  that  hath  left  house,  or  brethren, 
or  sisters,  or  father,  or  mother,  or 
wife,  or  children,  or  lands,  for  my 
sake,  and  the  gospel's. 

30  rBut  he  shall  receive  a  hundred- 
fold now     in     this     time,  houses,  and 

shined,     or     the     moon     walking     in 
brightness; 

27  And  my  heart  hath  been  secret- 
ly enticed,  or  my  mouth  hath  kissed 
my  hand: 

28  This  also  were  an  iniquity  to 
be  punished  by  the  judge:  for  I  should 
have  denied  the  God  that  is  above. 

PSALM  Hi: 7  Lo,  this  is  the  man 
that  made  not  God  his  strength;  but 
trusted  in  the  abundance  of  his  riches, 
and  strengthened  himself  in  his  wick- 
edness.

sion, and  become  not  vain  in  robbery: 
if  riches  increase,  set  not  your  heart 
upon  them.

31  But  many  that  are  first  shall  be 
last;   and  the  last  first. 

32  And  they  were  in  the  way  going 
up  to  Jerusalem;  and  Jesus  went  be- 
fore them:  and  they  were  amazed; 
and  as  they  followed,  they  were 
afraid.  And  he  took  again  the  twelve, 
and  began  to  tell  them  what  things 
should  happen  unto  him, 

33  Saying,  Behold,  we  go  up  to  Je- 
rusalem; and  the  Son  of  man  shall  be 
delivered  unto  the  chief  priests,  and 
unto  the  scribes;  and  sthey  shall  con- 
demn him  to  death,  and  shall  deliver 
him  to  the  Gentiles: 

34  And  they  shall  mock  him,  and 
shall  tscourge  him,  and  shall  spit  up- 
on him,  and  shall  kill  him;  and  the 
third  day  he  snail  rise  again. 

35  And  James  and  John,  the  sons 
of  Zebedee,  come  unto  him,  saying, 
Master,  we  would  that  thou  shouldest 
do  for  us  whatsoever  we  shall  desire. 

36  And  he  said  unto  them.  What 
would  ye  that  I  should  do  for  you? 

37  They  said  unto  him,  Grant  unto 
us  that  we  may  sit,  one  uon  thy  right 
hand,  and  the  other  on  thy  left  hand, 
in  thy  glory. 

38  But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Ye 
know  not  what  ye  ask:  can  ye  drink 
of  the  cup  that  I  drink  of?  and  be 
baptized  with  the  baptism  that  I  am 
baptized  with? 

aziah  said  to  the  man  of  God,  But 
what  shall  we  do  for  the  hundred  tal- 
ents which  I  have  given  to  the  army 
of  Israel?  And  the  man  of  God  an- 
swered.  The  Lord  is  able  to  give  thee 
much  more  than  this. 

ISAIAH  liii:7  sHe  is  brought  as  a 
lamb  to  the  slaughter. 

ISAIAH  1:6  tl  gave  my  back  to  the 
smiters,  and  my  cheeks  to  them  that 
plucked  off  the  hair:  I  hid  not  my  face 
from  shame  and  spitting. 


39  And  they  said  unto  him.  We  can. 
And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Ye  shall 
indeed  drink  of  the  cup  that  I  drink 
of;  and  with  the  baptism  that  I  am 
baptized  withal  shall  ye  be  baptized: 

40  But  to  sit  on  my  right  hand  and 
on  my  left  hand  is  not  mine  to  give; 
but  it  shall  be  given  to  them  for  whom 
it  is  prepared. 

41  And  when  the  ten  heard  it, 
they  began  to  be  much  displeased  with 
James  and  John. 

42  But  Jesus  called  them  to  him, 
and  saith  unto  them.  Ye  know  that 
they  which  are  accounted  to  rule  over 
the  Gentiles  exercise  lordship  over 
them;  and  their  great  ones  exercise 
authority  upon  them. 

43  But  so  shall  it  not  be  among 
you:  but  whosoever  will  be  great 
among  you,  shall  be  your  minister: 

44  And  whosoever  of  you  will  be 
the  chiefest,  shall  be  servant  of  all. 

45  For  even  the  Son  of  man  came 
not  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to  min- 
ister, and  to  give  his  life  a  ransom 
for  many. 

46  And  they  came  to  Jericho:  and  as 
he  went  out  of  Jericho  with  his  disci- 
ples and  a  great  number  of  people, 
blind  Bartimeus,  the  son  of  Timeus, 
sat  by  the  highway  side  begging. 

47  And  when  he  heard  that  it  was 
Jesus  of  Nazareth,  he  began  to  cry 
out,  and  say,  Jesus,  thou  vSon  of  Da- 
vid, have  mercy  on  me.

the  more  a  great  deal.  Thou  Son  of 
Uavid,  have  mercy  on  me. 

49  And  Jesus  stood  still,  and  com- 
manded him  to  be  called.  And  they 
call  the  blind  man.  saying  unto  him. 
He  of  good  comfort,  rise;  he  caileth 
thee. 

50  And  he.  casting  away  his  gar- 
ment, rose,  and  came  to  Jesus. 

51  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  him.  What  wilt  thou  that  I 
should  do  unto  thee?  The  blind  man 
said  unto  him.  Lord,  that  I  might  re- 
ceive my  sight.

thy  way;  thy  faith  hath  made  thee

hath  need  of  him;  and  straightway  he 
will  send  him  hither. 

4  And  they  went  their  way,  and 
found  the  colt  tied  by  the  door  with- 
out in  a  place  where  two  ways  met; 
and  they  loose  him. 

5  And  certain  of  them  that  stood 
there  said  unto  them.  What  do  ye, 
loosing  the  colt? 

6  And  they  said  unto  them  even 
as  Jesus  had  commanded:  and  they 
let  them  go. 

7  And  they  brought  the  colt  to  Je- 
sus, and  cast  their  garments  on  him; 
and  ahe  sat  upon  him. 

8  And  many  spread  their  garments 
in  the  way;  and  others  cut  down 
branches  off  the  trees,  and  strewed 
them  in  the  way. 

9  And  they  that  went  before,  and 
they  that  followed,  cried,  saying,  bHo- 
sanna;  Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord:

he  had  looked  round  about  upon  all 
things,  and  now  the  eventide  was 
come,  he  went  out  unto  Bethany  with 
the  twelve.

having  leaves,  he  came,  if  haply  he 
might  find  any  thing  thereon:  and 
when  he  came  to  it,  he  found  nothing 
but  leaves;  for  the  time  of  figs  was 
not  yet. 

14  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  it.  No  man  eat  fruit  of  thee  here- 
after forever.  And  his  disciples  heard 
it. 

15  And  they  come  to  Jerusalem: 
and  Jesus  went  into  the  temple,  and 
began  to  cast  out  them  that  sold  and 
bought  in  the  temple,  and  overthrew 
the  tables  of  the  money  changers, 
and  the  seats  of  them  that  sold  doves; 

16  And  would  not  suffer  that  any 
man  should  carry  any  vessel  through 
the  temple. 

17  And  he  taught,  saying  unto 
them,  Is  it  not  written,  dMy  house 
shall  be  called  of  all  nations  a  house 
of  prayer?  but  eye  have  made  it  a 
den  of  thieves. 

18  And  the  scribes  and  chief 
priests  heard  it,  and  sought  how  they 
might  destroy  him:  for  they  feared 
him,  because  all  the  people  was  as- 
tonished at  his  doctrine. 

19  And  when  even  was  come,  he 
went  out  of  the  city. 

20  And  in  the  morning,  as  they 
passed  by,  they  saw  the  fig  tree  dried 
up  from  the  roots. 

21  And  Peter  calling  to  remem- 
brance saith  unto  him.  Master,  be- 
hold, the  fig  tree  which  thou  cursedst 
is  withered  away. 

22  And  Jesus  answering  saith  unto 
them.  Have  faith  in  God. 

23  For  verily  I  say  unto  you.  That

them  joyful  in  my  house  of  prayer:

rifices shall  be  accepted  upon  mine  al- 


in  his  heart,  but  shall  believe  that 
those  things  which  he  saith  shall 
come  to  pass;  he  shall  have  whatso- 
ever he  saith. 

24  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  "What 
things  soever  ye  desire,  when  ye  pray, 
believe  that  ye  receive  them,  and  ye 
shall  have  them. 

25  And  when  ye  stand  praying, 
forgive,  if  ye  have  ought  against  any; 
that  your  Father  also  which  is  in 
heaven  may  forgive  you  your  tres- 
passes. 

26  But  if  ye  do  not  forgive,  neith- 
er will  your  Father  which  is  in  heav- 
en forgive  your  trespasses. 

27  And  they  come  again  to  Jerusa- 
lem: and  as  he  was  walking  in  the 
temple,  there  come  to  him  the  chief 
priests,  and  the  scribes,  and  the  el- 
ders, 

28  And  say  unto  him.  By  what  au- 
thority doest  thou  these  things?  and 
who  gave  thee  this  authority  to  do 
these  things? 

29  And  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  I  will  also  ask  of  you  one 
question,  and  answer  me,  and  I  will 
tell  you  by  what  authority  I  do  these

palorniiy  of  Christ.  41  The  i)oor  widows  two 
miles. 

1  And  he  began  to  speak  unto  them 
by  parables.  A  certain  man  planted  a 
fvineyard,  and  set  a  hedge  about  it, 
and  digged  a  place  for  the  winefat. 
and  built  a  tower,  and  let  it  out  to 
husbandmen,  and  went  into  a  far 
country. 

2  And  at  the  season  he  sent  to  the 
husbandmen  a  servant,  that  he  might 
receive  from  the  husbandmen  of  the 
fruit  of  the  vineyard. 

Z  And  they  caught  him,  and  beat 
him,  and  sent  him  away  empty. 

4  And  again  he  sent  unto  them  an- 
other servant;  and  at  him  they  cast 
stones,  and  wounded  him  in  the  head, 
and  sent  him  away  shamefully 
handled. 

5  And  again  he  sent  another;  and 
him  they  killed,  and  many  others; 
gbeating  some,  and  killing  some. 

6  Having  yet  therefore  one  son,  his 
well  beloved,  he  sent  him  also  last  un- 
to them,  saying.  They  will  reverence 
my  son. 

7  But  those  husbandmen  said 
among  themselves,     This  is  the  heir; 

even  I  have  seen  it,  saith  the  Lord. 

ISAIAH  V:l  fNow  will  I  sing  to 
my  well  beloved  a  song  of  my  beloved 
touching  his  vineyard.  My  well  be- 
loved hath  a  vineyard  in  a  very  fruit- 
ful hill: 

2  .And  he  fenced  it,  and  gathered 
out  the  stones  thereof,  and  planted  it 
with  the  choicest  vine,  and  built  a 
tower  in  the  midst  of  it,  and  also  made 
a  winepress  therein:  and  he  looked 
that  it  should  bring  forth  grapes,  and 
it  brought  forth  wild  grapes. 

7  For  the  vineyard  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  is  the  house  of  Israel,  and  the 
men  of  Judah  his  pleasant  plant:  and 
he  looked  for  judgment,  but  behold  op- 
pression; for  righteousness,  but  behold 
&  cry. 


come,  let  us  kill  him,  ami  the  inheri- 
tance shall  be  ours. 

8  And  they  took  him,  and  killed 
him,  and  cast  him  out  of  the  vineyard. 

y  What  shall  therefore  the  lord  of 
the  vineyard  do?  he  will  come  and 
destroy  the  husbandmen,  and  will 
give  the  vineyard  unto  others. 

10  And  have  ye  not  read  this  Scrip-' 
ture;    hThe   stone   which   the  builders 
rejected  is  become  the  head  of  the  cor- 
ner: 

11  This  was  the  Lord's  doing,  and 
it  is  marvellous  in  our  eyes? 

12  And  they  sought  to  lay  hold  on 
him,  but  feared  the  people;  for  they 
knew  that  he  had  spoken  the  parable 
against  them:  and  they  left  him,  and 
went  their  way. 

13  And  they  send  unto  him  certain 
of  the  Pharisees  and  of  the  Herodians, 
to  catch  him  in  his  words. 

14  And  when  they  were  come,  they

Caesar,  or  not?

they  mocked  the  messengers  of  God

there   was   no   remedy.

16  And  they  brought  it.  And  he 
saith  unto  them,  Whose  is  this  image 
and  superscription?  And  they  say 
unto  him,  Cassar's. 

17  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
them,  Render  to  Cffisar  the  things 
that  are  Caesar's,  and  to  Gqd  the 
things  that  are  God's.  And  they  mar- 
velled at  him. 

18  Then  come  unto  him  the  Saddu- 
cees, which  say  there  is  no  resurrec- 
tion;  and  they  asked  him,  saying, 

19  Master,  iMoses  wrote  unto  us.  If 
a  man's  brother  die,  and  leave  his  wife 
behind  him,  and  leave  no  children,  that 
his  brother  should  take  his  wife,  and 
raise  up  seed  unto  his  brother. 

20  Now  there  were  seven  brethren: 
and  the  first  tooli  a  wife,  and  dying 
left  no  seed. 

21  And  the  second  took  her,  and 
died,  neither  left  he  any  seed:  and 
the  third  likewise. 

22  And  the  seven  had  her,  and  left 
no  seed:  last  of  all  the  woman  died 
also. 

23  In  the  resurrection  therefore, 
when  they  shall  rise,  whose  wife  shall 
she  be  of  them?  for  the  seven  had  her 
to  wife. 

24  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
them.  Do  ye  not  therefore  err,  because 

DEUTERONOMY  xxv:5  iff  breth- 
ren  dwell  together,  and  one  of  them 
die,  and  have  no  child,  the  wife  of  the 
dead  shall  not  marry  without  unto  a 
stranger:  her  husband's  brother  shall 
go  in  unto  her,  and  take  her  to  him 
to  wife,  and  perform  the  duty  of  a 
husband's  brother  unto  her. 

6  And  it  shall  be,  that  the  first- 
born which  she  beareth  shall  succeed 
in  the  name  of  his  brother  which  is 
dead,  that  his  name  be  not  put  out  of 
Israel. 

DANIEL  xii:2  JAnd  many  of  them

some  to  shame  and  everlasting  con- 
tempt. 


ye  know  not  Jthe  Scriptures,  neither 
the  power  of  God? 

25  For  when  they  shall  rise  from 
the  dead,  they  neither  marry,  nor  are 
given  in  marriage;  but  are  as  the  an- 
gels which  are  in  heaven. 

2G  And  as  touching  the  dead,  that 
they  rise;  have  ye  not  read  in  the 
book  of  Moses,  how  in  the  bush  God 
spake  unto  him,  saying,  kl  am  the  God 
of  Abraham,  and  the  God  of  Isaac,  and 
the  God  of  Jacob? 

27  He  is  not  the  God  of  the  dead, 
but  the  God  of  the  living:  ye  therefore 
do  greatly  err. 

28  And  one  of  the  scribes  came,  and 
having  heard  them  reasoning  to- 
gether, and  perceiving  that  he  had  an- 
swered them  well,  asked  him.  Which 
is  the  first  commandment  of  all? 

29  And  Jesus  answered  him.  The 
first  of  all  the  commandments  is, 
iHear,  O  Israel;  The  Lord  our  God  is 
one  Lord: 

30  And  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord 
thy  God  with  all  thy  heart,  and  with 
all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind, 
and  with  all  thy  strength:  this  is  the 
first  commandment. 

31  And  the  second  is  like,  namely 
this,  niThou  Shalt  love  thy  neighbour 
as  thyself.  There  is  none  other  com- 
mandment greater   than   these. 

32  And   the   scribe   said   unto   him, 

EXODUS  iii:6  kMoreover  he  said, 
I  am  the  God  of  thy  father,  the  God  of 
Abraham,  the  God  of  Isaac,  and  the 
God  of  Jacob.  And  Moses  hid  his 
face;  for  he  was  afraid  to  look  upon 
God.

rael:  The  Lord  our  God  is  one  Lord: 

5  And  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy 
God  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with  all 
thy    soul,    and   with   all    thy   might. 

6  And  these  words,  which  I  com- 
mand thee  this  day,  shall  be  in  thine 
heart:

Well,  Master,  thou  hast  said  tho  truth: 
for  there  is  one  Clod,  lumd  there  is 
none  other  but  he: 

33  And  to  love  him  with  all  the 
heart,  and  with  all  the  understanding, 
and  with  all  the  soul,  and  with  all  the 
strength,  and  to  love  his  neighbour  as 
himself,  ois  more  than  all  whole  burnt

34  And  when  Jesus  saw  that  he  an- 
swered discreetly,  he  said  unto  him, 
Thou  art  not  far  from  the  kingdom  of 
God.  And  no  man  after  that  durst 
ask  him  any  question. 

35  And  Jesus  answered  and  said, 
while  he  taught  in  the  temple.  How 
say  the  scribes  that  Christ  is  the  sou 
of  David? 

36  For  David  himself  said  pby  the

Ixjrd,  Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand,  till 
I    make    thine    enemies    thy    footstool.

ISAIAH  xlv:6  That  they  may  know 
from  the  rising  of  the  sun,  and  from 
the  west,  that  there  is  none  besides 
me.  I  am  the  Lord,  and  there  is  none 
else. 

ISAIAH  xlvi:9  Remember  the  for- 
mer things  of  old:  for  I  am  God,  and 
there  is  none  else;  I  am  God,  and 
there   is   none   like   me.

and  to  hearken  than  the  fat  of  rams.

38  And  he  said  unto  them  in  his 
doctrine.  Beware  of  the  scribes,  which 
love  to  go  in  long  clothing,  and  love 
salutations   in    the   market   places, 

39  And  the  chief  seats  in  the  syn- 
agogues, and  the  uppermost  rooms  at 
feasts: 

40  Which  devour  widow's  houses, 
and  for  a  pretence  make  long  prayers: 
these  shall  receive  greater  damnation, 

41  And  Jesus  sat  over  against  the 
treasury,  and  beheld  how  the  people 
cast  money  rinto  the  treasury:  and 
many  that  were  rich  cast  in  much. 

42  And  there  came  a  certain  poor 
widow,  and  she  threw  in  two  mites, 
which  make  a  farthing. 

43  And  he  called  unto  him  his  dis- 
ciples, and  saith  unto  them.  Verily  1 
say  unto  you.  That  this  poor  widow 
hath  cast  more  in,  than  all  they  which 
have  cast  into  the  treasury: 

44  For  all  they  did  cast  in  of  their 
abundance;  but  she  of  her  want  did 
cast  in  all  that  she  had,  seven  all  her 
living.

7  Will  the  Lord  be  pleased  with 
thousands  of  rams,  or  with  ten  thou- 
sands of  rivers  of  oil?  Shall  I  give  my 
firstborn  for  my  transgression,  the 
fruit  of  my  body  for  the  sin  of  my 
soul? 

8  He  hath  shewed  thee,  O  man,  what 
is  good;  and  what  doth  the  Lord  re- 
quire of  thee,  but  to  do  justly,  and  to

Jerusalem  Foretold. 


CHAPTER  XIII. 

Christ  foretells  the  destruction  of  Jerusalem. 
14    He  foretells  the  signs  of  the  second  coming. 

1  And  as  he  went  out  of  the  tem- 
ple, one  of  his  disciples  saith  unto 
him,  Master,  see  what  manner  of 
stones  and  what  buildings  are  here! 

2  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
him,  Seest  thou  these  great  buildings? 
there  shall  not  be  left  one  stone  upon 
another,  that  shall  not  be  thrown 
down. 

3  And  as  he  sat  upon  the  mount  of 
Olives,  over  against  the  temple,  Peter 
and  James  and  John  and  Andrew  asked 
him  privately, 

4  Tell  us,  when  shall  these  things 
be?  and  what  shall  be  the  sign  when 
all  these  things  shall  be  fulfilled? 

5  And  Jesus  answering  them  began 
to  say,  aTake  heed  lest  any  man  de- 
ceive you: 

6  For  many  shall  come  in  my  name, 
saying,  I  am  Christ;  and  shall  deceive 
many.

and  rumors  of  wars,  be  ye  not  troub- 
led: for  such  things  must  needs  be, 
bbut  the  end  shall  not  be  yet.

and  there  shall  be  earthquakes  in  div-

the  Lord  of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel; 
Let  not  your  prophets  and  your  divin- 
ers, that  be  in  the  midst  of  you,  deceive 
you,  neither  hearken  to  your  dreams 
which   ye  cause  to   be  dreamed. 

9  For  they  prophesy  falsely  unto 
you  in  my  name:  I  have  not  sent 
them,  saith  the  Lord. 

JEREMIAH  iv:27  bFor  thus  hath 
the   Lord   said.   The   whole  land  shall 


ers  places,  and  there  shall  be  famines 
and  troubles:  these  are  the  beginnings 
of  sorrows. 

9  But  take  heed  to  yourselves:  for 
they  shall  deliver  you  up  to  councils; 
and  in  the  synagogues  ye  shall  be 
beaten:  and  ye  shall  be  brought  be- 
fore rulers  and  kings  for  my  sake,  for 
a  testimony  against  them. 

10  And  the  gospel  must  first  be 
published   among   all   nations. 

11  But  when  they  shall  lead  you, 
and  deliver  you  up,  take  no  thought 
beforehand  what  ye  shall  speak, 
neither  do  ye  premeditate:  but  what- 
soever shall  be  given  you  in  that  hour, 
that  speak  ye:  for  it  is  not  ye  that 
speak,  but  the  Holy  Ghost. 

12  Now  cthe  brother  shall  betray 
the  brother  to  death,  and  the  father 
the  son;  and  children  shall  rise 
up  against  their  parents,  and  shall 
cause  them  to  be  put  to  death. 

13  And  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  men 
for  my  name's  sake:  but  dhe  that  shall 
endure  unto  the  end,  the  same  shall 
be  saved. 

14  But  when  ye  shall  see  the 
abomination  of  desolation,  espoken  of 
by  Daniel  the  prophet,  standing  where 
it  ought  not,  (let  him  that  readeth  un- 
derstand,)  then  let  them  that    be    in 

be  desolate;  yet  will  I  not  make  a 
full  end. 

JEREMIAH  v:10  Go  ye  up  upon 
her  walls,  and  destroy;  but  make  not 
a  full  end:  take  away  her  battlements; 
for  they  are  not  the  Lord's. 

11  For  the  house  of  Israel  and  the 
house  of  Judah  have  dealt  very  treach-

taking  a  far  journey,  who  .  left  his 
house,  and  gave  authority  to  his  serv- 
ants, and  to  every  man  his  work,  and 
commanded  the  porter  to  watch. 

35  Watch  ye  therefore:  for  ye  know 
not  when  the  master  of  the  house 
Cometh,  at  even,  or  at  midnight,  or  at 
the  cockcrowing,   or  in  the  morning:

you  sleeping.

unto  all.  Watch.

eiples  to  prepare  the  passover.  22  Jesus  in- 
stituted the  Lords  Supper.  2t5  Jesus  with  his 
disciples  went  into  the  Mount  of  Olives.  Judas 
came  with  a  band  who  took  Jesus,  and  led  him. 
to  the  high  priest. 

1  After  two  days  was  the  feast  of 
jthe  passover,  and  of  unleavened 
bread:  and  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  sought  how  they  might  take 
him  by  craft,  and  put  him  to  death. 

2  But  they  said,  Not  on  the  feast 
day,  lest  there  be  an  uproar  of  the 
people. 

3  And  being  in  Bethany,  in  the 
house  of  Simon  the  leper,  as  he  sat  at 
meat,  there  came  a  woman  having  an 
alabaster  box  of  ointment  of  spikenard 
very  precious;  and  she  brake  the  box, 
and  poured  it  on  his  head. 

4  And  there  were  some  that  had 
indignation  within  themselves,  and 
said,  Why  was  this  waste  of  the  oint- 
ment made? 

5  For  it  might  have  been  sold  for 
more  than  three  hundred  pence,  and 
have  been  given  to  the  poor.  And 
they  murmured  against  her. 

6  And  Jesus  said.  Let  her  alone; 
why  trouble  ye  her?  she  hath  wrought 
a  good  work  on  me. 

7  For  kye  have  the  poor  with  you 
always,  and  whensoever  ye  will  ye 
may  do  them  good:  but  me  ye  have 
not  always. 

8  She  hath  done  what  she  could: 
she  is  come  aforehand  to  anoint  my 
body  for  the  burying. 

9  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Whereso- 
ever this  gospel  shall  be  preached 
throughout  the  whole  world,  this  also 
that  she  hath  done  shall  be  spoken  of 
for  a  memorial  of  her.

were  glad,  and  promised  to  give  him

silver. 

13  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Cast 
it  unto  the  potter:  a  goodly  price  that 
I  was  prized  at  of  them.  And  I  took

16  And  his  disciples  went  forth, 
and  came  into  the  city,  and  found  as 
he  had  said  unto  them:  and  they  made 
ready  the  passover. 

17  And  in  the  evening  he  cometh 
with  the  twelve. 

18  And  as  they  sat  and  did  eat,  Je- 
sus said.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  One  of 
you  which  eateth  with  me  shall  betray 
me. 

19  And  they  began  to  be  sorrow- 
ful, and  to  say  unto  him  one  by  one. 
Is  it  I?  and  another  said.  Is  it  I? 

20  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  It  is  one  of  the  twelve,  that  dip-

gave     to  them,     and     said,  Take,  eat; 
this  is  my  body. 

23  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  when 
he  had  given  thanks,  he  gave  it  to 
them:  and  they  all  drank  of  it. 

24  And  he  said  unto  them.  This  is 
my  blood  of  the  new  testament,  which 
is  shed  for  many. 

25  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  will 
drink  no  more  of  the  fruit  of  the  vine, 
until  that  day  that  I  drink  it  new  in 
the  kingdom  of  God. 

26  And  when  they  had  sung  a 
hymn,  they  went  out  into  the  mount 
of  Olives. 

27  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  All 
ye  shall  be  offended  because  of  me 
this  night:  for  it  is  written,  ql  will 
smite  the  Shepherd,  and  the  sheep 
shall  be  scattered. 

28  But  after  that  I  am  risen,  I  will 
go  before  you  into  Galilee. 

29  But  Peter  said  unto  him,  Al- 
though all  shall  be  offended,  yet  will 
not  I. 

30  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Verily 
I  say  unto  thee.  That  this  day,  even 
in  this  night,  before  the  cock  crow 
twice,  thou  shall  deny  me  thrice. 

31  But  he  spake  the  more  vehe- 
mently. If  I  should  die  with  thee,  I 
will  not  deny  thee  in  any  wise.  Like- 
wise also  said  .they  all. 

32  And  they  came  to  a  place  which 
was  named  Gethsemane:  and  he  saith 
to  his  disciples.  Sit  ye  here,  while  I 
shall  pray. 

33  And  he  taketh  with  him  Peter 
and  James  and  John,  and  began  to  be 
sore  amazed,  and  to  be  very  heavy; 

34  And  saith  unto  them,  My  soul 
is  exceeding  sorrowful  unto  death: 
tarry  ye  here,  and  watch. 

9  Let  his  children  be  fatherless, 
and  his  wife  a  widow.

35  And  he  went  forward  a  little, 
and  fell  on  the  ground,  and  prayed 
that,  if  it  were  possible,  the  hour 
might  pass  from  him. 

36  And  he  said,  Abba,  Father,  all 
things  are  possible  unto  thee;  take 
away  this  cup  from  me:  nevertheless, 
not  what  I  will,  but  what  thou  wilt. 

37  And  he  cometh,  and  findeth  them 
sleeping,  and  saith  unto  Peter,  Simon, 
sleepest  thou?  couldest  not  thou  watch 
one  hour? 

38  Watch  ye  and  pray,  lest  ye  en^ 
ter  into  temptation.  The  spirit  truly 
is  ready,  but  the  flash  is  weak. 

39  And  again  he  went  away,  and 
prayed,  and  spake  the  same  words. 

40  And  when  he  returned,  he  found 
them  asleep  again,  (for  their  eyes  were 
heavy,)  neither  wist  they  what  to  an- 
swer him. 

41  And  he  cometh  a  third  time,  and 
saith  unto  them.  Sleep  on  now,  and 
take  your  rest:  it  is  enough,  the  hour 
is  come;  behold,  the  Son  of  man  is  be- 
trayed into  the  hands  of  sinners. 

42  Rise  up,  let  us  go;  lo,  he  that 
betrayeth  me  is  at  hand. 

43  And  immediately,  while  he  yet 
spake,  cometh  Judas,  one  of  the 
twelve,  and  with  him  a  great  multi- 
tude with  swords  and  staves,  from 
the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes  and 
the  elders. 

44  And  he  that  betrayed  him 
had  given  them  a  token,  saying. 
Whomsoever  I  shall  kiss,  that  same 
is  he;  take  him,  and  lead  him  away 
safely. 

45  And  as  soon  as  he  was  come,  he 
goeth  straightway  to  him,  and  saith. 
Master,    Master;    and   rkissed   him. 

saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  smite  the 
Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall  be  scat- 
tered: and  I  will  turn  mine  hand  upon 
the  little  ones.

drew  a  sword,  and  smote  a  servant  of 
the  high  priest,  and  cut  off  his  ear.

unto  them.  Are  ye  come  out,  as

Answerest  thou  nothing?  what  is  it 
which  these  witness  against  thee? 

61  But  vhe  held  his  peace,  and  an-

him  with  the  palms  of  their  hands. 

66  And  as  Peter  was  beneath  in  the 
palace,  there  cometh  one  of  the  maids 
of  the  high  priest: 

■  67  And  when  she  saw  Peter  warm- 
ing himself,  she  looked  upon  him,  and 
said.  And  thou  also  wast  with  Jesus 
of  Nazareth. 

68  But  he  denied,  saying,  I  know 
not,  neither  understand  I  what  thou 
sayest.  And  he  went  out  into  the 
porch;  and  the  cock  crew. 

69  And  a  maid  saw  him  again,  and 
began  to  say  to  them  that  stood  by. 
This  is  one  of  them. 

70  And  he  denied  it  again.  And 
a  little  after,  they  that  stood  by  said 
again  to  Peter,  Surely  thou  art  one  of 
them:  for  thou  art  a  Galilean,  and  thy 
speech  agreeth  thereto. 

71  But  he  began  to  curse  and  to 
swear,  saying,  I  know  not  this  man 
of  whohi  ye  speak. 

72  And  the  second  time  the  cock 
crew.  And  Peter  called  to  mind  the 
word  that  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Before 
the  cock  crow  twice,  thou  shalt  deny 
me  thrice.  And  when  he  thought 
thereon,  he  wept. 

CHAPTER  XV. 

Jesus  brought  before  Pilate.  15  Barabbas 
was  liberated,  and  Jesus  scourged  to  be  cruci- 
fied. 26  His  accusation  was  written  over  him, 
viz.,  THE  KING  OP  THE  JEWS.  27  Thieves 
were  crucitied  on  either  side  of  him.  39  The 
centurion  confessed  that  he  was  the  Son  of 
God.  42  Joseph  of  Arimathea  prepared  the 
body  and  laid  it  in  a  B8)julchre. 

1  And  astraightway  in  the  morning 
the  chief  priests  held  a  consultation 
with  the  elders  and     scribes  and  the 

from  shame  and  spitting. 

'PSALMS  ii:2  aThe  kings  of  the

and  he  was  afflicted,  yet  he  opened  not 
his  mouth:  he  is  brought  as  a  lamb 
to  the  slaughter,  and  as  a  sheep  before 


whole  council,  and  bound  Jesus,  and 
carried  him  away,  and  delivered  him 
to  Pilate. 

2  And  Pilate  asked  him,  Art  thou 
the  King  of  the  Jews?  And  he 
answering  said  unto  him.  Thou  sayest 
it. 

3  And  the  chief  priests  accused 
him  of  many  things;  but  he  answered 
nothing. 

4  And  Pilate  asked  him  again,  say- 
ing, Answerest  thou  nothing?  behold 
how  many  things  they  witness  against 
thee. 

5  bBut  Jesus  yet  answered  nothing; 
so  that  Pilate  marvelled. 

6  Now  at  that  feast  he  released  un- 
to them  one  prisoner,  whomsoever 
they  desired. 

7  And  there  was  one  named  Barab- 
bas, which  lay  bound  with  them  that 
had  made  insurrection  with  him,  who 
had  committed  murder  in  the  insur- 
rection. 

8  And  the  multitude  crying  aloud 
began  to  desire  him  to  do  as  he  had 
ever  done  unto  them. 

9  But  Pilate  answered  them,  say- 
ing. Will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you 
the  King  of  the  Jews? 

10  For  he  knew  that  the  chief 
priests  had  delivered  him  for  envy. 

11  But  the  chief  priests  moved  the 
people,  that  he  should  rather  release 
Barabbas  unto  them. 

12  And  Pilate  answered  and  said 
again  unto  them.  What  will  ye  then 
that  I  shall  do  unto  him  whom  ye  call 
the  cKing  of  the  Jews?

Jesus  Crucitled 


14  Then  Pilate  said  unto  them. 
Why,  what  evil  hath  he  done?  And 
they  cried  out  the  more  exceedingly, 
Crucify  him. 

15  And  so  JPilate,  willing  to  con- 
tent the  people,  released  Uarabbas  un- 
to them,  and  delivered  Jesus,  when  he 
had  scourged  him.  to  be  crucified. 

16  And  the  soldiers  led  him  away 
into  the  hall,  called  Pretorium;  and 
they   called   together  the   whole  band, 

17  And  they  clothed  him  with  pur- 
ple, and  platted  a  crown  of  thorns,  and 
put  it  about  his  head. 

18  And  began  to  salute  him,  Hail, 
King  of  the  Jews! 

19  And  ethey  smote  him  on  the 
head  with  a  reed,  and  did  spit  upon 
him,  and  bowing  their  knees  wor- 
shipped him. 

20  And  when  they  had  mocked 
him.  they  took  off  the  purple  from 
him,  and  put  his  own  clothes  on  him, 
and  led  him  out  to  crucify  him. 

21  And  they  compel  one  Simon  a 
Cyrenian,  who  passed  by,  coming  out 
of  the  country,  the  father  of  Alexan- 
der and  Rufus,  to  bear  his  cross. 

22  And  they  bring  him  unto  the 
place  Golgotha,  which  is.  being  inter- 
preted. The  place  of  a  skull. 

23  And     fthey     gave  him  to  drink, 

and  Israel  shall  dwell  safely:  and  this 
is  his  name  whereby  he  shall  be 
called.  THE  LORD  OUR  RIGHTEOUS-

24  And  when  they  had  crucified 
him,  Kthey  parted  his  garments,  cast- 
ing lots  upon  them,  what  every  man 
should  take. 

25  And  it  was  the  third  hour,  and 
they  crucified  him. 

26  And  the  superscription  of  his  ac- 
cusation was  written  over,  THE  KING 
OF  THE  JEWS. 

27  And  with  him  they  crucify  two 
thieves;  the  one  on  his  right  hand, 
and  the  other  on  his  left. 

28  And  the  Scripture  was  fulfilled, 
which  saith,  iiAnd  he  was  numbered 
with  the  transgressors. 

29  And  ithey  that  passed  by  railed 
on  him,  wagging  their  heads,  and  say- 
ing. Ah,  thou  that  destroyest  the  tem- 
ple, and  buildest  it  in  three  days, 

30  jSave  thyself,  and  come  down 
from  the  cross. 

31  Likewise  also  the  chief  priests 
mocking  said  among  themselves  with 
the  scribes,  He  saved  others;  himself 
he  cannot  save. 

32  Let  Christ  the  King  of  Israel  de- 
scend now  from  the  cross. that  we  may 
see  and  believe.  And  they  that  were 
crucified  with  him  reviled  him. 

33  And   when  the  ksixth  hour  was 

divide  him  a  portion  with  the  great, 
and  he  shall  divide  the  spoil  with  the 
strong;  because  he  hath  poured  out 
his  soul  unto  death:  and  he  was  num- 
bered with  the  transgressors;  and  he 
bare  the  sin  of  many,  and  made  inter- 
cession for  the  transgressors.

him.  seeing  he  delighted  in  him.

come,     there   was     darkness  over  the 
whole  land  until  the  ninth  hour. 

34  And  at  the  ninth  hour  Jesus 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying,  lEloi, 
Eloi,  lama,  sabachthani?  which  is,  be- 
ing interpreted.  My  God,  My  God,  why 
hast  thou  forsaken  me? 

35  And  some  of  them  that  stood 
by,  when  they  heard  it,  said,  Behold, 
he  calleth  Elijah. 

36  And  one  ran  and  filled  a  sponge 
mfull  of  vinegar,  and  put  it  on  a  reed, 
and  gave  him  to  drink,  saying.  Let 
alone;  let  us  see  whether  Elijah  will 
come  to  take  him  down.

voice,  and  gave  up  the  ghost.

rent  in  twain  from  the  top  to  the  bot-

stood  over  against  him,  saw  that  he 
so  cried  out,  and  gave  up  the  ghost, 
he  said.  Truly  this  man  was  the  Son 
of  God.

on  oafar  off:  among  whom  was  Mary 
Magdalene,  and  Mary  the  mother  of 
James  the  less  and  of  Joses,  and  Sa-

for  the  kingdom  of  God,  came,  and 
went  in  boldly  unto  Pilate,  and  craved 
the  body  of  Jesus. 

44  And  Pilate  marvelled  if  he  were 
already  dead:  and  calling  unto  him 
the  centurion,  he  asked  him  whether 
he  had  been  any  while  dead. 

45  And  when  he  knew  it  of  the 
centurion,  he  gave  the  body  to  Joseph. 

46  And  he  bought  fine  linen,  and 
took  him  down,  and  wrapped  him  in 
the  linen,  and  plaid  him  in  a  sepul- 
chre which  was  hewn  out  of  a  rock, 
and  rolled  a  stone  unto  the  door  of 
the  sepulchre.

CHAPTER  XVL 

Women  visit  the  sepulchre  Sunday  morning. 
5  An  an^el  informed  them  that  Jesus  was  risen. 
9  He  first  appeared  to  Mary  Magdalene.  12  He 
appeared  to  two  disciples  in  the  country.  14  He 
appeared  unto  the  eleven  in  the  evening.  Jesus 
was  received  up  into  heaven. 

1  And  when  *the  sabbath  was  past, 
Mary  Magdalene,  and  Mary  the  moth- 
er of  James,  and  Salome,  had  brought 
sweet  spices,  that  they  might  come 
and  anoint  him. 

2  And  very  early  in  the  morning, 
tthe  first  day  of  the  week,  they  came 
unto  the  sepulchre  at  the  rising  of 
the  sun. 

3  And  they  said  among  themselves.

from  the  door  of  the  sepulchre?

4  And  when  they  looked,  they  saw 
that  the  slone  was  rolled  away:  for 
it  was  very  great. 

5  And  entering  into  the  sepulchre, 
they  saw  a  young  man  sitting  on  the 
right  side,  clothed  in  a  long  white 
garment;   and  they  were  affrighted. 

6  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Be  not 
affrighted:  ye  seek  Jesus  of  Nazareth, 
which  was  crucified:  he  is  risen:  he 
is  not  her^:  behold  the  place  where 
they  laid  him. 

7  But  go  your  way,  tell  his  disci- 
ples and  Peter  that  he  goeth  before 
you  into  Galilee:  there  shall  ye  see 
him,  as  he  said  unto  you. 

8  And  they  went  out  quickly,  and 
fled  from  the  sepulchre;  for  they 
trembled  and  were  amazed:  neither 
said  they  anything  to  any  man;  for 
they  were  afraid. 

9  Now  when  Jesus  was  risen  early 
tthe  first  day  of  the  week,  he  appeared 
first  to  Mary  Magdalene,  out  of  whom 
he  had  cast  seven  devils. 

10  And  she  went  and  told  them 
that  had  been  with  him,  as  they 
mourned  and  wept. 

11  And  they,  when  they  had  heard 
that  he  was  alive,  and  had  been  seen 
of  her,  believed  not. 

12  After  that  he  appeared  in 
another     form     unto  two  of  them,  as

they  walked,  and  went  into  the  coun- 
try. 

13  And  they  went  and  told  it  unto 
the  residue:  neither  believed  they 
them. 

14  Afterward  he  appeared  unto  the 
eleven  as  they  sat  at  meat,  and  up- 
braided them  with  their  unbelief  and 
hardness  of  heart,  because  they  be- 
lieved not  them  which  had  seen  him 
after  he  was  risen. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them.  Go  ye 
into  all  the  world,  and  preach  the 
gospel  to  every  creature. 

16  He  that  believeth  and  is  bap- 
tized shall  be  saved;  but  he  that  be- 
lieveth not  shall  be  damned. 

17  And  these  signs  shall  follow 
them  that  believe;  In  my  name  shall 
they  cast  out  devils;  they  shall  speak 
with  new  tongues; 

IS  They  shall  take  up  serpents; 
and  if  they  drink  any  deadly  thing,  it 
shall  not  hurt  them;  they  shall  lay 
hands  on  the  sick,  and  they  shall  re- 
cover. 

19  So  then,  after  the  Lord  had 
spoken  unto  them,  he  was  received  up 
into  heaven,  and  qsat  on  the  right 
hand  of  God. 

20  And  they  went  forth,  and 
preached  every  where,  the  Lord  work- 
ing with  them,  and  confirming  the 
word   with  signs   following.     Amen.

sabbath,  with  them  that  were  to  go 
out  on  the  sabbath:  for  Jehoiada  the

the  king  of  Judasa,  a  certain  priest 
named  *Zechariah,  of  the'  acourse  of 
I'Abijah-  and  his  wife  was  of  the 
daughters  of  Aaron,  and  her  name 
was  Elisabeth. 

6  And  they  were  both  crighteous 
before  God,  walking  in  all  the  com- 
mandments and  ordinances  of  the 
Lord  blameless. 

7  And  they  had  no  child,  because 
that  Elisabeth  was  barren;  and  they 
both  were  now  well  stricken  in  years. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while 
he  executed  the  priest's  office  before 
God  in  the  order  of  his  course,

before  me,  and  be  thou  perfect. 

2  And  I  will  make  my  covenant 
between  me  and  thee,  and  will  multi- 
ply thee  exceedingly. 


*Zechariah  was  one  of  the  twenty-four  chief 
priests,  who  were  subordinate  to  the  high 
priest.  All  of  these  priests  were  present  at  the 
feast  of  Unleavened  bi-ead  and  the  feast  of  Tab- 
ernacles. Following  these  feasts  the  chief 
priests  officiated,  each  in  regular  order  but  one 
week  at  a  time,  the  change  being  made  on  the 
Sabbath  (II.  Chronicles  xxiii.  8).  Zechariah 
was  of  the  course  of  Abijah,  which  was  the 
eighth  (I.  Chronicles  xxiv.  10) ;  hence  he  served 
during  the  eighth  week  after  the  feast  of  Tab- 
ernacles, and  again  during  the  eighth  week  after 
the  feast  of  Unleavened  bread.  This  would 
require  him  to  officiate  June  5-12  B.  C.  6.  If 
the  conception  of  Elizabeth  occurred  about  this 
time,  John  the  Baptist  would  be  born  about 
March  12th.  B.  C.  5,  and  Jesus  six  months  later, 
about  September  12th,  B.  C.  5.

face,  and  laughed,  and  said  in  his 
heart.  Shall  a  child  be  born  unto  him

not  speak  unto  them:  and  they  per- 
ceived that  he  had  seen  a  vision  in  the 
temple;  for  he  beckoned  unto  them,

highly  favoured,  the  Lord  is  wich

should  be.

Fear  not,  Mary:  for  thou  hast  found 
favour  with  God. 

31  And,  behold,  thou  shalt  conceive 
in  thy  womb,  and  bring  forth  a  son,

Elisabeth  heard  the  salutation  of  Ma-

Elisabeth  was  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost: 

42  And  she  spake  out  with  a  hmd 
voice,  and  said.  Blessed  art  thou 
among  women,  and  blessed  is  the  fruit 
of  thy  womb. 

43  And  whence  is  this  to  me,  that 
the  mother  of  my  Lord  should  come 
to  me?

thy  salutation  sounded  in  mine  ears, 
the  babe  leaped  in  my  womb  for  joy.

39  And  I  will  give  them  one  heart, 
and  one  way,  that  they  may  fear  me 
forever,  for  the  good  of  them,  and  of 
their  children  after  them: 

40  And  I  will  make  an  everlasting 
covenant  with  them,  that  I  will  not 
turn  away  from  them,  to  do  them 
good;  but  I  will  put  my  fear  in  their 
hearts,  that  they  shall  not  depart  from 
me. 

41  Yea,  I  will  rejoice  over  them  to 
do  them  good,  and  I  will  plant  them 
in  this  land  assuredly  with  my  whole 
heart  and   with   my  whole  soul.

ye  will  obey  my  voice  indeed,  and  keep 
my  covenant,  then  ye  shall  be  a  pe- 
culiar treasure  unto  me  above  all  peo- 
ple: for  all  the  earth  is  mine: 

6  And  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a  king- 
dom of  priests,  and  a  holy  nation. 
These  are  the  words  which  thou  shalt 
speak    unto    the    children    of    Israel. 

LEVITICUS  xi:44  For  I  am  the 
Lord  your  God:  ye  shall  therefore 
sanctify  yourselves,  and  ye  shall  be

in  darkness  and  in  the  shadow  ot 
death,  to  guide  our  feet  into  the  way

ye,  and  let  us  walk  in  the  light  of  the 
Lord.

thine  horn  with  oil,  and  go,  I  will

thee  shall  he  [Jesus]  come  torth  unto 
me  that  is  to  be  ruler  in  Israel;  whose 
goings  forth  have  been  from  of  old,

ISAIAH  liii:2  bHe  [Jesus]  shall

them   in  the  inn. 

8  And  there  were  in  the  same  coun- 
try shepherds  abiding  in  the  field, 
keeping  watch  over  their  flock  by 
night. 

9  And,  lo,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  them,  and  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  shone  round  about  them;  and 
they  were  sore  afraid. 

10  And  the  angel  said  unto  them, 
Fear  not:  for,  cbehold,  I  bring  you 
good  tidings  of  great  joy,  dwhich  shall 
be  to  all  people. 

11  eFor  unto  you  is  born  this  day

is  Christ  the  Lord. 

12  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto 
you;  Ye  shall  find  the  babe  wrapped 
in  swaddling  clothes,  lying  in  a  man-

the  angel  a  multitude  of  the  heavenly

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  an-

heaven,  the  shepherds  said  one  to  an- 
other. Let  us  now  go  even  unto  Beth- 
lehem, and  see  this  thing  which  is 
come  to  pass,  which  the  Lord  hath 
made  known  unto  us. 

16  And  they  came  with  haste,  and 
found  Mary  and  Joseph,  and  the  babe 
lying  in  a  manger. 

17  And  when  they  had  seen  it,  they 
made  known  abroad  the  saying  which 
was  told  them  concerning  this  child.

LEVITICUS  XII  :1  iAnd  the  Lord

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Israel, 
saying,  If  a  woman  have  conceived 
seed,  and  borne  a  man  child,  then  she 
shall  be  unclean  seven  days;  according 
to  the  days  of  the  separation  for  her 
infirmity  shall   she  be  unclean. 

3  And  in  the  eighth  day  the  flesh 
of  his  foreskin  shall  be  circumcised. 

i  And  she  shall  then  continue  in 
the  blood  of  her  purifying  three  and 
thirty  days;  she  shall  touch  no  hal- 
lowed thing,  nor  come  into  the  sanc- 
tuary, until  the  days  of  her  purifying 
be  fulfilled. 

5  But  if  she  bear  a  maid  child,  then 
she  shall  be  unclean  two  weeks,  as  in 


21  hAnd  when  eight  days  were  ac- 
complished for  the  circumcising  of  the 
child,  his  name  was  called  JESUS, 
which  was  so  named  of  the  angel  be- 
fore he   was  conceived   in  the   womb. 

22  iAnd  when  the  days  of  her  puri- 
fication according  to  the  law  of  Moses 
were  accomplished,  they  brought  him 
to  Jerusalem,  to  present  him  to  the 
Lord ; 

23  (As  it  is  written  in  the  law  of 
the  Lord,  jevery  male  that  openeth  the 
womb  shall  be  called  holy  to  the 
Lord;)

to  that  which  is  said  in  the  law  of  the 
Lord,  A  pair  of  turtledoves,  or  two 
young  pigeons. 

25  And,  behold,  there  was  a  man 
in  Jerusalem,  whose  name  was  Sim- 
eon; and  the  same  man  was  just  and 
devout,  kwaiting  for  the  consolation  of 
Israel:  and  the  Holy  Ghost  was  upon 
him. 

26  And  it  was  revealed  unto  him  by 

her  separation:  and  she  shall  continue 
in  the  blood  of  her  purifying  three- 
score   and    six   days. 

6  And  when  the  days  of  her  purify- 
ing are  fulfilled,  for  a  son,  or  for  a 
daughter,  she  shall  bring  a  lamb  of 
the  first  year  for  a  burnt  offering,  and 
a  young  pigeon,  or  a  turtledove,  for 
a  sin  offering,  unto  the  door  of  the  tab- 
ernacle of  the  congregation,  unto  the 
priest: 

7  Who  shall  offer  it  before  the 
Lord,  and  make  an  atonement  for  her; 
and  she  shall  be  cleansed  from  the 
issue  of  her  blood.  This  is  the  law  for 
her  that  hath  born  a  male  or  a  fe- 
male. 

8  And  if  she  be  not  able  to  bring 
a  lamb,  then  she  shall  bring  two  tur- 
tles, or  two  young  pigeons;  the 
one  for  the  burnt  offering,  and  the 
other  for  a  sin  offering:  and  the  priest 
shall  make  an  atonement  for  her,  and

him  after  the  custom  of  the  law,

Jesus  Increased  in  Wisdom, 


Lord,    they    returned    into    Galilee,    to 
their  own  city  Nazareth. 

40  And  the  child  grew,  and  waxed 
strong  in  spirit,  filled  with  wisdom; 
and  the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 

41  sNow  his  parents  went  to  Jeru- 
salem every  year  at  the  feast  of  *the 
passover. 

42  And  when  he  was  twelve  years 
old,  they  went  up  to  Jerusalem  after 
the  custom   of  the  feast. 

43  And  when  they  had  fulfilled  the 
days,  as  they  returned,  the  child  Jesus 
tarried  behind  in  Jerusalem;  and  Jo- 
seph and  his  mother  knew  not  of  it. 

44  But  they,  supposing  him  to  have 
been  in  the  company,  went  a  day's 
journey;  and  they  sought  him  among 
their  kinsfolk   and   acquaintance. 

45  And  when  they  found  him  not, 
they  turned  back  again  to  Jerusalem, 
seeking  him. 

46  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
three  days  they  found  him  in  the  tem- 
ple, sitting  in  the  midst  of  the  doctors, 
tboth  hearing  them,  and  asking  them 
questions. 

47  And  all  that  heard  him  were  as- 
tonished at  his  understanding  and  an- 
swers. 

EXODUS  xxiii:15  sThou  shalt 
keep    the   feast   of   unleavened   bread: 

DEUTERONOMY  XVI  :1  Observe

over  unto  the  Lord  thy  God:  for  in 
the  month  of  Abib  the  Lord  thy  God 
brougnt  thee  forth  out  of  Egypt  by 
night. 

16  Three  times  in  a  year  shall  all 
thy  males  appear  before  the  Lord  thy 
God  in  the  place  which  he  shall 
choose;  in  the  feast  of  unleavened 
bread,  and  in  the  feast  of  weeks,  and 
in  the  feast  of  tabernacles:  and  they 
shall  not  appear  before  the  Lord 
empty: 

*The  Passover  occupied  but  one  day.  and  the 
feast  of  Unleavened  bread  immediately  followed 
it.  and  continued  seven  days.  In  the  New  Tes- 
tament both  together  are  usually  called  the 
Passover.  It  always  began  on  Saturday.  Christ 
is  our  Passover. 


4S  And  when  they  saw  him,  they 
were  amazed:  and  his  mother  said  un- 
to him,  Son,  why  hast  thou  thus  dealt 
with  us?  behold,  thy  father  and  I  have 
sought  thee  sorrowing. 

49  And  he  said  unto  them,  How  is 
is  that  ye  sought  me?  Wist  ye  not 
that  I  must  be  about  my  Father's 
business? 

50  And  they  understood  not  the 
saying  which  he  spake  unto  them. 

51  And  he  went  down  with  them, 
and  came  to  Nazareth,  and  was  subject 
unto  them:  but  his  mother  kept  uall 
these  sayings  in  her  heart.

testimony  of  Christ.  20  Herod  imprisoned  John.

1  Now  in  the  fifteenth  year  of  the 
reign  of  tTiberius  Caesar,  Pontius  Pi- 
late being  governor  of  Judaea,  and 
Herod  being  tetrach  of  Galilee,  and  his 
brother  Philip  tetrarch  of  Ituraea  and 
of  the  region  of  Trachonitis,  and  Lys- 
anias  the  tetrarch  of  Abilene, 

2  Annas  and  Caiaphas  being  the 
high  priest,  the  word  of  God  came  un- 

ISAIAH  XI  :1  tAnd  there  shall 
come  forth  a  rod  [Jesus]  out  of  the 
stem  of  Jesse,  and  a  Branch  shall 
grow  out  of  his  roots: 

2  And  the  spirit  of  the  Lord  shall 
rest  upon  him,  the  spirit  of  wisdom 
and  understanding,  the  spirit  of  coun- 
sel and  might,  the  spirit  of  knowledge 
and   of   the   fear   of   the   Lord. 

DANIEL  vii:28  uHitherto  is  the 
end  of  the  matter.  As  for  me,  Daniel, 
my  cogitations  much  troubled  me,  and 
my  countenance  changed  in  me:  but  1 
kept  the  matter  in  my  heart. 

I.  SAMUEL  ii:26  vAnd  the  child 
Samuel  grew  on,  and  was  in  favour 
both  with  the  Lord,  and  also  with  men. 

tTiberius  Cfesar  began  his  reign  A.  D.  12; 
hence  his  fifteenth  year  was  A.  D.  26.  He  was  two 
years  associated  with  Augustus  Cffisar,  who 
died  Aug.  19,  A.  D.  14.

John's  Testimony 


ST.  LUKE  III. 


to  John   the  son  of  Zechariah    in   the 
wilderness. 

3  And  ahe  came  into  all  the  coun- 
try about  Jordan,  preaching  the  bap- 
tism of  repentance  for  the  rpraission 
uf  sins; 

4  As  It  is  written  in  the  book  of  the 
words  of  Isaiah  the  prophet,  saying, 
bThe  voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wil- 
derness, Prepare  ye  the  way  of  the 
Lord,  make  his  paths  straight. 

5  Every  valley  shall  be  filled,  and 
every  mountain  and  hill  shall  be 
brought  low;  and  the  crooked  shall 
be  made  straight,  and  the  rough  w-ays 
shall  be  made  smooth; 

6  cAnd  all  flesh  shall  see  the  salva- 
tion of  God. 

7  Then  said  he  to  the  multitude 
that  came  forth  to  be  baptized  of  him, 
0  generation  of  vipers,  who  hath 
warned  you  to  flee  from  the  wrath  to 
come? 

8  Bring  forth  therefore  fruits 
worthy  of  repentance,  and  begin  not  to 
say  within  yourselves,  We  have  Abra- 
ham to  our  father:  for  I  say  unto  you. 
That  God  is  able  of  these  stones  to 
raise   up  children   unto  Abraham. 

9  And  now  also  the  axe  is  laid 
unto  the  root  of  the  trees:   every  tree 

MALACHI  iv:6  aAnd  he  [John  the 
Baptist]  shall  turn  the  heart  of  the 
fathers  to  the  children,  and  the  heart 
of  the  children  to  their  fathers,  lest  I 
come  and  smite  the  earth  with  a 
curse. 

ISAIAH  xl:3  bThe  voice  of  him 
[John  the  Baptist]  that  crieth  in  the 
wilderness,  Prepare  ye  the  way  of  the 
Lord,  make  straight  in  the  desert  a 
highway   for  our  God. 

4  Every  valley  shall  be  exalted,  and 
every  mountain  and  hill  shall  be  made 
low:  and  the  crooked  shall  be  made 
straight,  and   the  rough   places   plain: 

5  And  the  glory  of  the  Lord  shall 
be  revealed,  and  all  flesh  shall  see  it 
together:  for  the  mouth  of  the  Ix)rd 
hath  spoken  it. 

PSALM     xcviii:2    cThe    Lord     hath 


therefore  which  bringeth  not  forth 
good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into 
the  fire. 

10  And  the  people  asked  him,  say- 
ing. What  (ishall  we  do  then? 

11  He  answereth  and  s'aith  unto 
them,  He  that  hath  two  coats,  let  him 
impart  to  him  that  hath  none;  and  he 
that  hath  meat,  let  him  do  likewise. 

12  Then  came  also  publicans  to  be 
baptized,  and  said  unto  him.  Master, 
what  shall  we  do? 

13  And  he  said  unto  them.  Exact 
no  more  than  that  which  is  appointed 
you. 

14  And  the  soldiers  likewise  de- 
manded of  him,  saying,  And  what  shall 
we  do?  And  he  said  unto  them.  Do 
violence  to  no  man,  eneither  accuse 
any  falsely;  and  be  content  with  your 
wages. 

15  And  as  the  people  were  in  ex- 
pectation, and  all  men  mused  in  their 
hearts  of  John,  whether  he  were  the 
Christ,  or  not; 

16  John  answered,  saying  unto 
them  all,  I  indeed  baptize  you  with 
water;  but  one  mightier  than  I  Com- 
eth, the  latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am 
not  worthy  to  unloose:  he  shall  bap- 
tize    you     with  the     Holy  Ghost  and 

made  known  his  salvation:  his  right- 
eousness hath  he  openly  shewed  in  the 
sight  of  the  heathen. 

ISAIAH  lii:10  The  Lord  hath  made 
bare  his  holy  arm  in  the  eyes  of  all 
the  nations;  and  all  the  ends  of  the 
earth  shall  see  the  salvation  of  our 
God. 

MICAH  vi:8  rtHe  hath  shewed  thee. 
O  man,  what  is  good;  and  what  doth 
the  Lord  require  of  thee,  but  to  do 
justly,  and  to  love  mercy,  and  to  walk 
humbly  with  thy  God? 

EXODUS  XXLILl  eThou  shalt  not 
raise  a  false  report:  put  not  thine 
hand  with  the  wicked  to  be  an  un- 
righteous witness. 

LEVITICUS  xix:ll  Ye  shall  not 
steal,  neither  deal  falsely,  neither  lie 
one  to  another.

he  will  thoroughly  purge  his  floor,  and 
fwill  gather  the  wheat  into  his  gar-

fire  unquenchable. 

18  And  many  other  things  in  his 
exhortation  preached  he  unto  the  peo- 
ple. 

19  But  liHerod  the  tetrarch,  being 
reproved  by  him  for  Herodias  his 
brother  Philip's  wife,  and  for  all  the 
evils   which    Herod   had    done, 

20  Added  yet  this  above  all,  that  he

the  thoughts  of  the  Lord,  neither  un- 
derstand they  his  counsel:  for  he  shall 
gather  them  as  the  sheaves  into  the 
floor. 

PSALM  xi:6  gUpon  the  wicked  he 
shall  rain  snares,  flre  and  brimstone, 
and  a  horrible  tempest:  this  shall  be 
the  portion  of  their  cup.

devour  before  him,  and  it  shall  be 
very  tempestuous  round  about  him.

his  arm,  with  the  indignation  of  his

standing is  also  a  great  oppressor: 
but  he  that  hateth  covetousness  shall 
prolong  his  days. 

DANIEL  iii:26  iHe  [Nebuchadnez- 
zar] answered  and  said,  Lo,  I  see  four 
men  loose,  walking  in  the  midst  of 
the  fire,  and  they  have  no  hurt;   and 


in  a  bodily  shape  like  a  dove  upon 
him,  and  a  voice  came  from  heaven, 
which  said,  iThou  art  my  beloved  Son; 
in  thee  I  am  well  pleased. 

23  And  Jesus  himself  began  to  be 
Jabout  thirty  years  of  age,  being  (as 
was  supposed)  the  son  of  Joseph, 
*which  was  the  son  of  Hell, 

24  Which  was  the  son  of  Matthat, 
which  was  the  son  of  Levi,  which  was 
the  son  of  Melchi,  which  was  the  son 
of  Jannai,  which  was  the  son  of  Jo- 
seph, 

25  Which  was  the  son  of  Matta- 
thias,  which  was  the  son  of  Amos, 
which  was  the  son  of  Nahum,  which 
was  the  son  of  Esli,  which  was  the  son 
of  Naggai, 

26  Which  was  the  son  of  Maath,

*The  genealotr.v  of  Luke  begins  with  Jesus 
and  runs  back  to  the  creation  of  Adam.  The 
genealogy  of  Matthew  begins  with  Abraham 
and  runs  down  to  Jesus.  Both  agree  from  Abra- 
ham to  David,  from  whom  Matthew  continues 
in  the  line  of  Solomon,  and  Luke  takes  the  line 
of  Nathan,  a  brother  of  Solomon.  They  come 
together  in  the  person  of  Jesus  the  Christ.  We 
think  that  Mary  was  the  daughter  of  Heli.  and 
Joseph  was  the  son  of  Jacob  (Matthew  i:  16). 
The  names  of  Salathiel  and  Zerubbabel  as  fath- 
er and  son  appear  in  both  genealogies.  Adam 
Clarke  believed  that  these  were  the  same  person. 
But  between  David  and  Salathiel  in  Luke  there 
are  twenty  names,  and  in  Matthew  there  are 
only  fourteen  names.

God. 

5  And  the  devil,  taking  him  up  in- 
to a  high  mountain,  shewed  unto  him 
all  the  kingdoms  of  the  world  in  a  mo- 
ment of  time. 

6  And  the  devil  said  unto  him.  All 
this  power  will  I  give  thee,  and  the 
glory  of  them:  for  that  is  delivered 
unto  me;  and  to  whomsoever  I  will, 
I  give  it. 

7  If  thou  therefore  wilt  worship 
me,  all  shall  be  thine. 

8  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  un-

the  Lord  thy  God,  and  him  only  shalt

I.  KINGS  xix:8  cAnd  he  [Elijah] 
arose,  and  did  eat  and  drink,  and  went 
in  the  strength  of  that  meat  forty 
days  and  forty  nights  unto  Horeb  the 
mount  of  God. 

EXODUS  xxxiv:28     And  he  [Moses] 

was     there     with  the  Lord  forty  days 

and    forty  nights;    he  did  neither  cit 

bread,     nor     drink     water.       And   He 

wrote     upon     the  tables  the  words  of 

the  covenant,  the  ten  commandments. 

'      DEUTERONOMY     viii:3       "^And   he 

humbled     thee,     and   suffered   thee  to

proceedeth     out     of  the  mouth  of  the 

Lord  doth  man  live.

9  And  he  brought  him  to  Jerusa- 
lem, and  set  him  on  a  pinnacle  of  the 
temple,  and  said  unto  him.  If  thou  be 
the  Son  of  God.  cast  thyself  down  from 
hence:

his  angels  charge  over  thee,  to  keep 
thee: 

11  And  in  their  hands  they  shall 
bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any  time  thou 
dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

12  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
him,  git  is  said.  Thou  shalt  not  tempt 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

13  And  when  the  devil  had  ended 
all  the  temptation,  he  departed  from 
him  for  a  season. 

14  And  Jesus  returned  in  the  pow- 
er of  the  Spirit  into  Galilee:  and  there 
went  out  a  fame  of  him  through  all 
ihe  region  round  about. 

15  And  he  taught  in  their  syna-

custom  was,  he  went  into  the  syna- 
gogue on  the  sabbath  day,  and  stood 
up  for  to  read. 

17  And  there  was  delivered  unto 
him  the  book  of  the  prophet  Isaiah. 
And  when  he  had  opened  the  book,  he 
found  the  place  where  it  was  written, 

18  iThe  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon 
me,  because  he  hath  anointed  me  to 
preach  the  gospel  to  the  poor;  he  hath 
sent  me  to  heal  the  brokenhearted, 
to  preach  deliverance  to  the  captives, 
and  recovering  of  sight  to  the  blind, 
to  set  at  liberty  them  that  are  bruised, 

19  To  preach  the  acceptable  year 
of  the  Lord. 

20  And  he  closed  the  book,  and  he 
gave  it  again  to  the  minister,  and  sat 
down.  And  the  eyes  of  all  them  that 
were  in  the  synagogue  were  fastened 
on  him. 

21  And  he  began  to  say  unto  them. 
This  day  is  this  Scripture  fulfilled  in 
your  ears. 

ISAIAH  LX1:1  iThe  spirit  of  the 
Lord  God  is  upon  me  [Christ] ;  because 
the  Lord  hath  anointed  me  to  preach 
good  tidings  unto  the  meek;  he  hath 
sent  me  to  bind  up  the  brokenhearted, 
to  proclaim  liberty  to  the  captives,  and 
the  opening  of  the  prison  to  them 
that  are  bound; 

2  To  proclaim  the  acceptable  year 
of  the  Lord,  and  the  day  of  vengeance 
of  our  God;  to  comfort  all  that  mourn; 

PSALM  xlv:2  jThou  [Christ]  art 
fairer  than  the  children  of  men:  grace 
is  poured  into  thy  lips:  therefore  God 
hath  blessed  thee  for  ever. 

I.  KINGS  XVII:  1  kAnd  Elijah  the 
Tishbite,  who  was  of  the  inhabitants 
of  Gilead,  said  unto  Ahab,  As  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel  liveth,  before  whom  I 
stand,  there  shall  not  be  dew  nor  rain 
,  these  years,  but  according  to  my 
word. 

2  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  him,  saying, 

3  Get  thee  hence,  and  turn  thee 
eastward,  and  hide  thyself  by  the 
brook   Cherith,   that   is  before  Jordan. 

4  And  it  shall  be,  that  thou  shalt 


22  And  all  bare  him  witness,  and 
jwondered  at  the  gracious  words  which 
proceeded  out  of  his  mouth.  And 
they  said,  Is  not  this  Joseph's  son? 

23  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  will 
surely  say  unto  me  this  proverb.  Phy- 
sician, heal  thyself:  whatsoever  we 
have  heard  done  in  Capernaum,  do  al- 
so here  in  thy  country. 

24  And  he  said,  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  No  prophet  is  accepted  in  his  own 
country. 

25  But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth,  kmany 
widows  were  in  Israel  in  the  days  of 
Elijah,  when  the  heaven  was  shut  up 
three  years  and  six  months,  when 
great  famine  was  throughout  all  the 
land; 

26  But  unto  none  of  them  was  Eli- 
jah sent,  save  unto  Zarephath,  a  city 
of  Sidon,  unto  a  woman  that  was  a 
widow. 

27  lAnd  many  lepers  were  in  Israel 

drink  of  the  brook;   and  I  have  com- 
manded the  ravens  to  feed  thee  there. 

5  So  he  went  and  did  according  un- 
to the  word  of  the  Lord:  for  he  went 
and  dwelt  by  the  brook  Cherith,  that 
is  before  Jordan. 

6  And  the  ravens  brought  him 
bread  and  flesh  in  the  morning,  and 
bread  and  flesh  in  the  evening;  and 
he  drank  of  the  brook. 

7  And  it  came  to  pass  after  a 
while,  that  the  brook  dried  up,  be- 
cause there  had  been  no  rain  in  the 
land. 

8  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  him,  saying, 

9  Arise,  get  thee  to  Zarephath, 
which  belongeth  to  Zidon,  and  dwell 
there:  behold,  I  have  commanded  a 
widow   woman   there  to   sustain   thee. 

I.  KINGS  XVIII  :1  And  it  came  to 
pass  after  many  days,  that  the  word 
of  the  Lord  came  to  Elijah  in  the  third 
year,  saying.  Go,  shew  thyself  unto 
Ahab;  and  I  will  send  rain  upon  the 
earth.

in  the  time  of  Elisha  the  prophet; 
und  none  of  them  was  cleansed,  sav- 
ing Naaraan  the  Syrian. 

2H  And  all  they  in  the  synagogue, 
when  they  heard  these  things,  were 
filled  with  wrath, 

29  And  rose  up.  and  thrust  him  out 
of  the  city,  and  led  him  unto  the  brow 
of  the  hill  whereon  their  city  was 
built,  that  they  might  cast  him  down 
headlong. 

30  But  he,  passing  through  the 
midst  of  them,  went  his  way. 

31  And  he  came  down  to  Caperna- 
um, a  city  of  Galilee,  and  taught  them 
on  the  sabbath  days. 

32  And  they  were  astonished  at 
his  doctrine:  for  his  word  was  with 
power. 

33  And  in  the  synagogue  there  was 
a  man,  which  had  a  spirit  of  an  un- 
clean devil,  and  cried  out  with  a  loud 
voice, 

34  Saying,  Let  us  alone;  what  have 

Elisha. 

10  And  Elisha  sent  a  messenger 
unto  him,  saying,  Go  and  wash  in  Jor- 
dan seven  times,  and  thy  flesh  shall 
come  again  to  thee,  and  thou  shalt  be 
clean. 

11  But  Naaman  was  wroth,  and 
went  away,  and  said.  Behold,  I 
thought.  He  will  surely  come  out  to 
me,  and  stand,  and  call  on  the  name 
of  the  Lord  his  God,  and  strike  his 
hand  over  the  place,  and  recover  the 
leper. 

12  Are  not  Abana  and  Pharpar, 
rivers  of  Damascus,  better  than  all  the 
waters  of  Israel .'  may  I  not  wash  in 
them,  and  be  clean?  So  he  turned  and 
went  away  in  a  rage. 

13  And  his  servants  came  near, 
and  spake  unto  him,  and  said.  My 
father,  if  the  prophet  had  bid  thee  do 
some  great  thing,  wouldest  thou  not 
have  done  it?  how  much  rather  then, 
when  he  saith  to  thee,  Wash,  and  be 
clean? 

14  Then  he  went  down,  and  dipped 
himself  seven  times  in  Jordan,  ac- 
cording to  the  saying  of  the  man  of 
God:  and  his  flesh  came  again  like  un- 


we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Jesus  of  Na- 
zareth? art  thou  come  to  destroy  us? 
I  know  thee  who  thou  art,  mthe  Holy 
One  of  God. 

35  And  Jesus  rebuked  him,  saying. 
Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out  of  him. 
And  when  the  devil  had  thrown  him 
in  the  midst,  he  came  out  of  him,  and 
hurl  him  not. 

;^G  And  they  were  all  amazed,  and 
spake  among  themselves,  saying.  What 
a  word  is  this!  for  with  authority  and 
power  he  commandeth  the  unclean 
spirits,  and  they  come  out. 

37  And  the  fame  of  him  went  out 
into  every  place  of  the  country  round 
about. 

38  And  he  arose  out  of  the  syna- 
gogue, and  entered  into  Simon's  house. 
And  Simon's  wife's  mother  was  taken 
with  a  great  fever;  and  they  besought 
him  for  her. 

39  And  he  stood  over  her,  and  nre- 
buked  the  fever;   and  it  left  her:   and 

to  the  flesh  of  a  little  child,  and  he 
was  clean. 

PSALM  xvi:10  mFor  thou  wilt  not 
leave  my  soul  [Christ's] in  hell;  neith- 
er wilt  thou  suffer  thine  Holy  One  to 
see  corruption.

One,  [Christ]  to  him  whom  man  de- 
spiseth,  to  him  whom  the  nation  ab- 
horreth,  to  a  servant  of  rulers,  Kings 
shall  see  and  arise,  princes  also  shall

immediately  she  arose  and  ministered 
unto  them. 

40  Now  when  the  sun  was  setting, 
all  they  that  had  any  sick  with  divers 
diseases  brought  them  unto  him;  and 
he  laid  his  hands  on  every  one  of 
them,  and  healed  them. 

41  And  devils  also  came  out  of 
many,  crying  out,  and  saying,  Thou 
art  Christ  the  Son  of  God.  *And  he 
rebuking  them  suffered  them  not  to 
speak:  for  they  knew  that  he  was 
Christ. 

42  And  when  it  was  day,  he  de- 
parted and  went  into  a  desert  place: 
and  the  people  sought  him,  and  came 
unto  him,  and  stayed  him,  that  he 
should  not  depart  from  them. 

43  And  he  said  unto  them,  I  must 
preach  the  kingdom  of  God  to  other 
cities  also:   for  therefore  am  I  sent.

gogues of  Galilee.

1  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
the  people  pressed  upon  him  to  hear 
the  word  of  God,  he  stood  by  the  lake 
of  Gennesaret, 

2  And  saw  two  ships  standing  by 
the  lake:  but  the  fishermen  were  gone 
out  of  them,  and  were  washing  their 
nets. 

3  And  he  entered  into  one  of  the 
ships,  which  was  Simon's,  and  prayed 
him  that  he  would  thrust  out  a  little

zah,  and  God  smote  him  there  for  his 
error;  and  there  he  died  by  the  ark 
'of  God. 

8  And  David  was  displeased,  be- 
cause the  Lord  had  made  a  breach  up- 
on Uzzah:  and  he  called  the  name  of 
the  place  Perez-uzzah  to  this  day. 

*  Jesus  preferred  not  to  have  the  testimony  of

from  the  land.     And  he  sat  down,  and 
taught  the  people  out  of  the  ship. 

4  Now  when  he  had  left  speaking, 
he  said  unto  Simon,  Launch  out  in- 
to the  deep,  and  let  down  your  nets 
for  a  draught. 

5  And  Simon  answering  said  unto 
him,  Master,  we  have  toiled  all  the 
night,  and  have  taken  nothing:  never- 
theless at  thy  word  I  will  let  down  the 
net. 

6  And  when  they  had  this  done, 
they  inclosed  a  great  multitude  of 
fishes:   and  their  net  brake. 

7  And  they  beckoned  unto  their 
partners,  which  were  in  the  other 
ship,  that  they  should  come  and  help 
them.  And  they  came,  and  filled  both 
the  ships,  so  that  they  began  to  sink. 

8  When  Simon  Peter  saw  it,  he 
fell  down  at  Jesus'  knees,  saying,  oDe- 
part  from  me;  for  I  am  a  sinful  man, 

0  Lord. 

9  For  he  was  astonished,  and  all 
that  were  with  him,  at  the  draught 
of  the  fishes  .which  they  had  taken: 

10  And  so  was  also  James,  and 
John,  the  sons  of  Zebedee,  which  were 
partners  with  Simon.  And  Jesus  said 
unto  Simon,  Fear  not;  from  hence- 
forth thou  shalt  catch  men. 

11  And  when  they  had  brought 
their  ships  to  land,  they  forsook  all, 
and  followed  him. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
was  in  a  certain  city,  behold  a  man 
full  of  leprosy;  who  seeing  Jesus  fell 
on  his  face,  and  besought  him,  saying, 

9  And  David  was  afraid  of  the 
Lord  that  day,  and  said,  How  shall 
the  ark  of  the  Lord  come  to  me? 

10  So  David  would  not  remove  the 
ark  of  the  Lord  unto  him  into  the 
city  of  David:  but  David  carried  it 
aside  into  the  house  of  Obed-edom 
the  Gittite.

22  And  two  turtledoves,  or  two 
young  pigeons,  such  as  he  is  able  to 
get;  and  the  one  .shall  be  a  sin  offer- 
ing, and  the  other  a  burnt  offering. 

23  And  he  shall  bring  them  on  the 
eighth  day  for  his  cleansing  unto  the 
priest,  unto  the  door  of  the  taberna- 
cle of  the  congregation,  before  the 
Lord. 

24  And  the  priest  shall  take  the 
lamb  of  the  trespass  offering,  and  the 


iiear,  and  to  be  healed  by  him  of  their 
infirmities. 

16  And  he  withdrew  himself  into 
the  wilderness,  and  prayed. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass  on  a  cer- 
tain day,  as  he  was  teaching,  that 
there  were  Pharisees  and  doctors  of 
the  law  sitting  by,  which  were  come 
out  of  every  town  of  Galilee,  and 
Judiva,  and  Jerusalem:  and  the  power 
of  the  Lord  was  present  to  heal  them. 

18  And,  behold,  men  brought  in  a 
bed  a  man  which  was  taken  with  a 
palsy:  and  they  sought  means  to  bring 

log  of  oil,  and  the  priest  shall  wave 
them  for  a  wave  offering  before  the 
Lord: 

25  And  he  shall  kill  the  lamb  of 
the  trespass  offering,  and  the  priest 
shall  take  some  of  the  blood  of  the 
trespass  oft'ering,  and  put  it  upon  the 
tip  of  the  right  ear  of  him  that  is  to 
be  cleansed,  and  upon  the  thumb  of 
his  right  hand,  and  upon  the  great  toe 
of  his  right  foot. 

26  And  the  priest  shall  pour  of  the 
oil  into  the  palm  of  his  own  left  hand: 

27  And  the  priest  shall  sprinkle 
with  his  right  finger  some  of  the  oil 
that  is  in  his  left  hand  seven  times 
before  the  Lord: 

28  And  the  priest  shall  put  of  the 
oil  that  is  in  his  hand  upon  the  tip 
of  the  right  ear  of  him  that  is  to  be 
cleansed,  and  upon  the  thumb  of  his 
right  hand,  and  upon  the  great  toe  of 
his  right  foot,  upon  the  place  of  the 
blood  of  the  trespass  offering: 

29  And  the  rest  of  the  oil  that  is 
in  the  priest's  hand  he  shall  put  upon 
the  head  of  him  that  is  to  be  cleansed, 
to  make  an  atonement  for  him  before 
the  Lord. 

30  And  he  shall  offer  the  one  of  the 
turtledoves,  or  of  the  young  pigeons, 
such  as  he  can  get; 

31  Even  such  as  he  is  able  to  get, 
the  one  for  a  sin  offering,  and  the 
other  for  a  burnt  offering,  with  the 
meat  offering:  and  the  priest  shall 
make  an  atonement  for  him  that  is 
to  be  cleansed  before  the  Lord. 

32  This  is  the  law  of  him  in  whom 
is  the  plague  of  leprosy,  whose  hand 
is  not  able  to  get  that  which  pertain- 
eth  to  his  cleansing.

19  And  when  they  could  not  find 
by  what  way  they  might  bring  him  in 
because  of  the  multitude,  they  went 
upon  the  housetop,  and  let  him  down 
through  the  tiling  with  his  couch  in- 
to the  midst  before  Jesus. 

20  And  when  he  saw  their  faith, 
he  said  unto  him,  Man,  thy  sins  are 
qforgiven  thee. 

21  And  the  scribes  and  the  Phari- 
sees began  to  reason,  saying,  Who  is 
this  which  speaketh  blasphemies? 
rWho  can  forgive  sins,  but  God  alone? 

22  But  when  Jesus  perceived  their 
thoughts,  he  answering  said  unto 
them,  What  reason  ye  in  your  hearts? 

23  Whether  is  easier,  to  say.  Thy 
sins  be  forgiven  thee;  or  to  say,  Rise 
up  and  walk? 

24  But  that  ye  may  know  that  the 
Son  of  man  hath  power  upon  earth  to 
forgive  sins,  (he  said  unto  the  sick  of 
the  palsy,)  I  say  unto  thee.  Arise,  and 
take  up  thy  couch,  and  go  into  thine 
house. 

25  And  immediately  he  rose  up  be- 
fore them,  and  took  up  that  whereon 
he  lay,  and  departed  to  his  own  house, 
sglorifying  God.

they     glorified     God,     and  were  filled

27  And  after  these  things  he  went 
forth,  and  saw  a  publican,  named  Le- 
vi, sitting  at  the  receipt  of  custom: 
and  he  said  unto  him,  Follow  me. 

28  And  he  left  all,  rose  up,  and  fol- 
lowed him. 

29  And  Levi  made  him  a  great 
feast  in  his  own  house:  and  there  was 
a  great  company  of  publicans  and  of 
others  that  sat  down  with  them. 

30  But  their  scribes  and  Pharisees 
murmured  against  his  disciples,  say- 
ing, Why  do  ye  eat  and  drink  with 
publicans  and  sinners? 

31  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
them,  They  that  are  whole  need  not 
a  physician;   but  they  that  are  sick. 

32  I  came  not  to  call  the  righteous, 
but  sinners  to  repentance. 

33  And  they  said  unto  him,  Why 
do  the  disciples  of  John  fast  often, 
and  make  prayers,  and  likewise  the 
disciples  of  the  Pharisees;  but  thine 
eat  and  drink? 

34  And  he  said  unto  them.  Can  ye 
make  the  children  of  the  bridecham- 
ber  fast,  while  the  bridegroom  is  with 
them?

to them;  No  man  putteth  a  piece  of 
a  new  garment  upon  an  old;  if  other- 
wise, then  both  the  new  maketh  a 
rent,  and  the  piece  that  was  taken  out 
of  the  new  agreeth  not  with  the  old. 

37  And  no  man  putteth  new  wine 
into  old  bottles;  else  the  new  wine 
will  burst  the  bottles,  and  bo  spilled, 
and  the  bottles  shall  perish. 

38  But  new  wine  must  be  put  into 
new  bottles;    and   both  are  preserved.

wine  straightway  desireth  new;  for

CHAPTER  VI. 

Jesus  accused  of  desecrating  the  Sabbath. 
13  Christ  chose  his  apostles.  20  He  pronounced 
blessintr  upon  his  disciples.  Love  enemies.  41 
The  beam  must  be  out  of  our  eye  in  order  to 
take  the  mote  out  of  our  brother's  eye. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  se- 
cond sabbath  after  the  first,  that  he 
went  through  the  corn  fields;  and  his 
disciples  plucked  the  ears  of  corn,  and 
did  eat,  rubbing  them  in  their  hands. 

2  And  certain  of  the  Pharisees  said 
unto  them,  Why  do  ye  that  which  is 
not  lawful  to  do  on  the  nsabbath  days? 

3  And  Jesus  answering  them  said. 
Have  ye  not  read  so  much  as  this, 
owhat  David  did,  when  himself  was  a 
hungered,  and  they  which  were  with 
him; 

4  How  he  went  into  the  house  of 
God,  and  did  take  and  eat  the  shew- 
bread,     and     gave     also  to  them  that 

shepherd,  and  the  sheep  are  scattered. 
EXODUS  XX :  8      nRemember  the  sab- 
bath day,  to  keep  it  holy. 

9  Six  days  shalt  thou  labour,  and 
do  all  thy  work: 

10  But  the  seventh  day  is  the  sab- 
bath of  the  Lord  thy  God:  in  it  thou 
Shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy 
son,  nor  thy  daughter,  thy  manser- 
vant, nor  thy  maidservant,  nor  thy 
cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within 
thy  gates: 

11  For  in  six  days  the  Lord  made 
heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that 


were  with  him;  pwhich  it  is  not  law- 
ful to  eat  but  for  the  priests  alone? 

5  And  he  said  unto  them.  That  the 
Son  of  man  is  Lord  also  of  the  sab- 
bath. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass  also  on  an- 
other sabbath,  that  he  entered  into 
the  synagogue  and  taught:  and  there 
was  a  man  whose  right  hand  was 
withered. 

7  And  the  scribes  and  Pharisees 
watched  him,  whether  he  would  heal 
on  the  sabbath  day;  that  they  might 
find  an  accusation  against  him. 

8  But  he  knew  their  thoughts,  and 
said  to  the  man  which  had  the  with- 
ered hand,  Rise  up,  and  stand  forth  in 
the  midst.  And  he  arose  and  stood 
forth. 

D  Then  said  .Jesus  unto  them,  I  will 
ask  you  one  thing;  Is  it  lawful  on  the 
sabbath  days  to  do  good,  or  to  do  evil? 
to  save  life,  or  to  destroy  it? 

10  And  looking  round  about  upon 
them  all,  he  said  unto  the  man. 
Stretch  forth  thy  hand.  And  he  did 
so:  and  his  hand  was  restored  whole 
as  the  other. 

11  And  they  were  filled  with  mad- 
ness; and  communed  one  with  anoth- 
er what  they  might  do  to  Jesus. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  that  he  went  out  into  a  moun- 
tain to  pray,  and  continued  all  night 
in  prayer  to  God. 

13  And  when  it  was  day,  he  called 
unto  him  his  disciples:    and  of  them 

in  them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh  day: 
wherefore  the  Lord  blessed  the  sab- 
bath day,  and  hallowed  it. 

L  SAMUEL  xxi:6  oSo  the  priest 
gave  him  hallowed  bread:  for  there 
was  no  bread  there  but  the  shewbread, 
that  was  taken  from  before  the  Lord, 
to  put  hot  bread  in  the  day  when  it 
was  taken  away. 

LEVITICUS  xxiv:9  pAnd  it  [the 
shewbread]  shall  be  Aaron's  and  his 
sons';  and  they  shall  eat  it  in  the  ho- 
ly place:  for  it  is  most  holy  unto  him 
of  the  offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by

also  love  those  that  love  them.

44  For  every  tree  is  known  by  his 
own  fruit.  For  of  thorns  men  do  not 
gather  figs,  nor  of  a  bramble  bush 
gather  they  grapes. 

45  A  good  man  out  of  the  good 
treasure  of  his  heart  bringeth  forth 
that  which  is  good;  and  an  evil  man 
out  of  the  evil  treasure  of  his  heart 
bringeth  forth  that  which  is  evil:  for 
of  the  abundance  of  the  heart  his 
mouth  speaketh.

and  do  not  the  things  which  I  say? 

47  Whosoever  cometh  to  me,  and 
heareth  my  sayings,  and  doeth  them, 
I  will  shew  you  to  whom  he  is  like: 

48  He  is  like  a  man  which  built  a 
house,  and  digged  deep,  and  laid  the 
foundation  on  a  rock:  and  when  the 
flood  arose,  the  stream  beat  vehement- 
ly upon  that  house,  and  could  not 
shake  it;    for  it  was  founded  upon  a 

rock. 

49  But  he  that  heareth,  and  doeth 
not,  is  like  a  man  that  without  a  foun- 
dation built  a  house  upon  the  earth; 
against  which  the  stream  did  beat  ve- 
hemently, and  immediately  it  fell;  and 
the  ruin  of  that  house  was  great.

1  Now  when  he  had  ended  all  his

he  entered  into  Capernaum. 

2  And  a  certain  centurion's  servant, 
who  was  dear  unto  him,  was  sick,  and 
ready  to  die.

3  And  when  he  heard  of  Jesus,  he 
sent  unto  him  the  elders  of  the  Jews, 
beseeching  him  that  he  would  come 
and  heal  his  servant. 

4  And  when  they  came  to  Jesus, 
they  besought  him  instantly,  saying. 
That  he  was  worthy  for  whom  he 
should  do  this: 

5  For  he  loveth  our  nation,  and  he 
hath  built  us  a  synagogue. 

6  Then  Jesus  went  with  them.  And 
when  he  was  now  not  far  from  the 
house,  the  centurion  sent  friends  to 
him,  saying  unto  him.  Lord,  trouble 
not  thyself;  for  I  am  not  worthy  that 
thou  shouldest  enter  under  my  roof; 

7  Wherefore  neither  thought  I  my- 
self worthy  to  come  unto  thee:  but  say 
in  a  word,  and  my  servant  shall  be 
healed. 

8  For  I  also  am  a  man  set  under 
authority,  having  under  me  soldiers,, 
and  I  say  unto  one.  Go,  and  he  goeth; 
and  to  another,  Come,  and  he  cometh; 
and  to  my  servant,  Do  this,  and  he 
doeth  it. 

9  When  Jesus  heard  these  things, 
he  marvelled  at  him,  and  turned  him 
about,  and  said  unto  the  people  that 
followed  him,  I  say  unto  you,  I  have 
not  found  so  great  faith,  no,  not  in 
Israel. 

10  And  they  that  were  sent,  return- 
ing to  the  house,  cfound  the  servant 
whole  that  had  been  sick. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass  the  day  af- 
ter, that  he  went  into  a  city  called 
Nain;  and  many  of  his  disciples  went 
with  him,  and  much  people. 

12  Now  when  he  came  nigh  to  the 
gate  of  the  city,  behold,  there  was  a 
dead    man    carried    out,    the   only   son

of  his  mother,  and  she  was  a  widow: 
and  much  people  of  the  city  was  with 
her. 

13  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her,  he 
had  compassion  on  her,  and  said  unto 
her.  Weep  not. 

14  And  he  came  and  touched  the

33  He  went  in  therefore,  and  shut 
the  door  upon  them  twain,  and  prayed 
unto  the  Lord. 

34  And  he  went  up,  and  lay  upon 
the  child,  and  put  his  mouth  upon  his 
mouth,  and  his  eyes  upon  his  eyes,  and 
his  hands  upon  his  hands:  and  he 
stretched  himself  upon  the  child;  and 
the  flesh  of  the  child  waxed  warm. 

35  Then  he  returned,  and  walked 
in  the  house  to  and  fro;  and  went  up. 
and  stretched  himself  upon  him:  and 
the  child  sneezed  seven  times,  and  the 
child  opened  his  eyes.

talked  with  Gehazi  the  servant  of  the 
man  of  God.  saying.  Tell  me,  I  pray 
thee,  all  the  great  things  that  Elisha 
hath  done. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was 
telling  the  king  how  he  had  restored 
a  dead  body  to  life,  that,  behold,  the 
woman,  whose  son  he  had  restored  to 
life,  cried  to  the  king  for  her  hous? 
and  for  her  land.  And  Gehazi  said, 
My  lord.  O  king,  this  is  the  woman, 
and  this  is  her  son,  whom  Elisha  re- 
stored to  life. 


19  And  John  calling  unto  him  t'wo 
of  his  disciples  sent  them  to  Jesus,  say- 
ing. Art  thou  fhe  that  should  come? 
or  look  we  for  another? 

20  When  the  men  were  come  unto 
him,  they  said,  John  Baptist  hath  sent 
us  unto  thee,  saying.  Art  thou  he  that 
should  come?  or  look  we  for  another? 

21  And  in  that  same  hour  he  cured 
many  of  their  infirmities  and  plagues, 
and  of  evil  spirits;  and  unto  many  that 
were  blind  he  gave  sight. 

22  Then  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
them.  Go  your  way,  and  tell  John  what 
things  ye  have  seen  and  heard,  ghow 
that  the  blind  see,  the  lame  walk,  the 
lepers  are  cleansed,  the  deaf  hear,  the

The  Baptist  was  a  Nazarite. 


unto  the  people  concerning  John,  What 
went  ye  out  into  the  wilderness  for 
to  see?  A  reed  shaken  with  the  wind? 

25  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see?  A  man  clothed  in  soft  raiment? 
Behold,  they  which  are  gorgeously  ap- 
paralled,  and  live  delicately,  are  in 
kings'  courts. 

26  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to 
see?  A  prophet?  Yea,  I  say  unto 
you,  and  much  more  than  a  prophet. 

27  This  is  he,  of  whom  it  is  writ- 
ten, iBehold,  I  send  my  messenger  be- 
fore thy  face,  which  shall  prepare  thy 
way  before  thee. 

28  For  I  say  unto  you.  Among 
those  that  are  born  of  women  there  is 
not  a  greater  prophet  than  John  the 
Baptist:  but  he  that  is  least  in  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  'greater  than  he.

that  do  wickedly  shall  be  stubble:  and 
the  day  that  cometh  shall  burn  them 
up,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  that  it 
shall  leave  them  neither  root  nor 
branch. 

ISAIAH  xxxv:5  gThen  [when 
Christ  came]  the  eyes  of  the  blind 
shall  be  opened,  and  the  ears  of  the 
deaf  shall  be  unstopped. 

6  Then  shall  the  lame  man  leap  as 
a  hart,  and  the  tongue  of  the  dumb 
sing:  for  in  the  wilderness  shall  waters 
break  out,  and  streams  in  the  desert. 

ISAIAH  LXI:1  hThe  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  God  is  upon  me  [Christ],  because 
he  hath  anointed  me  to  preach  good 
tidings  unto  the  meek;  he  hath  sent 
me  to  bind  up  the  broken  hearted,  to 
proclaim  liberty  to  the  captives,  and 
the  opening  of  the  prison  to  them  that 
are    bound.

'  Lord,    make    straight    in  the  desert  a 

highway  for  our  God.

of  the  Holy  Spirit  is  greater  than  John  the

him,  and  the  publicans,  justified  God, 
being  baptized  with  the  baptism  of 
John. 

30  But  the  Pharisees  and  lawyers 
rejected  the  counsel  of  God  against 
themselves,  being  not  baptized  of 
him. 

31  And  the  Lord  said,  Whereunto 
then  shall  I  liken  the  men  of  this  gen- 
eration? and  to  what  are  they  like? 

32  They  are  like  unto  children  sit- 
ting in  the  marketplace,  and  calling 
one  to  another,  and  saying.  We  have 
piped  unto  you,  and  ye  have  not 
danced;  we  have  mourned  to  you,  and 
ye  have  not  wept. 

33  For  John  the  Baptist  came 
tneither  eating  bread  nor  drinking 
wine;   and  ye  say.  He  hath  a  devil. 

34  The  Son  of  man  is  come  eating 
and  drinking;   and  ye  say,  JBehold  a 

t  John  the  Baptist  was  a  Nazarite;  hence  he 
was  governed  by  the  following  restrictions: 

Numbers  v:  3  He  shall  separate  himself  from 
wine  and  strong  drink,  and  shall  drink  no  vine- 
gar of  wine,  or  vinegar  of  strong  drink,  neither 
shall  he  drink  any  liquor  of  grapes,  nor  eat 
moist  grapes,  or  dried. 

t  Jesus  Christ  was  not  a  Nazarite,  neither  was 
he  a  glutton  and  drunkard,  for  such  were  crimi- 
nals, as  stated  in  the  Law  as  follows: 

Deuteronomy  xxi:18  If  a  man  have  a  stubborn 
and  rebellious  son.  which  will  not  obey  the 
voice  of  his  father,  or  the  voice  of  his  mother, 
and  that,  when  they  have  chastened  him,  will 
not  hearken  unto  them: 

19  Then  shall  his  father  and  his  mother  lay 
hold  on  him,  and  bring  him  out  unto  the  elders. 
of  his  city,  and  unto  the  gate  of  his  place; 

20  And  they  shall  say  unto  the  elders  of  his 
city.  This  our  son  is  stubborn  and  rebellious, 
he  will  not  obey  our  voice;  he  is  a  glutton,  and 
a  drunkard. 

21  And  all  the  men  of  his  city  shall  stone  him 
with  stones,  that  he  die:  so  shalt  thou  put  evil 
away  from  among  you ;  and  all  Israel  shall  hear 
and  fear. 

22  And  if  a  man  have  committed  a  sin  worthy 
of  death,  and  he  be  to  be  put  to  death,  and  thou 
hang  him  on  a  tree. 

Proverbs  xxiii:  20  Be  not  among  wine-bib- 
bers; among  riotous  eaters  of  flesh: 

21  For  the  drunkard  and  the  glutton  shall 
come  to  poverty:  and  drowsiness  shall  clothe  a 
man  with  rags. 

We  have  no  evidence  that  Christ  ever  put  to 
his  lips  an  intoxicating  beverage.  But  we  do 
believe  that  he  drank  unfermented  wine;  but 
John  being  a  Nazarite  did  not.  Isaiah  says  of 
the  son  of  the  virgin  in  chapter  vii, 

15  Butter  and  honey  shall  he  eat,  that  he  may 
know  to  refuse  the  evil  and  choose  the  good. 

To  drink  intoxicating  liquor  would  be  to 
choose  the  bad.

35  But  wisdom  is  justified  of  all 
her  children. 

36  And  one  of  the  Pharisees  de- 
sired him  that  he  would  eat  with 
him.  And  he  went  into  the  Pharisee's 
house,  and  sat  down  to  meat. 

37  And,  behold,  a  woman  in  the 
city,  which  was  a  sinner,  when  she 
knew  that  Jesus  sat  at  meat  in  the 
Pharisee's  house,  brought  an  alabaster 
box  of  ointment, 

38  And  stood  at  his  feet  behind 
him  weeping,  and  began  to  wash  his 
feet  jwith  tears,  and  did  wipe  them 
with  the  hairs  of  her  head,  and  kissed 
his  feet,  and  anointed  them  with  the 
ointment.

had  bidden  him  saw  it,  he  spake  with- 
in himself,  saying.  This  man,  if  he 
were  a  prophet,  would  have  known 
who  and  what  manner  of  woman  this 
is  that  toucheth  him;  for  she  is  a  sin- 
ner.

him,  Simon,  I  have  somewhat  to  say 
unto  thee.  And  he  saith,  Master,  say 
on.

II.  KINGS  XX :  4  JAnd  it  came  to 
pass,  afore  Isaiah  was  gone  out  into 
the  middle  court,  that  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  to  him,  saying, 

5  Turn  again,  and  tell  Hezekiah 
the  captain  of  my  people,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  David  thy  fa- 
ther, I  have  heard  thy  prayer,  I  have 
seen  thy  tears:  behold,  I  will  heal 
thee:  on  the  third  day  thou  shalt  go 
up  unto  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

PSALM  cxvii:8    For  thou  hast  de- 


rive hundred  pence,  and  the  other  fifty. 

42  And  when  they  had  nothing  to 
pay,  he  kfrankly  forgave  them  both. 
Tell  me  therefore,  which  of  them  will 
love  him  most? 

43  Simon  answered  and  said,  I  sup- 
pose that  he,  to  whom  he  forgave 
most.  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thou 
hast  rightly  judged. 

44  And  he  turned  to  the  woman, 
and  said  unto  Simon,  Seest  thou  this 
woman?  I  entered  into  thine  house, 
thou  gavest  me  no  water  for  my  feet: 
but  she  hath  washed  my  feet  with 
tears,  and  wiped  them  with  the  hairs 
of  her  head. 

45  Thou  gavest  me  no  kiss:  but 
this  woman,  since  the  time  I  came  in, 
hath  not  ceased  to  kiss  my  feet. 

46  iMy  head  with  oil  thou  didst  not 
anoint:  but  this  woman  hath  anoint- 
ed my  feet  with  ointment. 

47  Wherefore  I  say  unto  thee, 
mHer  sins,  which  are  many,  are  for- 
given; for  she  loved  much:  but  to 
whom  little  is  forgiven,  the  same  lov- 
eth  little.

CHAPTER  VIIL 

Women  minister  unto  Jesus.  4  Parable  of 
the  sower.  19  The  obedient  are  his  mother  and 
his  brethren.  22  He  calmed  the  wind  and  sea. 
26  Jesus  cast  out  of  a  man  a  legion  of  devils, 
and  suffered  them  to  enter  swine.  49  He  re- 
stored to  life  Jairus'  dautfhter. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass  afterward, 
that  he  went  throughout  every  city 
and  village,  preaching  and  shewing 
the  glad  tidings  of  the  kingdom  of 
God:  and  the  twelve  were  with  him, 

2  And  certain  women,  which  had 
been  healed  of  evil  spirits  and  infirmi- 
ties, Mary  called  Magdalene,  out  of 
whom  went  seven  devils, 

3  And  Joanna  the  wife  of  Chiiza 
Herod's  steward,  and  Susanna,  and 
many  others,  which  ministered  unto 
him  of  their  substance. 

4  And  when  much  people  were 
gathered  together,  and  were  come  to 
him  out  of  every  city,  he  spake  by  a 
parable: 

shall  make  an  atonement  for  him  for 
his  sin  whicn  he  hath  sinned,  and  it 
shall  be  forgiven  him. 

LEVITICUS  xix:22  And  the  priest 
shall  make  an  atonement  for  him  with 
the  ram  of  the  trespass  offering  before 
the  Lord  for  his  sin  which  he  hath 
done;  and  the  sin  which  he  hath  done 
shall  be  forgiven  him. 

PSALM  cxxx:3  If  thou,  Lord, 
shouldest  mark  iniquities,  O  Lord, 
who  shall  stand? 

4  But  there  is  forgiveness  with 
thee,  that  thou  mayest  be  feared. 

DANIEL  ix:8  O  Lord,  to  us  be- 
longeth  confusion  of  face,  to  our 
kings,  to  our  princes,  and  to  our  fa- 
thers, because  we  have  sinned  against 
thee. 

9  To  the  Lord  our  God  belong  mer- 
cies and  forgivenesses,  though  we  have 
rebelled  against  him; 

GENESIS  xv:8  nAnd  he  [Abraham] 
said.  Lord  God,  whereby  shall  I  know 
that  I  shall  inherit  it? 

9  And  he  said  unto  him.  Take  me 
a  heifer  of  three  years  old,  and  a  she 
goat  of  three  years  old,  and  a  ram  of 
three  years  old,  and  a  turtledove,  and 
a  young  pigeon. 


5  A  sower  went  out  to  sow  his 
seed:  and  as  he  sowed,  some  fell  by  the 
way  side;  and  it  was  trodden  down, 
nand  the  fowls  of  the  air  devoured  it. 

6  And  some  fell  upon  a  rock;  and 
as  soon  as  it  was  sprung  up,  it  with- 
ered away,  uecause  it  lacked  moisture. 

7  And  some  of  ell  among  thorns; 
and  the  thorns  sprang  up  with  it,  and 
choked   it. 

8  And  other  fell  on  good  ground, 
and  sprang  up,  and  bare  fruit  a  phun- 
dred  fold.  And  when  he  had  said 
these  things,  he  cried,  He  that  hath 
ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear. 

9  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  say- 
ing. What  might  this  parable  be? 

10  And  he  said.  Unto  you  it  is  given 
to  know  the  mysteries  of  the  kingdom 
of  God:  but  to  others  in  parables; 
qThat  seeing  they  might  not  see,  and 
hearing  they  might  not  understand. 

11  Now  the  parable  is  this:  The 
seed  is  the  rword  of  God. 

10  And  he  took  unto  him  all  thess, 
and  divided  them  in  the  midst,  and 
laid  each  piece  one  against  another: 
but  the  birds  divided  he  not. 

11  And  when  the  fowls  came  down 
upon  the  carcasses,  Abram  drove  them 
away. 

PROVERBS  xv:19  oThe  way  of  the 
slothful  man  is  as  a  hedge  of  thorns: 
but  the  way  of  the  righteous  is  made 
plain. 

JEREMIAH  iv:3  For  thus  saith  the 
Lord  to  the  men  of  Judah  and  Jerusa- 
lem, Break  up  your  fallow  ground, 
and  sow  not  among  thorns. 

GENESIS  xxvi:12  pThen  Isaac 
sowed  in  that  land,  and  received  in  the 
same  year  h  huhdredfold:  and  the  Lord 
blessed  him. 

ISAIAH  vi:9  qAnd  he  [the  Lord] 
said,  [to  Isaiah],  Go,  and  tell  this  peo- 
ple, Hear  ye  indeed,  but  understand 
not;  and  see  ye  indeed,  but  perceive 
not. 

10  Make  the  heart  of  this  people 
fat,  and  make  their  ears  heavy,  and 
shut  their  eyes;  lest  they  see  with  their 
eyes,  and  hear  with  thsir  ears,  and 
understand  with  their  heart,  and  con- 
vert, and  be  healed.

12  Those  by  the  way  side  are  they 
that  hear;  then  scometh  the  devil,  and 
taketh  away  the  word  out  of  their 
hearts,  lest  they  should  believe  and  be 
saved. 

13  They  on  the  rock  are  they, 
wliich,  when  they  hear,  receive  the 
word  with  joy;  and  these  have  no  root, 
which  for  a  while  believe,  and  in  time 
of  temptation  fall  away. 

14  And  that  which  fell  among 
thorns  are  they,  which,  when  they  have 
heard,  go  forth,  and  are  choked  with 
tcares  and  riches  and  pleasures  of  this 
life,  and  bring  no  fruit  to  perfection. 

15  But  that  on  the  good  ground  are 
they,  which  in  an  honest  and  good 
heart,  having  heard  the  word,  keep  it, 
and  bring  forth  fruit  with  patience.

putteth  it  under  a  bed;  but  setteth  it

JEREMIAH  v:21  Hear  now  this, 
O  foolish  people,  and  without  under- 
standing: which  have  eyes,  and  see 
not;  which  have  ears,  and  hear  not: 

EZEKIEL  xii:2  Son  of  man,  thou 
dwellest  in  the  midst  of  a  rebellious 
house,  which  have  eyes  to  see,  and  see 
not;  they  have  ears  to  hear,  and  hear 
not:   for  they  are  a  rebellious  house. 

EXODUS  XX  :1  rAnd  God  spake 
all  these  words,  saying, 

2  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
have  brought  thee  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  out  of  the  house  of  bondage 

EXODUS  XXV:  1  And  the  Lord 
spake  unto  Moses,  saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  chiLlren  of  Israel, 
that  they  bring  me  an  offering:  of  ev- 
ery man  that  giveth  it  willingly  with 
his  heart  ye  shall  take  my  offering. 

ZECHARIAH  1:1  In  the  eighth 
month,  in  the  second  year  of  Darius, 
came  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Zech- 
ariah,  the  son  of  Berechiah,  the  son  of 
Iddo  the  prophet,  saying. 

2  The  Lord  hath  been  sore  dis- 
pleased with  your  fathers. 


not  be  made  manifest;  neither  any 
thing  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known  and 
come  abroad. 

18  Take  heed  therefore  how  ye 
hear:  for  whosoever  hath,  to  him  shall 
be  given;  and  whosoever  hath  not, 
from  him  shall  be  taken  even  that 
which  he  seemeth  to  have. 

19  Then  came  to  him  his  mother 
and  his  brethren,  and  could  not  come 
at  him   for  the  press. 

20  And  it  was  told  him  by  certain 
which  said.  Thy  mother  and  thy  breth- 
ren stand  without,  desiring  to  see  thee. 

21  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  My  mother  and  my  brethren  are 
these  which  hear  the  word  of  God, 
and  do  it. 

22  Now  it  came  to  pass  on  a  cer- 
tain day,  that  he  went  into  a  ship 
with  his  disciples:  and  he  said  unto 
them.  Let  us  go  over  unto  the  other 
side  of  the  lake.  And  they  launched 
forth. 

23  But  as  they  sailed,  he  fell  asleep: 

JOB  i:6  sNow  there  was  a  day  when 
the  sons  of  God  came  to  present  them- 
selves before  the  Lord,  and  Satan  came 
also  among  them. 

PSALM  xlix:  16  tBe  not  thou  afraid 
when  one  is  made  rich,  when  the  glory 
of  his  house  is  increased; 

17  For  when  he  dieth  he  shall 
carry  nothing  away:  his  glory  shall 
not  descend  after  him. 

PROVERBS  xiii:7  There  is  that 
maketh  himself  rich,  yet  hath  nothing: 
there  is  that  maketh  himself  poor,  yet

and  there  came  down  a  storm  of  wind 
'on  the  lake;  and  they  were  filled  with 
water,   and  were   In  jeopardy. 

24  And  they  came  to  him,  and 
awoke  him,  saying.  Master,  Master,  we 
perish.  Then  he  arose,  and  urebuked 
the  wind  and  the  raging  of  the  water: 
and  they  ceased,  and  there  was  a  calm. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them.  Where 
is  your  faith?  And  vthey  being  afraid 
wondered,  saying  one  to  another. 
What  manner  of  man  is  this!  for  he 
commandeth  even  the  winds  and  wa- 
ter, and  they  obey  him. 

26  And  they  arrived  at  the  coun- 
try of  the  Gadarenes,  which  is  over 
against  Galilee. 

27  And  when  he  went  forth  to  land, 
there  met  him  out  of  the  city  a  cer- 
tain man,  which  had  devils  long  time, 
and  ware  no  clothes,  neither  abode  in 
any  house,  but  in  the  tombs. 

28  When  he  saw  Jesus,  he  cried 
out,  and  fell  down  before  him,  and 
with  a  loud  voice  said.  What  have  I 
to  do  with  thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of 
God  most  high?  I  beseech  thee,  tor- 
ment me  not. 

PSALM  lxv:7  Which  stilleth  the 
noise  of  the  seas,  the  noise  of  their 
waves,  and  the  tumult  of  the  people. 

PSALM  lxxxix:9  Thou  rulest  the 
raging  of  the  sea:  when  the  waves 
thereof  arise,  thou  stillest  them. 

PSALM  cvii:29  He  maketh  the 
storm  a  calm,  so  that  the  waves  there- 
of are  still. 

NAHUM  1:4  He  rebuketh  the  sea, 
and  maketh  it  dry,  and  drieth  up  all 
the  rivers:  Bashan  languisheth,  and 
Carmel,  and  the  flower  of  Lebanon 
languisheth. 

PSALM  xxxiii:8  vLet  all  the  earth 
fear  the  Lord:  let  all  the  inhabitants 
of  the  world  stand  in  awe  of  him. 

9  For  he  spake,  and  it  was  done; 
he  commanded,  and  it  stood  fast. 

LEVITICUS  xi:7  wAnd  the  swine, 
though  he  divide  the  hoof,  and  be  clo- 
venfooted,  yet  he  cheweth  not  the 
cud;  he  is  unclean  to  you. 

8    Of    their    flesh    shall  ye  not  eat. 


29  (For  he  had  commanded  the  un- 
clean spirit  to  come  out  of  the  man. 
For  oftentimes  it  had  caught  him: 
and  he  was  kept  bound  with  chains 
and  in  fetters;  and  he  brake  the 
bands,  and  was  driven  of  the  devil  in- 
to the  wilderness.) 

30  And  Jesus  asked  him,  saying. 
What  is  thy  name?  And  he  said,  *Le- 
gion:  because  many  devils  were 
entered  into  him. 

31  And  they  besought  him  that  he 
would  not  command  them  to  go  out 
into  the  deep. 

32  wAnd  there  was  there  a  herd  of 
many  swine  feeding  on  the  mountain: 
and  they  besought  him  that  he  would 
suffer  them  to  enter  into  them.  xAnd 
he  suffered  them. 

33  Then  went  the  devils  out  of  the 
man,  and  entered  into  the  swine:  and 
the  herd  ran  violently  down  a  steep 
place  into  the  lake,  and  were  choked. 

34  When  they  that  fed  them  saw 
what  was  done,  they  fled,  and  went 
and  told  it  in  the  city  and  in  the 
country. 

and  their  carcass  shall  ye  not  touch; 
they  are  unclean  to  you. 

DEUTERONOMY  xiv:8  And  the

yet  cheweth  not  the  cud,  it  is  unclean 
unto  you:  ye  shall  not  eat  of  their 
flesh,  nor  touch  their  dead  carcass. 

JOB  i:12  xAnd  the  Lord  said  unto 
Satan.  Behold,  all  that  he  [Job]  hath  is

35  Then  they  went  out  to  see  what 
was  done;  and  came  to  Jesus,  and 
found  the  man,  out  of  whom  the  dev- 
ils were  departed,  sitting  at  the  feet 
of  Jesus,  clothed,  and  in  his  right 
mind:   and  they  were  afraid. 

36  They  also  which  saw  it  told 
them  by  what  means  he  that  was  pos- 
sessed of  the  devils  was  healed. 

37  Then  the  whole  multitude  of  the 
country  of  tthe  Gadarenes  round  about 
besought  him  to  ydepart  from  them; 
for  they  were  taken  with  great  fear: 
and  he  went  up  into  the  ship,  and  re- 
turned back  again. 

38  Now  the  man,  out  of  whom  the 
devils  were  departed,  zbesought  him 
that  he  might  be  wilh  him:  but  Jesus 
sent  him  away,  saying, 

39  Return  to  thine  own  house,  and 
shew  how  great  things  God  hath  done 
unto  thee.  And  he  went  his  way,  and 
published  throughout  the  whole  city 
how  great  things  Jesus  had  done  unto 
him. 

showed  us  his  glory  and  his  greatness, 
and  we  have  heard  his  voice  out  of  the 
midst  of  the  fire:  we  have  seen  this 
day  that  God  doth  talk  with  man,  and 
he  liveth. 

25  Now  therefore  why  should  we 
die?  for  this  great  fire  will  consume 
us:  if  we  hear  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
our  God  any  more,  then  we  shall  die. 

JOB  xxi:14  Therefore  they  say  un- 
to God,  Depart  from  us;  for  we  desire 
not  the  knowledge  of  thy  ways. 

15  What  is  the  Almighty,  that  we 
should  serve  him?  and  what  profit 
should  we  have,  if  we  pray  unto  him? 

PSALM  CIII:1  zBless  the  Lord,  O 
my  soul:  and  all  that  is  within  me, 
bless  his  holy  name. 

2    Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul,  and 
forget  not  all  his  benefits: 

PSALM  cxvi:12  What  shall  I  ren- 
der unto  the  Lord  for  all  his  benefits 
toward  me? 

tThe  Gadarenes  valued  their  hops  more  than 
they  did  the  gracious  work  of  Christ. 


40  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
Jesus  was  returned,  the  people  gladly 
received  him:  for  they  were  all  wait- 
ing for  him. 

41  And,  behold,  there  came  a  man 
named  Jairus,  and  he  w^s  a  ruler  of 
the  synagogue;  and  }ie  fejl  down  at 
Jesus'  feet,  and  besought  hii)?  that  he 
would  come  into  his  house: 

42  For  he  had  one  only  daughter, 
about  twelve  years  of  age,  and  she  lay  i 
a  dying.     But    as  he  went  the  people 
thronged  him, 

43  rAnd  a  woman  having  an  issue 
of  blood  twelve  years,  which  had  spent 
all  her  living  upon  sphysicians,  neith- 
er could  be  healed  of  any, 

44  Came  behind  him,  and  touched 
the  border  of  his  garment:  and  imme- 
diately her  issue  of  flood  stanched. 

45  And  Jesus  said,  Who  touched 
me?  When  all  denied,  Peter  and  they 
that  were  with  him  said.  Master,  the 
multitude  throng  thee  and  press  thee, 
and  sayest  thou.  Who  touched  me? 

46  And  Jesus  said.  Somebody  hath 

13  I  will  take  the  cup  of  salvation, 
and  call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

LEVITICUS  xv:25  rAnd  if  a  wo- 
man have  an  issue  of  her  blood  many 
days  out  of  the  time  of  her  separation, 
or  if  it  run  beyond  the  time  of  her 
separation;  all  the  days  of  the  issue 
of  her  uncleanness  shall  be  as  the 
days  of  her  separation:  she  shall  be 
unclean. 

28  But  if  she  be  cleansed  of  her 
issue,  then  she  shall  number  to  her- 
self seven  days,  and  after  that  she 
shall  be  clean. 

29  And  on  the  eighth  day  she  shall 
take  unto  her  two  turtles,  or  two 
young  pigeons,  and  bring  them  unto 
the  priest,  to  the  door  of  the  taber- 
nacle of  the  congregation. 

30  And  the  priest  shall  offer  the 
one  for  a  sin  offering,  and  the  other 
for  a  burnt  offering;  and  the  priest 
shall  make  an  atonement  for  her  be-

cleanness.

touched  me:  for  I  perceive  that  virtue 
is  gone  out  of  me. 

47  And  when  the  woman  saw  that 
she  was  not  hid,  she  came  trembling, 
and  falling  down  before  him,  she  de- 
clared unto  him  before  all  the  people 
for  what  cause  she  had  touched  him, 

and  how  she  was  thealed  immediately. 

48  And  he  said  unto  her.  Daughter, 
be  of  good  comfort;  thy  faith  hath 
made  thee  whole;  go  in  peace. 

49  While  he  yet  spake,  there  cometh 
one  from  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue's 
house,  saying  to  him.  Thy  daughter  is 
dead;  trouble  not  the  Master. 

50  But  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  an- 
swered him,  saying.  Fear  no':  ubelieve 
only,  and  she  shall  be  made  whole. 

51  And  when  he  came  into  the 
house,  he  suffered  no  man  to  go  in, 
save  Peter,  and  James,  and  John,  and 
the  father  and  the  mother  of  the 
maiden. 

52  And  all  wept,  and  bewailed  her: 
but  he  said.  Weep  not;  she  is  not  dead, 
but  sleepeth. 

53  And  they  laughed  him  to  scorn, 
knowing  that  she  was  dead. 

54  And  he  put  them  all  out,  and 
took  her  by  the  hand,  and  called,  say- 
ing. Maid,  arise.

to  his  commandments,  and  keep  all 
his  statutes,  I  will  put  none  of  these 
diseases  upon  thee,  which  I  have

ples together,  and  gave  them  power 
and  authority  over  all  devils,  and  to 
cure  diseases. 

2  And  he  sent  them  to  preach  the 
kingdom  of  God,  and  to  heal  the  sick. 

3  And  he  said  unto  them,  vTake 
nothing  for  your  journey,  neither 
staves,  nor  scrip,  neither  bread,  neith- 
er money;  neither  have  two  coats  a- 
piece. 

4  And  whatsoever  house  ye  enter 
into,  there  abide,  and  thence  depart. 

5  And  whosoever  will  not  receive 
you,  when  ye  go  out  of  that  city,  shake 
off  the  very  dust  from  your  feet  for  a 
testimony  against  them. 

6  And  they  departed,  and  went 
through  the  towns,  preaching  the  gos-

pel,  and  healing  every  where. 

7  Now  Herod  the  tetrarch  heard  of 
all  that  was  done  by  him:  and  he  was 
perple.xed,  because  that  it  was  said  of 
some,  that  John  was  risen  from  the 
dead ; 

8  And  of  some,  wthat  Elijah  had 
appeared;  and  of  others,  that  one  of 
the  old  prophets  was  risen  again. 

9  And  Herod  said,  John  have  I  be- 
headed; but  who  is  this,  of  whom  1 
hear  such  things?  And  he  desired  to 
see  him. 

10  And  the  apostles,  when  they 
were  returned,  told  him  all  that  they 
had  done.  And  he  took  them,  and 
went  aside  privately  Into  a  desert 
place  belonging  to  the  city  called  Beth- 
saida. 

11  And  the  people,  when  they  knew 
it,  followed  him:  and  he  received  them, 
and  spake  unto  them  of  the  kingdom 
of  God,  and  healed  them  that  had  need 
of  healing. 

12  And  when  the  day  began  to  wear 
away,  then  came  the  twelve,  and  said 
unto  him,  Send  the  multitude  away, 
that  they  may  go  into  the  towns  and 
country  round  about,  and  lodge,  and 
get  victuals:  for  we  are  here  in  a  de- 
sert place. 

13  But  he  said  unto  them,  xGive  ye 
them  to  eat.  And  they  said.  We  have 
no  more  but  five  loaves  and  two  fishes; 
except  we  should  go  and  buy  meat  for 
all  this  people. 

should  I  set  this  before  a  hundred 
men?  He  said  again,  Give  the  peo- 
ple, that  they  may  eat:  for  thus  saith 
the  Lord,  They  shall  eat,  and  shall 
leave  thereof. 

NUMBERS  xi:21  yAnd  Moses  said. 
The  people,  among  whom  I  am,  are 
six  hundred  thousand  footmen;  and 
thou  hast  said.  I  will  give  them  flesh. 
that  they  may  eat  a  whole  month. 

22  Shall  the  flocks  and  the  hords 
be  slain  for  them,  to  suffice  them?  or 
shall  all  the  fish  of  the  sea  be  gath- 
ered together  for  them,  to  suffice 
them? 


14  For  they  were  about  yflve  thou- 
sand men.  And  he  said  to  his  disci- 
ples. Make  them  sit  down  by  fifties  in 
a  company. 

15  And  they  did  so,  and  made  them 
all  sit  down. 

16  Then  he  took  the  five  loaves  and 
the  two  fishes,  and  looking  up  to  heav- 
en, he  blessed  them,  and  brake,  and 
gave  to  the  disciples  to  set  before  the 
multitude. 

17  And  they  zdid  eat,  and  were  all 
filled:  and  there  was  taken  up  of  frag- 
ments that  remained  to  them  twelve 
baskets. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was 
alone  praying,  his  disciples  were  with 
him;  and  he  asked  them,  saying. 
Whom  say  the  people  that  I  am? 

19  They  answering  said,  John  the 
Baptist;  but  some  say,  Elijah;  and 
others  say,  that  one  of  the  old  pro- 
phets is  risen  again. 

20  He  said  unto  them.  But  whom 
say  ye  that  I  am?  Peter  answering 
said.  The  Christ  of  God. 

21  And  he  straitly  charged  them, 
and  commanded  them  to  tell  no  man 
that  thing; 

22  Saying,  The  Son  of  man  must 
suffer  many  things,  and  be  rejected  of 
the  elders  and  chief  priests  and 
scribes,  and  be  slain,  and  be  raised  the 
third  day. 

23  And  he  said  to  them  all,  If  any 
man  will  come  after  me,  let  him  deny 

PSALM  cxlv:15  zThe  eyes  of  all 
wait  upon  thee;  and  thou  givest  them

satisfiest  the  desire  of  every  living 
thing. 

EXODUS  xxxiv:29  aAnd  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Moses  came  down  from 
mount  Sinai  with  the  two  tables 
of  testimony  in  Moses'  hand,  when  he 
came  down  from  the  mount,  that 
Moses  wist  not  that  the  skin  of  his

himself,  and  take  up  his  cross  daily, 
and  follow  me. 

24  For  whosoever  will  save  his  life 
shall  lose  it:  but  whosoever  will  lose 
his  life  for  my  sake,  the  same  shall 

save  it. 

25  For  what  is  a  man  advantaged, 
if  he  gain  the  whole  world,  and  lose 
himself,  or  be  cast  away? 

26  For  whosoever  shall  be  ashamed 
of  me  and  of  my  words,  of  him  shall 
the  Son  of  man  be  ashamed,  when  he 
shall  come  in  his  own  glory,  and  in  his 
Father's,  and  of  the  holy  angels. 

27  But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth,  there  be 
some  standing  here,  which  shall  not 
taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the  king- 
dom of  God. 

28  And  it  came  to  pass  about  an 
eight  days  after  these  sayings,  he 
took  Peter  and  John  and  James,  and 
went  up  into  a  mountain  to  pi-ay. 

29  And  as  he  prayed,  the  afash- 
ion  of  his  countenance  was  altered, 
and  his  raiment  was  white  and  glis- 
tering. 

30  And,  behold,  there  talked  with 
him  two  men,  which  were  bMoses  and 
cElijah: 

31  Who  appeared  in  glory,  and 
spake  of  his  decease  which  he  should 
accomplish  at  Jerusalem. 

32  But  Peter  and  they  that  were 
with  him  dwere  heavy  with  sleep:  and 
when  they  were  awake,  they  saw  his 

Moses'  face  shone:  and  Moses  put  the 
vail  upon  his  face  again,  until  he  went 
in  to  speak  with  him.  [God] 

IL  KINGS  ii:ll  bAnd  it  came  to 
pass,  as  they  still  went  on,  and  talked, 
that,  behold,  there  appeared  a  chariot 
of  fire,  and  horses  of  fire,  and  parted 
them  both  asunder;  and  Elijah  went 
up  by  a  whirlwind  into  heaven. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxxiv:5  cSo  Mo- 
ses the  servant  of  the  Lord  died  there 
in  *ue  land  of  Moab,  according  to  the 
word  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  he  buried  him  in  a  valley  in 
the  land  of  Moab,  over  against  Beth- 
peor:  but  no  man  knoweth  of  his  sep- 


glory,     and     the  two  men  that  stood 
with  him. 

33  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
departed  from  him,  Peter  said  unto 
Jesus,  Master,  it  is  good  for  us  to 
be  here:  and  let  us  make  three  taber- 
nacles; one  for  thee,  and  one  for 
Moses,  and  one  for  Elijah:  not  know- 
ing what  he  said. 

34  While  he  thus  spake,  there 
came  a  cloud,  and  overshadowed 
them:  and  they  feared  as  they  entered 
into  the  cloud. 

35  And  there  came  a  voice  out  of 
the  cloud,  saying,  eThis  is  my  beloved 
Son:  hear  him. 

36  And  when  the  voice  was  past, 
Jesus  was  found  alone.  And  they 
kept  it  close,  and  told  no  man  in  those 
days  any  of  those  things  which  they 
had  seen. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on 
the  next  day,  when  they  were  come 
down  from  the  hill,  much  people  met 
him. 

38  And,  behold,  a  man  of  the  com- 
pany cried  out,  saying,  Master,  I  be- 
seech thee,  look  upon  my  son;,  for  he 
is  mine  only  child. 

39  And,  lo,  a  spirit  taketh  him, 
and  he  suddenly  crieth  out;  and  it 
teareth  him  that  he  foameth  again, 
and  bruising  him,  hardly  departeth 
from  him. 

40  And  I  besought  thy  disciples  to 

ulchre  unto  this  day. 

DANIEL  viii:18  dNow  as  he  was 
speaking  with  me  [Daniel],  I  was  in 
a  deep  sleep  on  my  face  toward  the 
ground:  but  he  touched  me,  and  set 
me  upright. 

19  And  he  said.  Behold,  I  will  make 
thee  know  what  shall  be  in  the  last 
end  of  the  indignation:  for  at  the  time 
appointed  the  end  shall  be.

I  in  a  deep  sleep  on  my  face,  and  my 
face  toward  the  ground.

cast  him  out;   and  they  could  not. 

41  And  Jesus  answering  said.  0 
faithless  and  perverse  generation,  how 
long  shall  I  be  with  you,  and  suffer 
you?     Bring  thy  son  hither. 

42  And  as  he  was  yet  a  coming, 
the  devil  threw  him  down,  and  tare 
him.  And  Jesus  rebuked  the  unclean 
spirit,  and  healed  the  child,  and  de- 
livered him  again  to  his  father. 

43  And  they  were  all  amazed  at 
the  mighty  power  of  God.  But  while 
they  wondered  every  one  at  all  things 
which  Jesus  did,  he  said  unto  his  dis- 
ciples, 

44  Let  these  sayings  sink  down  in- 
to your  ears:  for  fthe  Son  of  man 
shall  be  delivered  into  the  hands  of 
men. 

45  But  they  understood  not  this 
saying,  and  it  was  hid  from  them, 
that  they  perceived  it  not:  and  they 
feared  to  ask  of  him  that  saying. 

46  Then  there  arose  a  reasoning 
among  them,  which  of  them  should 
be  'greatest. 

47  And  Jesus,  perceiving  the 
thought  of  their  heart,  took  a  child, 
and  set  him  by  him. 

48  And  said  unto  them.  Who- 
soever shall  receive  this  child  in  my 
name  receiveth  me;  and  whosoever 
shall  receive  me,  receiveth  him  that 
sent     me:   for  he  that  is  least  among 

which  set  me  upon  my  knees  and  upon 
the  palms  of  my  hands. 

PSALM  ii:7  eThou  [Jesus]  art  my 
Son;  this  day  have  I  begotten  thee. 

PSALM  xxii:12  fMany  bulls  have 
compassed  me  [Jesus] ;  strong  bulls 
of  Bashan  nave  beset  me  round.

mouths,  as  a  ravening  and  a  roaring 
lion. 

NUMBERS  xi:28  gAnd  Joshua  the 
son  of  Nun,  the  servant  of  Moses,  one 
of  his  young  men,  answered  and  said, 
My  Lord  Moses,  forbid  them.

*The  ureatest  is  the  most  humble,  like  Moses, 
John  the  Baptist  and  Christ. 


you  all,  the  same  shall  be  great. 

49  And  John  answered  and  said. 
Master,  gwe  saw  one  casting  out  de- 
vils in  thy  name;  and  we  forbade 
him,  because  he  followeth  not  with 
us. 

50  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  For- 
bid him  not:  for  he  that  is  not  against 
us  is  for  us. 

51  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
time  was  come  that  he  should  be  re- 
ceived up,  he  steadfastly  set  his  face 
to  go  to  Jerusalem. 

52  And  sent  messengers  before  his 
face:  and  they  went,  and  entered  in- 
to a  village  of  the  Samaritans,  to 
make  ready  for  him. 

53  And  they  did  not  receive  him, 
because  his  face  was  as  though  he 
would   go  to   Jerusalem. 

54  And  when  his  disciples  James 
and  John  saw  this,  they  said,  Lord, 
wilt  thou  that  we  command  fire  to 
come  down  from  heaven,  and  con- 
sume them,  even  has  Elijah  did? 

55  But  he  turned,  and  rebuked 
them,  and  said.  Ye  know  not  what 
manner  of  spirit  ye  are  of. 

56  For  the  Son  of  man  is  not  come 
to  destroy  men's  lives,  but  to  save 
them.  And  they  went  to  another  vil- 
lage. 

57  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
they  went  in  the  way,  a  certain  man 

viest  thou  for  my  sake?  would  God 
that  all  the  Lord's  people  were  pro- 
phets, and  that  the  Lord  would  put 
his  Spirit  upon  them. 

II.  KINGS  i:10  hAnd  Elijah  an- 
swered and  said  to  the  captain  of  fifty. 
If  I  be  a  man  of  God,  then  let  fire 
come  down  from  heaven,  and  consume 
thee  and  thy  fifty.  And  there  came 
down  fire  from  heaven,  and  consumed 
him  and  his  fifty. 

11  Again  also  he  sent  unto  him 
another  captain  of  fifty  with  his  fifty. 
And  he  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
O  man  of  God,  thus  hath  the  king 
said.  Come  down  quickly.

said  unto  him,  Lord,  I  will  follow  thee 
whithersoever   thou   goest. 

58  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Foxes 
have  holes,  and  birds  of  the  air  have 
nests;  but  the  Son  of  man  hath  not 
where  to  lay  his  head. 

59  And  he  said  unto  another,  Pol- 
low  me.  But  he  said,  Lord,  suffer  me 
first  to  go  and  bury  my  father. 

60  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Let  the 
dead  bury  their  dead:  but  go  thou 
and  preach  the  kingdom   of   God. 

61  And  another  also  said.  Lord,  il 
will  follow  thee;  but  let  me  first  go 
bid  them  farewell,  which  are  at  home 
at  my  house. 

62  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  No 
man,  having  put  his  hand  to  the 
plough,  and  looking  back,  is  fit  for 
the  kingdom  of  God. 

CHAPTER  X. 

Seventy  disciples  sent  out  to  preach.  17  The 
seventy  report  their  success.  21  Jesus  rejoiced 
for  the  divine  revelation  to  babes.  25  A  lawyers 
query.  How  to  inherit  eternallife.  33  The  Kood 
Samaritan.    38  Martha  and  Mary  contrasted. 

1  After  these  things  the  jLord  ap- 
pointed other  seventy  also,  and  sent 
them  two  and  two  before  his  face  into 

fire  come  down  from  heaven,  and  con- 
sume thee  and  thy  fifty.  And  the  fire 
of  God  came  down  from  heaven,  and 
consumed  him  and  his  fifty. 

L  KINGS  xix:20  iAnd  he  [Elisha] 
left  the  oxen,  and  ran  after  Elijah, 
and  said,  Let  me,  I  pray  thee,  kiss  my 
father  and  my  mother,  and  then  I  will 
follow  thee.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Go  back  again:  for  what  have  I  done 
to  thee? 

21  And  he  returned  back  from  him, 
and  took  a  yoke  of  oxen,  and  slew 
them,  and  boiled  their  flesh  with  the 
instruments  of  the  oxen,  and  gave  un- 
to the  people,  and  they  did  eat.  Then 
he  arose,  and  went  after  Elijah,  and 
ministered  unto  him.

every  city  and  place,  whither  he  him- 
self would  come. 

2  Therefore  said  he  unto  them.  The 
harvest  truly  is  great,  but  *the  labour- 
ers are  few:  pray  ye  therefore  the 
Lord  of  the  harvest,  that  he  would 
send  forth  labourers  into  his  harvest. 

3  Go  your  ways:  behold,  I  send  you 
forth  as  lambs  among  wolves. 

4  Carry  neither  purse,  nor  scrip, 
nor  shoes:  and  asalute  no  man  by  the 
way. 

5  And  into  whatsoever  house  ye 
enter,  first  say.  Peace  be  to  this  house. 

6  And  if  the  bson  of  peace  be  there,, 
your  peace  shall  rest  upon  it:  if  not, 
it  shall  turn  to  you  again. 

7  And  in  the  same  house  remain, 
eating  and  drinking  such  things '  as 
they  give:  for  the  labourer  is  worthy 
of  his  hire.  Go  not  from  house  to 
house. 

8  And  into  whatsoever  city  ye  en- 
ter, and  they  receive  you,  eat  such 
things  as  are  set  before  you: 

9  And  heal  the  sick  that  are  there- 
in, and  say  unto  them.  The  kingdom

barken  unto  thee;  for  they  will  not

Israel  are  impudent  and  hardhearted. 

JONAH  iii:5  eSo  the  people  of 
Nineveh  believed  God,  and  proclaimed 
a  fast,  and  put  on  sackcloth,  from  the 
greatest  of  them  even  to  the  least  of 
them. 

GENESIS  xi:4  fAnd  they  said.  Go 
to,  let  us  build  us  a  city,  and  a  tower, 
whose  top  may  reach  unto  heaven; 
and  let  us  make  us  a  name,  lest  we  be 
scattered  abroad  upon  the  face  of  the 
whole  eaj"th. 

5  .Vnd  the  Lord  came  down  to  see 
the  city  and  the  tower,  which  the  chil- 
dren of  men  builded. 

6  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold,  the 
people  is  one,  and  they  have  all  one 
language:  and  this  they  begin  to  do: 
and  now  nothing  will  be  restrained 
from  them,  which  they  have  imagined 
to  do. 

7  Go  to,  let  us  go  down,  and  there 
confound  their  language,  that  they 
may  not  understand  one  another's 
speech. 

8  So  the  Lord  scattered  them  abroad 
from  thence  upon  the  face  of  all  the

me;  and  he  that  despiscth  you  despis-

despisctli  him  that  sent  me. 

17  And  the  .seventy  returned  again 
with  joy,  saying.  Lord,  even  the  devils 
are  subject  unto  us  through  thy  name. 

18  And  he  said  unto  them,  I  be- 
held Satan  as  lightning  fall  from 
heaven. 

19  Behold,  I  give  unto  you  power 
to  tread  on  serpents  and  scorpions, 
and  over  all  the  power  of  the  enemy; 
and  nothing  shall  by  any  means  hurt 
you. 

20  Notwithstanding,  in  this  rejoice 
not,  that  the  spirits  are  subject  unto 
you;  but  rather  rejoice,  because  hyour 
names  are  written  in  heaven. 

21  In  that  hour  Jesus  rejoiced  in 
spirit,  and  said,  I  thank  thee,  O  Fath- 
er, Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  that  thou 
hast  hid  these  things  from  the  wise 
and    prudent,  and  hast  revealed  them 

earth:  and  they  left  off  to  build  the 
city. 

9  Therefore  is  the  name  of  it  called 
Babel;  because  the  Lord  did  there 
confound  the  language  of  all  the 
earth:  and  from  thence  did  the  Lord 
scatter  them  abroad  upon  the  face  of 
all  the  earth. 

ISAIAH  xiv:13  For  thou  hast  said 
in  thine  heart,  I  will  ascend  into  heav- 
en, I  will  exalt  my  throne  above  the 
stars  of  God:  I  will  sit  also  upon  the 
mount  of  the  congregation,  in  the 
sides  of  the  north:

should  mount  up  to  heaven,  and  though 
she  should  fortify  the  height  of  her 
strength,  yet  from  me  shall  spoilers

unto  *babes:  even  so,  Father;  for  so 
it  seemed  good  in  thy  sight. 

22  All  things  are  delivered  to  me 
of  my  Father:  and  no  man  knoweth 
who  the  Son  is,  but  the  Father;  and 
who  the  Father  is,  but  the  Son,  and 
he  to  whom  the  Son  will  reveal  him. 

23  And  he  turned  him  unto  his  dis- 
ciples, and  said  privately,  Blessed  are 
the  eyes  which  see  the  things  that 
ye  see: 

24  For  I  tell  you,  that  many  pro- 
phets and  kings  have  desired  to  see 
those  things  which  ye  see,  and  have 
not  seen  them;  and  to  hear  those 
things  which  ye  hear,  and  have  not 
heard  them. 

25  And,  behold,  a  certain  lawyer 
stood     up,     and  tempted  him,  saying, 

wail  for  the  multitude  of  Egypt,  and 
cast  them  down,  even  her,  and  the 
daughters  of  the  famous  nations,  unto

not,  blot  me,  I  pray  thee,  out  of  thy

33  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Whosoever  hath  sinned  against  me, 
him  will  I  blot  out  of  my  book. 

PSALM  lxix:28  Let  them  [sinners]

he  that  remaineth  in  Jerusalem,  shall

nal life? 

26  He  said  unto  him.  What  is  writ- 
ten in  the  law?  how  readest  thou? 

27  And  he  answering  said,  iThou 
Shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all

answered  right:  this  do,  and  kthou 
Shalt  live. 

29  But  he,  willing  to  justify  him- 
self, said  unto  Jesus,  And  who  is  my 
neighbour? 

30  And  Jesus  answering  said,  A 
certain  man  went  down  from  Jerusa- 
lem to  Jericho,  and  fell  among  thieves, 
which     stripped     him  of  his  raiment,

shall  live  in  them:   I  am  the  Lord.

and  wounded  him,  and  departed,  leav- 
ing him  half  dead. 

31  And  by  chance  there  came  down 
a  certain  ipriest  that  way;  and  when 
he  saw  him,  he  passed  by  on  the  other 
side. 

32  And  likewise  a  mLevite,  when 
he  was  at  the  place,  came  and  looked 
on  him,  and  passed  by  on  the  other 
side. 

33  But  a  certain  uSamaritan,  as  he 
journeyed,  came  where  he  was;  and 
when  he  saw  him,  he  had  compassion 
on  him, 

34  And  went  to  him,  and  bound  up 
his  wounds,  pouring  in  oil  and  wine, 
and  set  him  on  his  own  beast,  and 
brought  him  to  an  inn,  and  took  care 
of  him. 

35  And  on  the  morrow  when  he  de- 
lane,  neither  have  they  showed  differ- 
ence between  the  unclean  and  the 
clean,  and  have  hid  their  eyes  from 
my  sabbaths,  and  I  am  profaned 
among  them. 

EZEKIEL  xliv:21  Neither  shall 
any  priest  drink  wine,  when  they  en- 
ter into  the  inner  court. 

MALACHI  11:1  And  now,  O  ye 
priests,  this  commandment  is  for  you. 

2  If  ye  will  not  hear,  and  if  ye  will 
not  lay  it  to  heart,  to  give  glory  unto 
my  name,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  I 
will  even  send  a  curse  upon  you,  and 
I  will  curse  your  blessings:  yea,  1 
have  cursed  them  already,  because  ye 
do  not  lay  it  to  heart. 

ISAIAH  xxiv:5  The  earth  also  is 
defiled  under  the  inhabitants  thereof; 
because  they  have  transgressed  the 
laws,  changed  the  ordinance,  broken 
the  everlasting  covenant. 

MALACHI  ii:8  mBut  ye  are  de- 
parted out  of  the  way;  ye  have  caused 
many  to  stumble  at  the  law;  ye  have 
corrupted  the  covenant  of  Levi,  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

MALACHI  iii:3  And  he  [Christ] 
shall  sit  as  a  refiner  and  purifier  of 
silver:  and  he  shall  purify  the  sons 
of  Levi,  and  purge  them  as  gold  and 
silver,  that  they  may  offer  unto  the 
Lord  an  ofifering  in  righteousness. 

II.  KINGS  xvii:24  nAnd  the  king 
of     Assyria  brought  men  from  Baby- 


parted,  he  took  out  two  pence,  and 
gave  them  to  the  host,  and  said  unto 
him,  take  care  of  him:  and  whatsoever 
thou  spendest  more,  when  I  come 
again,  I  will  repay  thee. 

36  Which  now  of  these  three, 
thinkest  thou,  was  neighbour  unto  him 
that  fell  among  the  thieves? 

37  And  he  said,  oHe  that  showed 
mercy  on  him.  Then  said  Jesus  unto 
him,  Go,  and  do  thou  likewise. 

38  Now  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
went,  that  he  entered  into  a  certain 
village:  and  a  certain  woman  named 
Martha  received  him  into  her  house. 

39  And  she  had  a  sister  called  Mary, 
which  also  sat  at  Jesus'  feet,  and  heard 
his  word. 

40  But  Martha  was  cumbered  about 
much  serving,  and  came  to  him,  and 

Ion,  and  from  Cuthah,  and  from  Ava, 
and  from  Hamath,  and  from  Sephar- 
vaim,  and  placed  them  in  the  cities  of 
Samaria  instead  of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael: and  they  possessed  Samaria,  and 
dwelt  in  the  cities  thereof. 

34  Unto  this  day  they  do  after  the 
former  manners:  they  fear  not  the 
Lord,  neither  do  they  after  tneir  stat- 
utes, or  after  their  ordinances,  or  af- 
ter the  law  and  commandments  which 
the  Lord  commanded  the  children  of 
Jacob,  whom  he  named   Israel;

of  Christ's  teaching.

was  praying  in  a  certain  place,  when 
he  ceased,  one  of  his  disciples  said 
unto  him.  Lord,  teach  us  qto  pray,  as 
John  also  taught  his  disciples.

me  out  of  my  distresses. 

18  Look  upon  mine  affliction  and 
my  pain;   and  forgive  all  my  sins. 

PSALM  xxxii:5  I  acknowledged 
my  sin  unto  thee,  and  mine  iniquity 
have  I  not  hid.  I  said,  I  will  confess 
my  transgressions  unto  the  Lord; 
and  thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my 
sin. 

6  For  this  shall  every  one  that  is 
godly  pray  unto  thee  in  a  time  when 
thou  mayest  be  found:  surely  in  the 
floods  of  great  waters  they  shall  not 
come  nigh  unto  him. 

PROVERBS  iv:14  vEnter  not  into

15  Avoid  it,  pass  not  by  it,  turn 
from   it,  and  pass  away. 

16  For  they  sleep  not,  except  they 
have  done  mischief;  and  their  sleep 
is  taken  away,  unless  they  cause  some 
to  fall.

15  But  some  of  them  said,  He 
casteth  out  devils  through  Beelzebub 
the  chief  of  the  devils. 

16  And  others,  tempting  him, 
sought  of  him  a  sign  from  heaven. 

17  But  he,  knowing  their  thoughts, 
said  unto  them,  Every  kingdom  di- 
vided against  itself  is  brought  to  de- 
solation; and  a  house  divided  against 
a  house  falleth. 

18  If  Satan  also  be  divided  against 
himself,  how  shall  his  kingdom 
stand?  because  ye  say  that  I  cast  out 
devils  through  Beelzebub. 

19  And  if  I  by  Beelzebub  cast  out 
devils,  by  whom  do  your  sons  cast 
them  out?  therefore  shall  they  be 
your  judges. 

20  But  if  I  xwith  the  finger  of  God 
cast  out  devils,  no  doubt  the  king- 
dom of  God  is  come  upon  you.

peace: 

22  But      ywhen     a    stronger    than 

w-ater  upon  him  that  is  thirsty,  and 
floods  upon  the  dry  ground:  I  will 
pour  my  Spirit  upon  thy  seed,  and 
my   blessings   upon  thine  offspring: 

EXODUS  viii:19  xThen  the  magi- 
cians said  unto  Pharaoh,  This  is  the 
finger  of  God:  and  Pharaoh's  heart 
was  hardened,  and  he  barkened  not 
unto  them;    as  the  Lord   had  said. 

ISAIAH  liii:12  yTherefore  will  I 
divide  him  [Christ]  a  portion  with  the 
great,  and  he  shall  divide  the  spoil 
with  the  strong;  because  he  hath 
poured  out  his  soul  unto  death:  and 
he  was  numbered  with  the  transgres- 
sors; and  he  bare  the  sin  of  many, 
and  made  intercession  for  the  trans- 
gressors.

Saul  inquired  of  the  Lord,  the  Lord

7  Then  said  Saul  unto  his  serv- 
ants. Seek  me  a  woman  that  hath  a 
familiar  spirit,  that  I  may  go  to  her, 
and  inquire  of  her.  And  his  servants

dry  places,  seeking  rest;  and  finding

25  And  when  he  cometh,  he  find-

spake  these  things,  a  certain  woman 
of  the  company  lifted  up  her  voice, 
and  said  unto  him.  Blessed  is  the 
womb  that  bare  thee,  and  the  paps 
which  thou  hast  sucked.

prophet. 

30  For  as  bjonah  was  a  sign  unto 
the  Ninevites,  so  shall  also  the  Son 
of  man  be  to  this  generation. 

31  cThe  queen  of  the  south  shall 
rise  up  in  the  judgment  with  the  men 
of  this  generation,  and  condemn  them: 
for  she  came  from  the  utmost  parts 
of  the  earth  to  hear  the  wisdom  of 
Solomon;  and,  behold,  da  greater  than 
Solomon   is   here. 

32  The  men  of  Nineveh  shall  rise 
up  in  the  judgment  with  this  genera-

38  And  when  the  Pharisee  saw  it,

washed  before  dinner.

for  ye  itithe  mint  and  rue  and  all 
manner  of  herbs,  and  pass  over  judg- 
ment and  the  love  of  God:  these  ought 
ye  to  have  done,  and  not  to  leave  the

43  Woe  unto  you,  Pharisees!  for  ye

Thus  saith  God,  Why  transgress  ye 
the  commandments  of  the  Lord,  that 
ye  cannot  prosper?  because  ye  have 
forsaken  the  Lord,  he  hath  also  for- 
saken you.

commandment  of  the  king  in  the  court 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord.

selves, and  them  that  were  entering  in

53  And  as  he  said  these  things  un- 
to them,  the  scribes  and  the  Pharisees 
began  to  urge  him  vehemently,  and  to 
provoke  him  to  speak  of  many  things:

ing to  catch  something  out  of  his 
mouth,   that  they  might  accuse  him. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

Christ  taught  his  disciples  to  beware  of  the 
hyprocrisy  of  the  Pharisees.  13  To  avoid  cov- 
etousness.  22  Avoid  anxiety.  31  Seek  the  king- 
dom of  God  first.  ,35  Be  prepared  for  Christ's 
coming.  49  Christ  did  not  come  to  give  peace

were  gathered  together  an  innumer- 
able multitude  of  people,  insomuch 
that  they  trode  one  upon  another,  he 
began  to  say  unto  his  disciples  first 
of  all.  Beware  ye  of  the  leaven  of  the 
Pharisees,  which  is  hypocrisy. 

through  strong  drink,  they  are  swal- 
lowed up  of  wine,  they  are  out  of  the

but,  psaltry,  and  dulcimer,  and  all 
kinds  of  music,  ye  fall  down  and  wor- 
ship the  image  which  I  have  made; 
well:  but  if  ye  worship  not,  ye  shall 
be  cast  the  same  hour  into  the  midst 
of  a  burning  fiery  furnace;  and  who  is 
that  God  that  shall  deliver  you  out  of 
my   hands? 

16  Shadrach,  Meshach,  and  Abed- 
nego,  answered  and  said  to  the  king, 
0  Nebuchadnezzar,  we  are  not  careful 
to  answer  thee  in  this  matter. 

17  If  it  be  so,  our  God  whom  we 
serve  is  able  to  deliver  us  from  the 
burning  fiery  furnace,  and  he  will  de- 
liver us  out  of  thine  hand,  O  king. 

18  But  if  not,  be  it  known  unto 
thee,  O  king,  that  we  will  not  sen-e 
thy  gods,  nor  worship  the  golden  im- 
age which  thou  hast  set  up. 

I.  SAMUEL  xv:24  rAnd  Saul  said

the  people,  and  obeyed  their  voice. 

25  Now  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  par- 
don ray  sin,  and  turn  again  with  me, 
that  I  may  worship  the  Lord.

with  me. 

14  And  he  said  unto  him,  Man, 
who  made  me  a  judge  or  a  divider  over 
you? 

15  And  he  said  unto  them.  Take 
heed,  and  sbeware  of  covetousness:  for 
a  man's  life  consisteth  not  in  the 
abundance  of  things  which  he  pos- 
sesseth. 

16  And  he  spalce  a  parable  unto 
them,  saying.  The  ground  of  a  certain 
rich  man  brought  forth  plentifully: 

17  And  he  thought  within  himself, 
saying,  What  shall  I  do,  because  I  have 
no  room  where  to  bestow  my  fruits? 

18  And  he  said.  This  will  I  do:  I 
will  pull  down  my  barns,  and  build 
greater;  and  there  will  I  bestow  all  my 
fruits  and  my  goods. 

19  And  I  will  say  to  my  soul,  tSoul, 
thou  hast  much  goods  laid  up  for 
many  years;  take  thine  ease,  eat, 
drink,  and  be  merry. 

Lord    hath    rejected  thee  from  being 
king  over  Israel. 

ISAIAH  li:12  I,  even  I,  am  he  that 
comforteth  you:  who  art  thou,  that 
thou  shouldest  be  afraid  of  a  man  that 
shall  die,  and  of  the  son  of  man  which 
shall  be  made  as  grass; 

13  And  forgettest  the  Lord  thy 
Maker,  that  hath  stretched  forth  the 
heavens,  and  laid  the  foundations  of 
the  earth;  and  hast  feared  continually 
every  day  because  of  the  fury  of  the 
oppressor,  as  if  he  were  ready  to  de- 
stroy? and  where  is  the  fury  of  the  op- 
pressor? 

PROVERBS  xxviii:16  sThe  prince 
that  wanteth  understanding  is  also  a 
great  oppressor:  but  he  that  hateth 
covetousness  shall  prolong  his  days. 

JOB  xxi:13  tThey  [the  wicked]  spend 
their  days  in  wealth,  and  in  a  moment 
go   down   to   the   grave. 

14  Therefore  they  say  unto  God. 
Depart  from  us;  for  we  desire  not  the 
knowledge  of  thy  ways. 

ECCLESIASTES  xi:9  Rejoice,  0 
young  man,  in  thy  youth;  and  let  thy 
heart  cheer  thee  in  the  days  of  thy 
youth,  and  walk  in  the  ways  of  thine 
heart,  and  in  the  sight  of  thine  eyes: 
but  know  thou,  that  for  all  these  things 


20  But  God  said  unto  him,  Thou 
fool,  this  night  uthy  soul  shall  be  re- 
quired of  thee:  vthen  whose  shall  those 
things  be,  which  thou  hast  provided? 

21  So  is  he  that  layeth  up  treasure 
for  himself,  and  is  not  rich  toward 
God. 

22  And  he  said  unto  his  disciples. 
Therefore  I  say  unto  you.  Take  no 
thought  for  your  life,  what  ye  shall 
eat;  neither  for  the  body,  what  ye 
shall  put  on. 

23  The  life  is  more  than  meat,  and 
the  body  is  more  than  raiment. 

24  Consider  the  ravens:  for  they 
neither  sow  nor  reap;  which  neither 
have  storehouse  nor  barn;  and  wGod 
feedeth  them:  how  much  more  are  ye 
better  than  the  fowls? 

25  And  which  of  you  with  taking 
thought  can  add  to  his  stature  one 
cubit? 

26  If  ye  then  be  not  able  to  do  that 

God  will  bring  thee  into  judgment. 

PSALM  xxxix:6  Surely  every  man 
walketh  in  a  vain  shew:  surely  they 
are  disquieted  in  vain:  he  heapeth  up 
riches,  and  knoweth  not  who  shall 
gather  them. 

JOB  xx:22  uln  the  fulness  of  his: 
sufficiency  he  shall  be  in  straits:  every 
hand  of  the  wicked  shall  come  upon 
him. 

23  When  he  is  about  to  fill  his 
belly,  God  shall  cast  the  fury  of  his 
wrath  upon  him,  and  shall  rain  it  upon 
him  while  he  is  eating. 

JOB  xxvii:8  For  what  is  the  hope 
of  the  hypocrite,  though  he  hath 
gained,  when  God  taketh  away  his- 
soul  ? 

PSALM  lii:7  Lo,  this  is  the  man 
that  made  not  God  his  strength;  but 
trusted  in  the  abundance  of  his  riches, 
and  strengthened  himself  in  his  wick- 
edness.

27  Consider  the  lilies  how  they

yet  I  say  unto  you,  that  xSoloraon  in 
all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed  like  one 
of  these.

ones  cry  unto  God,  they  wander  for

PSALM  cxlvii;9  He  [God]  giveth 
to  the  beast  his  food,  and  to  the  young 
ravens  which  cry. 

I.  KINGS  iv:26  xAnd  Solomon  had 
forty  thousand  stalls  of  horses  for  his 
chariots,  and  twelve  thousand  horse- 
men. 

34  And  there  came  of  all  people  to 
hear  the  wisdom  of  Solomon,  from  all 
kings  of  the  earth,  which  had  heard 
of   his   wisdom. 

I.  KINGS  vii:47  And  Solomon  left 
all  the  vessels  unweighed,  because 
they  were  exceeding  many:  neither 
was  the  weight  of  the  brass  found 
out. 

50  And  the  bowls,  and  the  snuffers, 
and  the  basins,  and  the  spoons,  and 
the  censers  of  pure  gold;  and  the 
the  hinges  of  gold,  both  for  the  doors 
of  the  inner  house,  the  most  holy 
place,  and  for  the  doors  of  the  house, 
to  wit,  of  the  temple. 

I.  KINGS  ix:2S  And  they  came  to 
Ophir,  and  fetched  from  thence  gold. 
four  hundred  and  twenty  talents,  and 
brought  it  to  king  Solomon. 

I.  KINGS  X:I  And  when  the  queen 
of  Sheba  heard  of  the  fame  of  Solo- 
mon concerning  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
she  came  to  prove  him  with  hard  ques- 
tions. 

3  And  Solomon  told  her  all  her 
questions:  there  was  not  any  thing  hid 
from  the  king,  which  he  told  her  not. 

4  .\nd  when  the  queen  of  Sheba  had 
seen  all  Solomon's  wisdom,  and  the 
house  that  he  had  built. 

5  .'\nd  the  meat  of  his  table,  and  the 
sitting  of  bis  servants,  and  the  attend- 
ance of  his  ministers,  and  their  ap-

which  is  to  day  in  the  field,  and  to 
morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven;  how 
much  more  will  he  clothe  you,  O  ye 
of  little  faith? 

29  And  yseek  not  ye  what  ye  shall 
eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink,  neither  be 
ye  of  doubtful  mind. 

30  For  zall  these  things  do  the  na- 

ascent  by  which  he  went  up  unto  the 
house  of  the  Lord;  there  was  no  more 
spirit  in  her. 

6  And  she  said  to  the  king.  It  was 
a  true  report  that  I  heard  in  mine  own 
land  of  thy  acts  and  of  thy  wisdom. 

7  Howbeit  I  believed  not  the  words, 
until  I  came,  and  mine  eyes  had  seen 
it;  and,  behold,  the  half  was  not  told 
me:  thy  wisdom  and  prosperity  ex- 
ceedeth  the  fame  which  I  heard. 

10  .-Vud  she  gave  the  king  a  hun- 
dred and  twenty  talents  of  gold,  and 
of  spices  very  great  store,  anrl  precious 
stones:  there  came  no  more  such 
abundance  of  spices  as  these  which  the 
queen  of  Sheba  gave  to  king  Solomon. 

14  Now  the  weight  of  gold  that 
came  to  Solomon  in  one  year  was  six 
hundred  three-score  and  six  talents  of 
gold, 

15  Besides  that  he  had  of  the  mer- 
chantmen, and  of  the  trafRck  of  the 
spice  merchants,  and  of  all  the  kings 
of  Arabia,  and  of  the  governors  of  the 
country. 

21  And  all  king  Solomon's  drinking 
vessels  were  of  gold,  and  all  the  ves- 
sels of  the  house  of  the  forest  of  Leb- 
anon were  of  pure  gold;  none  were  of 
silver:  it  was  nothing  accounted  of  in 
the  days  of   Solomon. 

23  So  king  Solomon  exceeded  all  the 
kings  of  the  earth  for  riches  and  for 
wisdom. 

26  .And  Solomon  gathered  together 
chariots  and  horsemen:  and  he  had  a 
thousand  and  four  hundred  chariots, 
and  twelve  thousand  horsemen,  whom 
he  bestowed  in  the  cities  for  chariots 
and    with    the   king   at   .Jerusalem.

Lord  God  of  Israel,  which  dwellest  be-

26  He  caused  an  east  wind  to  blow 
in  the  heaven:  and  by  his  power  he 
brought   in    the    south    wind. 

27  He  rained  flesh  also  upon  them

that  faithful  and  wise  steward,  whom

of  meat   in  due  season?

his  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find  so 
doing. 

44  Of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you,  that 
he  will  make  him  ruler  over  all  that  he 
hath. 

45  But  and  if  that  servant  say  in 
his  heart.  My  lord  delayeth  his  com-

drink,  and  to  be  drunken;

from  among  his  people. 

DEUTERONOMY     xxv:2  And     it

fault,  by  a  certain  number.

his  lord's  will,  and  prepared  not  him- 
self, neither  did  according  to  his  will, 
shall   be   beaten  with   many   stripes. 

48  iBut  he  that  knew  not,  and  did 
commit  things  worthy  of  stripes,  shall 
be  beaten  with  few  stripes.  For  unto 
whomsoever  much  is  given,  of  him 
shall  be  much  required;  and  to  whom 
men  have  committed  much,  of  him  they 
will  ask  the  more.

56  Ye  hypocrites,  ye  can  discern  the 
face  of  the  sky  and  of  the  earth;  but 
how  is  it  that  ye  do  not  discern  this

57  Yea,  and  why  even  of  yourselves 
judge  ye  not  v/hat  is  right? 

58  When  thou  goest  with  thine  ad- 
versary to  the  magistrate,  mas  thou 
art  in  the  way,  give  diligence  that 
thou  mayest  be  delivered  from  him; 
lest  he  hail  thee  to  the  judge,  and  the 
judge  deliver  thee  to  the  officer,  and

thing,  and  that  no  thought  can  be

1  There  were  present  at  that  sea- 
son some  that  told  him  of  the  Galile- 
ans, whose  blood  Pilate  had  mingled 
with  their  sacrifices. 

2  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
them.  Suppose  ye  that  these  Galileans 
were  sinners  above  all  Galileans,  be- 
cause they  suffered  such  things? 

3  I  tell  you.  Nay:  but,  oexcept  ye 
repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 

4  Or  those  eighteen,  upon  whom 
the  tower  in  Siloam  fell,  and  slew 
them,  think  ye  that  they  were  sinners 
above  all  men  that  dwelt  in  Jerusa- 
lem? 

PSALM  xxxii:5  I  acknowledged  my 
sin  unto  thee,  and  mine  iniquity  have 
I  not  hid.  I  said,  I  will  confess  my 
transgressions  unto  the  Lord;  and 
thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my  sin. 

ISAIAH  lv:6  Seek  ye  the  Lord 
while  he  may  be  found,  call  ye  upon 
him  while  he  is  near: 

7  Let  the  wicked  forsake  his  way, 
and  the  unrighteous  man  his  thoughts: 
and  let  him  return  unto  the  Lord, 
and  he  will  have  mercy  upon  him;  and 
to  our  God,  for  he  will  abundantly 
pardon. 

JEREMIAH  viii:6  I  hearkened  and 
heard,  but  they  spake  not  aright:  no 
man  repented  him  of  his  wickedness, 
saying.  What  have  I  done?  every  one 
turned  to  his  course,  as  the  horse 
rusheth  into  the  battle. 

7  Yea,  the  stork  in  the  heaven 
knoweth  her  appointed  times;  and  the 
turtle  and  the  crane  and  the  swallow 
observe  the  time  of  their  coming;  but 
my  people  know  not  the  judgment  of 
the  Lord. 

EZEKIEL  xviii:30  Therefore  I  will 
judge  you,  0  house  of  Israel,  every  one 
according  to  his  ways,  saith  the  Lord 
God.  Repent,  and  turn  yourselves 
from  all  your  transgressions;  so  ini- 
quity shall  not  be  your  ruin.

my  well  beloved  a  song  of  my  beloved

ST.  LUKE  Xin. 


A  Woman  Hculed. 


5  I  tell  you,  Nay:  but,  except  ye 
repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 

6  He  spake  also  this  parable;  a  A 
certain  man  had  a  fig  tree  planted  in 
his  vineyard;  and  he  came  and  sought 
fruit  thereon,  and  found  none. 

7  Then  said  he  unto  the  dresser  of 
liis  vineyard,  Behold,  these  three 
years  I  come  seeking  fruit  on  this  fig 
tree,  and  find  none:  cut  it  down;  why 
cumbereth  it  the  ground? 

8  And  he  answering  said  unto  him, 
Lord,  let  it  alone  this  year  also,  till  I 
shall  dig  about  it,  and  dung  it: 

9  And  if  it  bear  fruit,  well:  and  if 
not,  then  after  that  thou  shalt  cut  it 
down. 

10  And  he  was  teaching  in  one  of 
the  synagogues  on  the  sabbath. 

11  And,  behold,  there  was  a  woman 
which  had  a  spirit  of  infirmity  eigh- 
teen years,  and  was  bowed  together, 
and  could  in  no  wise  lift  up  herself. 

12  And  when  Jesus  saw  her,  he 
called  her  to  him,  and  said  unto  her, 

loved  hath  a  vineyard  in  a  very  fruit- 
ful hill: 

2  And  he  fenced  it,  and  gathered 
out  the  stones  thereof,  and  planted  it 
with  the  choicest  vine,  and  built  a 
tower  in  the  midst  of  it,  and  also 
made  a  winepress  therein:  and  he 
looked  that  it  should  bring  forth 
grapes,  and  it  brought  forth  wild 
grapes. 

3  And  now,  O  inhabitants  of  Jeru- 
salem, and  men  of  Judah,  judge.  I 
pray  you,  betwixt  me  and  my  vineyard. 

4  What  could  have  been  done  more 
to  my  vineyard,  that  I  have  not  done 
in  it?  wherefore,  when  I  looked  that 
it  should  bring  forth  grapes,  brought 
it  forth  wild  grapes? 

5  And  now  go  to;  I  will  tell  you 
what  1  will  do  to  my  vineyard:  I  will 
take  away  the  hedge  thereof,  and  it 
shall  be  eaten  up;  and  break  down  the 
wall  thereof,  and  it  shall  be  trodden 
down: 

6  And  I  will  lay  it  waste:  it  shall 
not  be  pruned,  nor  digged;  but  there 
shall  come  up  briars  and  thorns:  I 
will     also    command     the   clouds   that 


bWoman.    thou   art   loosed  from   thine 
infirmity. 

13  And  he  laiil  lii.s  hands  on  her: 
and  immediately  she  was  made 
straight,  and  glorified  God. 

14  And  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue 
answered  with  indignation,  because 
that  Jesus  had  hea>led  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  said  unto  the  people,  cThere 
are  six  days  in  which  men  ought  to 
work:  in  them  therefore  come  and  be 
healed,  and  not  on  the  sabbath  day. 

15  The  Lord  then  answered  him, 
and  said.  Thou  hypocrite,  doth  not 
each  one  of  you  on  the  sabbath  loose 
his  ox  or  his  ass  from  the  stall,  and 
lead  him  away  to  watering? 

16  And  ought  not  this  woman,  be- 
ing a  daughter  of  Abraham,  whom 
dSatan  hath  bound,  lo,  these  eighteen 
years,  be  loosed  from  this  bond  on  the 
sabbath  day? 

17  And  when  he  had  said  these 
things,  all  his  adversaries  ewere 
ashamed:   and  all  the  fpeople  rejoiced 

they  rain  no  rain  upon  it. 

7  For  the  vineyard  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  is  the  house  of  Israel,  and  the 
men  of  Judah  his  pleasant  plant:  and 
ho  looked  for  judgment,  but  behold 
oppression;  for  righteousness,  but  be- 
hold a  cry. 

GENESIS  xx:17  bSo  Abraham 
prayed  unto  God:  and  God  healed 
Abimelech,  and  his  wife,  and  his  maid- 
servants; and  they  bare  children.

labour,  and  do  all  thy  work: 

JOB  ii:7  dSo  went  Satan  forth  from 
the  presence  of  the  Lord,  and  smote 
Job  with  sore  boils  from  the  sole  of 
his  foot  unto  his  crown. 

PSALM  vi:10  Let  all  mine  [Dav- 
id's] enemies  be  ashamed  and  sore 
vexed:  let  them  return  and  be 
ashamed  suddenly. 

PSALM  xxv:3  Yea,  let  none  that 
wait  on  thee  be  ashamed:  let  them 
be  ashamed  which  transgress  without 
cause.

for  all  the  glorious  things  that  were 
done  by  him. 

18  Then  said  he,  gUnto  what  is  the 
kingdom  of  God  like?  and  whereunto 
shall  I  resemble  it? 

19  It  is  like  a  grain  of  mustard 
seed,  which  a  man  took,  and  cast  into 
his  garden;  and  it  grew,  and  waxed  a 
great  tree;  and  the  fowls  of  the  air 
lodged  in  the  branches  of  it. 

20  And  again  he  said,  Whereunto 
shall  I  liken  the  kingdom  of  God? 

21  It  is  like  leaven,  which  a  woman 
took  and  hid  in  three  measures  of 
meal,  till  the  whole  was  leavened. 

22  And  he  went  through  the  cities 
and  villages,  teaching,  and  journeying 
toward  Jerusalem. 

23  Then  said  one  unto  him,   Lord, 

that  say  to  the  molten  images.  Ye  are 
our  gods. 

JEREMIAH  xvii:13  0  Lord,  the 
hope  of  Israel,  all  that  forsake  thee 
shall  be  ashamed,  and  they  that  de- 
part from  me  shall  be  written  in  the 
earth,  because  they  have  forsaken  the 
Lord,    the    fountain  of  living  waters. 

ZECHARIAH  xiii:4  And  it  shall 
come  to  pass  in  that  day,  that  the 
prophets  shall  be  ashamed  every  one 
of  his  vision,  when  he  hath  prophe- 
sied; neither  shall  they  wear  a  rough 
garment  to  deceive: 

PSALM  xxxii:ll  fBe  glad  in  the 
Lord,  and  rejoice,  ye  righteous:  and 
shout  for  joy,  all  ye  that  are  upright 
in  heart. 

PSALM  xiii:5  But  I  have  trusted 
in  thy  mercy;  my  heart  shall  rejoice 
in  thy  salvation. 

PSALM  ii:ll  Serve  the  Lord  with 
fear,  and  rejoice  with  trembling. 

DANIEL  ii:44  gin  the  days  of

doms  and   it  shall   stand  for  ever. 

PSALM  xxxii:5  hi  acknowledged 
my  sin  unto  thee,  and  mine  iniquity 
have  I  not  hid.  I  said,  I  will  confess 
my  transgressions  unto  the  Lord;  and 
thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my  sin. 

6  For  this  shall  every  one  that  is 
godly  pray  unto  thee  in  a  time  when 
thou  mayest  be  found:   surely  in  the 


are  there  few  that  be  saved?  And  he 
said  unto  them, 

24  Strive  to  enter  in  at  the  strait 
gate:  for  many,  I  say  unto  you,  will 
seek  to  enter  in,  and  shall  not  be  able.

not  whence  ye  are: 

26  Then  shall  ye  begin  to  say,  JWe 
have  eaten  and  drunk  in  thy  presence, 
and  thou  hast  taught  in  our  streets. 

27  But  he  shall  say,  I  tell  you,  I 
know  you  not  whence  ye  are;  kdepart 
from  me,  all  ye  workers  of  iniquity. 

28  There      shall     be    weeping    and 

floods  of  great  waters  they  shall  not

ISAIAH  lv:6  Seek  ye  the  Lord

Lord  unto  me;  This  gate  shall  be 
shut,  it  shall  not  be  opened,  and  no 
man  shall  enter  in  by  it;  because  th& 
Lord  the  God  of  Israel  hath  entered

dwell  therein  shall  be  astonished  at 
it. 

33  And  I  will  scatter  you  among 
the  heathen,  and  will  draw  out  a

be  desolate,  and  your  cities  waste. 

34  Then  shall  the  land  enjoy  her

Christ  healed  a  man  of  dropsy  on  the  Sab- 
bath. 13  Call  the  poor  to  dinner.  15  Parable 
of  a  s^reat  supper.  25  Each  person  must  bear 
his  cross.    34    Christianity  illustrated  by   salt. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  went 
into  the  house  of  one  of  the  chief 
Pharisees  to  eat  bread  on  the  sabbath 
day,  that  they  watched  him. 

2  And,  behold,  there  was  a  certain 
man  before  him  which  had  the  drop- 
sy. 

3  And  Jesus  answering  spake  unto 
the  lawyers  and  Pharisees,  saying,  Is 
it  lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath  day? 

4  And  they  held  their  peace.  And 
he  took  him,  and  ahealed  him,  and  let 
him  go; 

5  And       answered     them,     saying, 

42  Then  will  I  remember  my  cove- 
nant with  Jacob,  and  also  my  cove- 
nant with  Isaac,  and  also  my  covenant 
with  Abraham  will  I  remember;  and 
I  will  remember  the  land. 

43  The  land  also  shall  be  left  ot 
them,  and  shall  enjoy  her  sabbaths, 
while  she  lieth  desolate  without  them: 
and  they  shall  accept  of  the  punish- 
ment of  their  iniquity;  because,  even 
because  they  despised  my  judgments, 
and  because  their  soul  abhorred  my 
statutes. 

44  And  yet  for  all  that,  when  they 
be  in  the  land  of  their  enemies.  I  will 
not  cast  them  away,  neither  will  I  ab- 
hor them,  to  destroy  them  utterly, 
and  to  break  my  covenant  with  them: 
for  I  am  the  Lord  their  God. 

45  But  I  will  for  their  sakes  re- 
member the  covenant  of  their  ances- 
tors, whom  I  brought  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt  in  the  sight  of  the 
heathen,  that  I  might  be  their  God: 
I  am  the  Lord. 

PSALM  lxix:25  Let  their  habitation

bWhich  of  you  shall  have  an  ass  or 
an  ox  fallen  into  a  pit,  and  will  not 
straightway  pull  him  out  on  the  sab- 
bath day? 

6  And  they  could  not  answer  him 
again  to  these  things. 

7  And  he  put  forth  a  parable  to 
those  which  were  bidden,  when  he 
marked  how  they  chose  out  the  chief 
rooms;    saying  unto  them, 

8  When  thou  art  bidden  of  any 
man  to  a  wedding,  sit  not  down  in 
the  highest  room;  lest  a  more  hon- 
ourable man  than  thou  be  bidden  of 
him; 

9  And  he  that  bade  thee  and  him 
come  and  say  to  thee.  Give  this  man 
place;  and  thou  begin  with  shame  to 
take  the  lowest  room. 

10  cBut  when  thou  art  bidden,  go 
and  sit  down  in  the  lowest  room; 
that  when  he  that  bade  thee  cometh, 
he  may  say  unto  thee.  Friend,  go  up 

thou  hast  smitten;  and  they  talk  to 
the  grief  of  those  whom  thou  hast 
wounded. 

ISAIAH  i:7  Your  country  is  deso- 
late, your  cities  are  burned  with  fire: 
your  land,  strangers  devour  it  in  your 
presence,  and  it  is  desolate,  as  over- 
thrown by  strangers. 

DANIEL  ix:27  And  he  [Christ] 
shall  confirm  the  covenant  with  many 
for  one  week:  and  in  the  midst  of  the 
week  he  shall  cause  the  sacrifice  and 
the  oblation  to  cease,  and  for  the  over- 
spreading of  abominations  he  shall 
make  it  desolate,  even  until  the  con- 
sumation,  and  that  determined  shall 
be   poured   upon  the  desolate.

meat  with  thee. 

11  dFor  whosoever  exalteth  him- 
self shall  be  abased;  and  he  that 
hurableth  himself  shall   be  exalted. 

12  Then  said  he  also  to  him  that 
bade  him.  When  thou  makest  a  din- 
ner or  a  supper,  call  not  thy  friends, 
nor  thy  brethren,  neither  thy  kins- 
men, nor  thy  rich  neifzihbours;  lest 
they  also  bid  thee  again,  ami  a  re- 
compense be  made  thee. 

13  But  when  thou  makest  a  feast, 
call  t'the  poor,  the  maimed,  the  lame, 
the  blind: 

14  And  thou  shalt  be  blessed;  for 
they  cannot  recompense  thee:  for  thou 
shalt  be  recompensed  at  the  resurrec- 

thyself  from  them:  thou  shalt  surely 
help  him  to  lift  them  up  again. 

PROVERBS  xxv:G  tPut  not  forth 
thyself  in  the  presence  of  the  king, 
and  stand  not  in  the  place  of  great 
men: 

7  For  better  it  is  that  it  be  said 
unto  thee.  Come  up  hither;  than  that 
thou  shouldest  be  put  lower  in  the 
presence  of  the  prince  whom  thine 
eyes  have  seen. 

.JOB  xxii:29  dWhen  men  are  cast 
down,  then  thou  shalt  say.  There  is 
lifting  up:  and  he  shall  save  the 
humble  person. 

PSALM  xviii:27  For  thou  wilt  save 
the  afflicted  people;  but  wilt  bring 
down  high  looks. 

PROVERBS  xxix:23  A  man's  pride 
shall  bring  him  low:  but  honour  shall 
uphold  the  humble  in  spirit. 

NEHEMIAH  viii:8  eSo  they  read 
in  the  book  in  the  law  of  God  dis- 
tinctly, and  gave  the  sense,  and 
caused  them  to  understand  the  read- 
ing. 

10  Then  he  said  unto  them.  Go 
your  way.  eat  the  fat.  and  drink  the 
sweet,  and  send  portions  unto  them 
for  whom  nothing  is  prepared:  for 
this  day  is  holy  unto  our  Lord:  neith- 
er be  ye  sorry:  for  the  joy  of  the  Lord 
is   your  strength. 

11  So    the    Levites    stilled   all   the 


tion  of  the  just. 

15  And  when  one  of  them  that  sat 
at  meat  with  him  heard  these  things, 
he  said  unto  him.  Blessed  is  he  that 
shall  eat  Ijrcad  in  the  kinRdom  of 
God. 

HJ  Then  said  he  unto  him,  A  cer- 
tain man  made  a  great  supper,  and 
bade  many: 

17  And  fsent  his  servant  at  supper 
time  to  say  to  them  that  were  bidden. 
Come;    for  all   things   are   now    ready. 

18  And  they  all  with  one  consent 
began  to  make  excuse.  The  first  said 
unto  him.  I  have  bought  a  piece  of 
ground,  and  I  must  needs  go  and  see 
it:   I  pray  thee  have  me  excused. 

19  And  another  said,  I  have  bought 
five  yoke  of  oxen,  and  I  go  to  prove 

people,  saying.  Hold  your  peace,  for 
the  day  is  holy;  neither  be  ye  grieved. 

12  And  all  the  people  went  their 
way  to  eat,  and  to  drink,  and  to  send 
portions,  and  to  make  great  mirth, 
because  they  had  understood  the 
words  that  were  declared  unto  them. 

PSALM  XLI:1  Blessed  is  he  that 
considereth  the  poor:  the  Lord 
will  deliver  him  in  time  of  trouble. 

2  The  Lord  will  preserve  him,  and 
keep  him  alive;  and  he  shall  be 
blessed  upon  the  earth:  and  thou  wilt 
not  deliver  him  unto  the  will  of  his 
enemies. 

3  The  Lord  will  strengthen  him 
upon  the  bed  of  languishing:  thou 
wilt  make  all  his  bed  in  sickness.

20  And  another  said,  fl  have  mar-

come. 

21  So  that  servant  came,  and 
shewed  his  lord  these  things.  Then 
the  master  of  the  house  being  angry 
said  to  his  servant.  Go  out  quickly  in- 
to the  streets  and  lanes  of  the  city, 
and  bring  in  hither  the  poor,  and  the 
maimed,  and  the  halt,  and  the  blind. 

22  And  the  servant  said.  Lord,  it 
is  done  as  thou  hast  commanded,  and 
yet  there  is  room. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  the 
servant.  Go  out  into  the  highways 
and  hedges,  gand  compel  them  to 
come  in,  that  my  house  may  be  filled. 

24  For  I  say  unto  you,  That  none 
of  those  men  which  were  bidden 
shall  taste  of  my  supper. 

25  And  there  went  great  multitudes 
with  him:  and  he  turned,  and  said 
unto  them, 

26  hlf  any   man   come  to   me,   and 

DEUTERONOMY  xx:  fAnd  what

die  in  the  battle,  and  another  man 
take  her.

27  And  whosoever  doth  not  bear 
his  cross,  and  come  after  me,  cannot 
be  my  disciple. 

28  iFor  which  of  you,  intending  to 
build  a  tower,  sitteth  not  down  first, 
and  counteth  the  cost,  whether  he 
have  sufficient  to  finish  it? 

29  Lest  haply,  after  he  hath  laid 
the  foundation,  and  is  not  abla  to  fin- 
ish it,  all  that  behold  it  begin  to  mock 
him, 

30  Saying,  This  man  began  to 
build,  and  was  not  able  to  finish.

war  against  another  king,  sitteth  not

1  Then  drew  near  unto  him  all  the 
publicans  and  sinners  for  to  hear  him. 

2  And  the  Pharisees  and  scribes 
murmured,  saying.  This  man  receiv- 
eth  sinners,  and  eateth  with  them. 

3  And  he  spake  this  parable  unto 
them,  saying, 

4  What  man  of  you,  having  a  hun- 
dred sheep,  if  he  lose  one  of  them, 
doth  not  leave  the  ninety  and  nine  in 
the  wilderness,  and  go  after  that  which 
is  lost,  until  he  find  it? 

5  And  when  he  hath  found  it,  he 
layeth  it  on  his  shoulders,  rejoicing. 


calleth  together  his  friends  and  neigh- 
bours, saying  unto  them.  Rejoice  with 
me;  for  I  have  found  my  sheep  which 
was  lost. 

7  I  say  unto  you,  that  likewise  ijoy 
shall  be  in  heaven  over  one  sinner 
that  repenteth,  mmore  than  over  nine- 
ty and  nine  just  persons,  which  need 
no  repentance. 

8  Either  what  woman  having  ten 
pieces  of  silver,  if  she  lose  one  piece, 
doth  not  light  a  candle,  and  sweep  the 
house,  and  seek  diligently  till  she  find 
it? 

9  And  when  she  hath  found  it,  she 
calleth  her  friends  and  her  neighbours 
together,  saying,  Rejoice  with  me;  for 
I  have  found  the  piece  which  I  had 
lost. 

10  Likewise,  I  say  unto  you,  there 
is  joy  in  the  presence  of  the  angels  of 
God  over  one  sinner  that  repenteth.

12  And  the  younger  of  them  said 
to  his  father.  Father,  ngive  me  the

took  his  journey  into  a  far  country, 
and  there  wasted  his  substance  with 
oriotous  living. 

14  And  when  he  had  spent  all, 
there  arose  a  mighty  famine  in  that 
land;   and  he  began  to  be  in  want. 

15  And  he  went  and  joined  him- 
self to  a  citizen  of  that  country;  and 
he  sent  him  into  his  fields  to  pfeed 
swine. 

16  And  he  would  fain  have  filled 
his  belly  with  the  husks  that  the 
swine  did  eat:  and  no  man  gave  unto 
him. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  himself, 
he  said,  How  many  hired  servants  of

spare,  and  I  perish  with  hunger! 

18  ql  will  arise  and  go  to  my  fath- 
er, and  will  say  unto  him.  Father,  I 
have  sinned  against  heaven,  and  be- 
have two  wives,  one  beloved,  and  an- 
other hated,  and  they  have  borne  him 
children,  both  the  beloved  and  the 
hated;  and  if  the  firstborn  son  be  hers 
that  was  hated: 

16  Then  it  shall  be,  when  he  mak- 
eth  his  sons  to  inherit  that  which  he 
hath,  that  he  may  not  make  the  son 
of  the  beloved  firstborn  before  the  son 
of  the  hated,  which  is  indeed  the  first- 
born: 

17  But  he  shall  acknowledge  the 
son  of  the  hated  for  the  firstborn,  by 
giving  him  a  double  portion  of  all  that 
he  hath:  for  he  is  the  beginning  of 
his  strength;  the  right  of  the  firstborn 
is  his.

way  off,  his  father  saw  him,  and  had 
compassion,  and  ran,  and  fell  on  his 
neck,  and  kissed  him.

sFather,  I  have  sinned  against  heaven,

25  Now  his  elder  son  was  in  the 
field:  and  as  he  came  and  drew  nigh 
to  the  house,  he  heard  music  and 
(lancing. 

26  And  he  called  one  of  the  serv- 
ants, and  asked  what  these  things 
meant. 

27  And  he  said  unto  him.  Thy 
brother  is  come;  and  thy  father  hath 
killed  the  fatted  calf,  because  he  hath 
received  him  safe  and  sound. 

28  And  he  was  angry,  and  would 
not  go  in:  therefore  came  his  father 
out,  and  entreated  him. 

29  And  he  answering  said  to  his 
father,  Lo,  these  many  years  do  1 
serve  thee,  neither  transgressed  1  at 
any  time  thy  commandment;  and  yet 
thou  never  gavest  me  a  kid,  that  I 
might   make   merry   with    my   friends; 

30  But  as  soon  as  this  thy  son  was 
come,  which  hath  devoured  thy  living 
uwith  harlots,  thou  hast  killed  for  him 
the  fatted  calf. 

31  And  he  said  unto  him.  Son,  thou 
art  ever  with  me,  and  all  that  I  have 
is  thine. 

32  It  was  meet  that  we  should 
make  merry,  and  be  glad:  for  this  thy 
brother  was  dead,  and  is  alive  again; 
and  was  lost,  and  is  found.

1  And  he  said  also  unto  his  disci- 
ples. There  was  a  acertain  rich  man, 
which  had  a  steward;  and  the  same 
was  accused  unto  him  that  he  had 
wasted  his  goods. 

2  An(i  he  called  him,  and  said  un- 
to him.  How  is  it  that  I  hear  this  of 
thee?  give  an  baccount  of  thy  steward- 
ship; for  thou  mayest  be  no  longer 
steward. 

3  Then  the  steward  said  within 
himself,  What  shall  I  do?  for  my  lord 
taketh  away  from  me  the  stewardship: 
I  cannot  dig;  to  beg  I  am  ashamed. 

4  I  am  resolved  what  to  do,  that, 
when  I  am  put  out  of  the  stewardship, 
they  may  receive  me  into  their  houses. 

5  So  he  called  every  one  of  his 
lord's  debtors  unto  him,  and  said  unto 
the  first,  How  much  owest  thou  unto 
my  lord? 

6  And  he  said,  A  hundred  cmeas- 
ures  of  oil.  And  he  said  unto  him. 
Take  thy  bill,  and  sit  down  quickly, 
and  write  fifty. 

7  Then  said  he  to  another,  And  how 
much  owest  thou?  And  he  said,  A 
hundred  measures  of  wheat.  And  he 
said  unto  him.  Take  thy  bill,  and  write 
fourscore.

8  And  *the  lord  commended  the  un- 
just steward,  because  he  had  done 
wisely:  for  the  children  of  this  world 
are  in  their  generation  wiser  than  the 
children  of  light. 

9  And  I  say  unto  you,  dMake  to

is  least  is  faithful  also  in  much:  and 
he  that  is  unjust  in  the  least  is  unjust 
also  in  much. 

11  If  therefore  ye  have  not  been 
faithful  in  the  unrighteous  mammon, 
who  will  commit  to  your  trust  the 
true  riches? 

12  And  if  ye  have  not  been  faith- 
ful in  that  which  is  another  man's, 
who  shall  give  you  that  which  is  your 
own? 

13  No  servant  can  serve  two  mas- 
ters: for  either  he  will  hate  the  one, 
and  love  the  other;  or  else  he  will 
hold  to  the  one,  and  despise  the  other. 
Ye  cannot  serve  God  and  mammon.

*  This  lord  commended  the  shrewdness  of  his 
Ueward,  but  not  his  injustice. 


14  And  the  Pharisees  also,  who 
were  covetous,  heard  all  these  things: 
and  they  derided  him. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  are

men;  but  eGod  knoweth  your  hearts:

among  men  is  abomination  in  the

which  was  clothed  in  purple  and  fine 
linen,  and  fared  sumptuously  every 
day:

Abraham,  have  mercy  on  me,  and  send 
Lazarius,  that  he  may  dip  the  tip  of  his 
finger  in  water,  and  licool  my  tongue; 
for  I   iam  tormented  in  this  flame. 

25  But  Abraham  said,  Son,  jre- 
meraber  that  thou  in  thy  lifetime  re- 
ccivedst  thy  good  things,  and  likewise 
Lazarus  evil  things:  but  now  he  is 
comforted,   and   thou  art  tormented. 

26  And  beside  all  'this,  between  us 
and  you  there  is  a  great  gulf  fixed:  so 
that  they  which  would  pass  from  hence 
to  you  cannot;  neither  can  they  pass 
to  us,  that  would  come  from  thence. 

27  Then  he  said,  I  pray  thee  there- 
fore, father,  that  thou  wouldest  send 
him  to  my  father's  house: 

28  For  I  have  five  brethren;  that 
he  may  testify  unto  them,  lest  they 
also  come  into  this  place  of  torment.

millstone  were  hanged  about  his  neck,

Lord,  Increase  our  faith.

to  meat? 

8  And  will  not  rather  say  unto 
him.  Make  ready  wherewith  I  may  sup,

have  eaten  and  drunken;  and  after- 
ward thou  Shalt  eat  and  drink?

12  And  as  he  entered  into  a  certain 
village,  there  met  him  ten  men  that 
were  lepers,  which  cstood  afar  off: 

13  And  they  lifted  up  their  voices, 
and  said,  Jesus,  Master,  have  mercy 
on  us.

15  And  one  of  them,  when  he  saw 
that  he  was  healed,  turned  back,  and 
with  a  loud  voice  dgiorified  God. 

16  And  fell  down  on  his  face  at  his 
feet,  giving  him  thanks:  and  he  was 
a  eSamaritan. 

17  And  Jesus  answering  said,  Were 
there  not  ten  cleansed?  but  where  are 
the  nine? 

18  There  are  not  found  that  re-

stranger. 

19  And  he  said  unto  him.  Arise,, 
go  thy  way:  thy  faith  hath  made  thee 
whole. 

20  And  when  he  was  demanded  of 
the  Pharisees,  when  the  kingdom  of 
God  should  come,  he  answered  them 
and  said.  The  kingdom  of  God  cometh 
not  with  observation: 

21  Neither  shall  they  say,  Lo  here! 
or,  lo  there!  for,  behold,  the  kingdom 
of  God  is  within  you. 

22  And  he  said  unto  the  disciples. 
The  days  shall  come,  when  ye  shall  de- 
sire to  see  one  of  the  days  of  the  Son 
of  man,  and  ye  shall  not  see  it.

here;  or,  see  there:  go  not  after  them, 
nor  follow  them. 

24  For  as  the  lightning,  that  light-

21  And  all  flesh  died  that  moved 
upon  the  earth,  both  of  fowl,  and  of 
cattle,  and  of  beast,  and  of  every 
creeping  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth,   and   every   man: 

22  All  in  whose  nostrils  was  the 
breath  of  life,  of  all  that  was  in  the 
dry  land.  died. 

23  And  every  living  substance  was 
destroyed  which  was  upon  the  face  of

28  Likewise  also  as  it  was  in  iithe 
days  of  Lot;  they  did  eat,  they  drank, 
they  bought,  they  sold,  they  planted, 
they  builded; 

29  But  the  same  day  that  iLot 
went  out  of  Sodom  it  rained  fire  and 
brimstone  from  heaven,  and  destroyed 
them  all. 

30  Even  thus  shall  it  be  in  the  day 
when  the  Son  of  man  is  revealed. 

31  In  that  day,  he  which  shall  be 
upon  the  housetop,  and  his  stuff  in  the

from  the  earth:  and  Noah  only  re- 
mained alive,  and  they  that  were  with 
him  in  the  ark. 

24  And  the  waters  prevailed  upon 
the  earth  a  hundred  and  fifty  days. 

GENESIS  XIX :1  liAnd  there  came 
two  angels  to  Sodom  at  even;  and 
Lot  sat  in  the  gate  of  Sodom:  and  Lot 
seeing  them  rose  up  to  meet  them; 
and  he  bowed  himself  with  his  face 
toward  the  ground; 

2  And  he  said,  Behold  now,  my 
lords,  turn  in,  I  pray  you,  into  your 
servant's  house,  and  tarry  all  night, 
and  wash  your  feet,  and  ye  shall  rise 
up  early,  and  go  on  your  ways.  And 
they  said.  Nay;  but  we  will  abide  in 
the  street  all  night. 

3  And  he  pressed  upon  them  great- 
ly; and  they  turned  in  unto  him,  and 
entered  into  his  house;  and  he  made 
them  a  feast,  and  did  bake  unleavened 
bread,  and  they  did  eat. 

12  And  the  men  said  unto  Lot, 
Hast  thou  here  any  besides?  son  in 
law,  and  thy  sons,  and  thy  daughters, 
and  whatsoever  thou  hast  in  the  city, 
bring  them  out  of  this  place: 

13  For  we  will  destroy  this  place, 
because  the  cry  of  them  is  waxen 
great  before  the  face  of  the  Lord;  and 
the  Lord  hath  sent  us  to  destroy  it. 

GENESIS  xix:16  iAnd  while  he 
[Lot]  lingered,  the  men  laid  hold  up- 
on his  hand,  and  upon  the  hand  of 
his  wife,  and  upon  the  hand  of  his  two 
daughters:  the  Lord  being  merciful 
unto  him:  and  they  brought  him 
forth,  and  set  him  without  the  city. 

24  Then  the  Lord  rained  upon  So- 
dom and  upon  Gomorrah  brimstone 
and  fire  from  the  Lord  out  of  heaven;

1  And  he  spake  a  parable  unto 
them  to  this  end,  that  men  ought  al-

rock,  upon  the  craig  of  the  rock,  and

3  And  there  was  a  widow  in  that 
city;  and  she  came  unto  him,  saying. 
Avenge  me  of  mine  adversary. 

4  And  he  would  not  for  awhile: 
but  afterward  he  said  within  himself. 
Though  I  fear  not  God,  nor  regard 
man; 

5  Yet  because  this  widow  troubleth 
me,  I  will  avenge  her,  lest  by  her  con- 
tinual coming  she  weary  me. 

6  And  the  Lord  said.  Hear  what 
the  unjust  judge  saith. 

7  And  shall  not  God  avenge  his  own 
elect,  which  cry  day  and  night  unto

them  speedily.  Nevertheless,  when

breast,  saying,  God  be  merciful  to  me

saying.  Good  Master,  What  shall  I  do

to the  kingdom  of  God! 

25  For  it  is  easier  for  a  camel  to

rich  man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom

ZECHARIAH  viii:6  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts;  If  it  be  marvellous  in 
the  eyes  of  the  remnant  of  this  people 
in  these  days,  should  it  also  be  mar- 
vellous in  mine  eyes?  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts.

said  unto  his  father  and  to  his  moth- 
er, I  have  not  seen  him;  neither  did 
he  acknowledge  his  brethren,  nor  knew 
his  own  children:  for  they  have  ob- 
served thy  word,  and  kept  thy  cove- 
nant. 

JOB  xlii:10  xAnd  the  Lord  turned 
the  captivity  of  Job,  when  he  prayed 
for  his  friends:  also  the  Lord  gave 
Job  twice  as  much  as  he  had  before. 

PSALM  XXII  :1  yMy  God,  my  God, 
why  hast  thou  forsaken  me?  why  art 
thou  so  far  from  helping  me,  and 
from  the  words  of  my  roaring? 

*This  ruler  evidently  was  very  honest  in  all 
his  dealings  with  men.  and  upright  in  his  social 
relations;  but  he  made  an  idol  of  his  wealth: 
hence  this  must  be  surrendered  to  the  will  of 
Christ,  without  which  he  could  not  be  saved.  It 
is  not  so  much  the  amount  of  property  a  person 
has.  for  a  very  small  amount  may  separated  a 
man  from  the  kingdom  of  God. 


28  Then  Peter  said,  Lo,  we  have 
left  all,  and  followed  thee. 

29  And  he  said  unto  them.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  wThere  is  no  man  that 
hath  left  house,  or  parents,  or  breth- 
ren, or  wife,  or  children,  for  the  king- 
dom of  God's  sake, 

30  xWho  shall  not  receive  mani- 
fold more  in  this  present  time,  and  in 
the  world  to  come  life  everlasting. 

31  Then  he  took  unto  him  the 
twelve,  and  said  unto  them.  Behold, 
we  go  up  to  Jerusalem,  and  all  things 
ythat  are  written  by  the  prophets 
concerning  the  Son  of  man  shall  be 
accomplished. 

2  O  my  God,  I  cry  in  the  day  time, 
but  thou  hearest  not;  and  in  the  night 
season,  and  am  not  silent. 

3  But  thou  art  holy,  0  thou  that 
inhabitest  the  praises  of  Israel. 

4  Our  fathers  trusted  in  thee:  they 
trusted,   and  thou  didst  deliver  them. 

5  They  cried  unto  thee,  and  were 
delivered:  they  trusted  in  thee,  and 
were  not  confounded. 

6  But  I  am  a  worm,  and  no  man; 
a  reproach  of  men,  and  despised  of 
the  people. 

7  All  they  that  see  me  laugh  me 
to  scorn:  they  shoot  out  the  lip,  they 
shake  the  head,  saying, 

8  He  trusted  on  the  Lord  that  he 
would  deliver  him:  let  him  deliver 
him,  seeing  he  delighted  in  him. 

11  Be  not  far  from  me;  for  trouble 
is  near;   for  there  is  none  to  help. 

12  Many  bulls  have  compassed  me: 
strong  bulls  of  Bashan  have  beset  me 
round. 

13  They  gaped  upon  me  with  their 
mouths,  as  a  ravening  and  a  roaring 
lion. 

14  I  am  poured  out  like  water, 
and  all  my  bones  are  out  of  joint:  my 
heart  is  like  wax;  it  is  melted  in  the 
midst  of  my  bowels.

potsherd;  and  my  tongue  cleaveth  to 
my  jaws;  and  thou  hast  brought  me 
into  the  dust  of  death.

closed me:  they  pierced  my  hands  and

our  report?  and  to  whom  is  the  arm 
of  the  Lord  revealed? 

2  For  he  shall  grow  up  before  him 
as  a  tender  plant,  and  as  a  root  out  of 
a  dry  ground:  he  hath  no  form  nor 
comeliness;  and  when  we  shall  see 
him,  there  is  no  beauty  that  we  should 
desire  him. 

3  He  is  despised  and  rejected  of 
men;  a  man  of  sorrows,  and  acquainted 
with  grief:  and  we  hid  as  it  were  our 
faces  from  him;  he  was  despised,  and 
we  esteemed  him  not. 

4  Surely  he  hath  borne  our  griefs, 
and  carried  our  sorrows:  yet  we  did  es- 
teem him  stricken,  smitten  of  God, 
and  afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  wounded  for  our 
transgressions,  he  was  bruised  for  our 
iniquities:  the  chastisement  of  our 
peace  was  upon  him;  and  with  his 
stripes  we  are  healed.

astray;  we  have  turned  every  one  to 
his  own  way;  and  the  Lord  hath  laid 
on  him  the  iniquity  of  us  all. 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was

shall  do  unto  thee?  And  he  said,

ceive thy  sight:  thy  faith  hath  saved 
thee.

Parable  of  the  Pounds. 


CHAPTER  XIX. 

Zaccheus  converted.  1 1  Parable  of  the  pounds. 
28  Christ's  ride  into  Jerusalem.  41  Jesus  wept 
over  the  city. 

1  And  Jesus  entered  and  passed 
through  cjericho. 

2  And,  behold,  there  was  a  man 
named  Zaccheus,  which  was  the  chief 
among  the  publicans,  and  he  was 
rich. 

3  And  he  sought  to  see  Jesus  who 
he  was;  and  could  not  for  the  press, 
because  he  was  little  of  stature. 

4  And  he  ran  before,  and  climbed 
up  into  a  sycamore  tree  to  see  him; 
for  he  was  to  pass  that  way. 

5  And  when  Jesus  came  to  the 
place,  he  looked  up,  and  saw  him,  and 
said  unto  him,  Zaccheus,  make  haste, 
and  come  down;  for  to  day  I  must 
abide  at  thy  house. 

6  And  he  made  haste,  and  came 
down,  and  received  him  joyfully. 

7  And  when  they  saw  it,  they  all 
murmured,  saying,  That  he  was  gone 
to  be  guest  with  a  man  that  is  a  sin- 
ner. 

8  And  Zaccheus  stood,  and  said  un- 
to the  Lord;  Behold,  Lord,  the  half 
of  my  goods  I  give  to  the  poor;  and  if 
I  have  taken  anything  from  any  man 
by  dfalse  accusation,  I  restore  him 
fourfold. 

9  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  This 
day  is  salvation  come  to  this  house, 
forasmuch  as  he  also  is  a  son  of  Abra- 
ham. 

10  For  the  Son  of  man  is  come  to 
seek  and  to  save  that  which  was  lost. 

11  And  as  they  heard  these  things, 
he  added  and  spake  a  parable,  because 

which  he  spake  by  Joshua  the  son  of 
Nun. 

EXODUS  XXII  :1  dif  a  man  shall 
steal  an  ox,  or  a  sheep,  and  kill  it,  or 
sell  it;  he  shall  restore  five  oxen  for 
an  ox,  and  four  sheep  for  a  sheep. 

II.  SAMUEL  xii:6  And  he  shall 
restore  the  lamb  fourfold,  because  he 
did  this  thing,  and  because  he  had  no 


he  was  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  and  because 
they  thought  that  the  kingdom  of  God 
should  immediately  appear. 

12  He  said  therefore,  A  certain  no- 
bleman went  into  a  far  country  to  re- 
ceive for  himself  a  kingdom,  and  to 
return. 

13  And  he  called  his  ten  servants, 
and  delivered  them  ten  pounds,  and 
said  unto  them.  Occupy  till  I  come. 

14  But  his  citizens  hated  him,  and 
sent  a  message  after  him,  saying,  We 
will  not  have  this  man  to  reign  over 
us. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
he  was  returned,  having  received  the 
kingdom,  then  he  commanded  these 
servants  to  be  called  unto  him,  to 
whom  he  had  given  the  money,  that 
he  might  know  how  much  every  maa 
had  gained  by  trading. 

16  Then  came  the  first,  saying. 
Lord,  thy  pound  hath  gained  ten 
pounds. 

17  And  he  said  unto  him.  Well, 
thou  good  servant:  because  thou  hast 
been  faithful  in  a  very  little,  have 
thou  authority  over  ten  cities. 

18  And  the  second  came,  saying. 
Lord,  thy  pound  hath  gained  five 
pounds. 

19  And  he  said  likewise  to  him.  Be 
thou  also  over  five  cities. 

20  And  another  came,  saying,  Lord, 
behold,  here  is  thy  pound,  which  I 
have  kept  laid  up  in  a  napkin: 

21  For  I  feared  thee,  because  thou 
art  an  austere  man:  thou  takest  up 
that  thou  layedst  not  down,  and  reap- 
est  that  thou  didst  not  sow.

22  And  he  saith  iinli)  him,  eOut  oi' 
thine  own  mouth  will  I  judse  thee, 
thon  wicked  servant.  Thou  knewest 
that  I  was  an  austere  man,  taking  up 
that  I  laid  not  down,  and  reaping  that 
I  did  not  sow: 

23  Wherefore  then  gavest  not  thou 
my  money  into  the  hank,  that  at  my 
coming  I  might  have  required  mine 
own  with  usury? 

24  And  he  said  unto  them  that 
stood  by,  Take  from  him  the  pound, 
and  give  it  to  him  that  hath  ten 
pounds. 

25  (And  they  said  unto  him,  Lord, 
he  hath  ten  pounds.) 

26  For  I  say  unto  you,  That  unto 
every  one  which  hath  shall  be  given; 
and  from  him  that  hath  not,  even 
*that  he  hath  shall  be  taken  away 
from  him. 

27  But  those  mine  enemies,  which 
would  not  that  I  should  reign  over 
them,  bring  hither,  and  slay  them  be- 
fore me. 

28  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  went  before,  ascending  up  to  Jeru- 
salem. 

29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he 
was  come  nigh  to  Bethphage  and 
Bethany,  at  the  mount  called  the 
mount  of  Olives,  he  sent  two  of  his 
disciples, 

30  Saying,    Go    ye  into  the   village 

and  I  will  restore  it  you. 

11.  SAiMUEL  i:10  eAnd  David  said 
unto  him  [an  Amalekite],  Thy  blood 
be  upon  thy  head:  for  thy  mouth  hath 
testified  against  thee,  saying,  I  have 
slain  the  Lord's  anointed. 

JOB  xv:6  Thine  [Job's]  own  mouth 
condemneth     thee,    and    not    I:     yea,

that  hath  not.  even  that  which  he  hath  shall  be 
taken  away  from  him.  Somelhinir  can  never  be 
taken  from  nothing.  But  this  does  not  explain 
the  case.  The  fact  is.  every  man  has  the  priv- 
ilcKe  of  securinif  eternal  life,  throutrh  repent- 
ance and  faith  in  Jesus  Christ.  This  privilCkre 
Is  worth  more  to  every  man  than  all  things  be-

opportunity  will  be  taken  from  all  persons  who 
netrlect  to  improve  it.

entering  ye  shall  find  a  colt  tied, 
whereon  yet  never  man  sat:  loose  him, 
and  bring  him  hither. 

31  And  if  any  man  ask  you,  Why 
do  you  loose  him?  thus  shall  ye  say 
unto  him.  Because  fthe  Lord  hath  need 
of  him. 

32  And  they  that  were  sent  went 
their  way,  and  found  even  as  he  had 
said  unto  them. 

33  And  as  they  were  loosing  the 
colt,  the  owners  thereof  said  unto 
them.  Why  loose  ye  the  colt? 

34  And  they  said.  The  Lord  hath 
need  of  him. 

35  And  they  brought  him  to  Jesus: 
and  they  cast  gtheir  garments  upon 
the  colt,  and  they  set  Jesus  thereon. 

36  And  as  he  went,  they  spread 
their  clothes  in  the  way. 

37  And  when  he  was  come  nigh, 
even  now  at  the  descent  of  the  mount 
of  Olives,  the  whole  multitude  of  the 
disciples  "began  to  rejoice  and  praise 
God  with  a  loud  voice  for  all  the 
mighty  works  that  they  had  seen: 

38  Saying,  hBlessed  be  the  King 
that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord: 
peace  in  heaven,  and  glory  in  the 
highest. 

39  And  some  of  the  Pharisees  from 
among  the  multitude  said  imto  him

40  And  he  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  I  tell  you  that,  if  these  should 
hold  their  peace,  the  stones  would  im- 
mediately cry  out. 

41  And  when  he  was  come  near, 
he  beheld  the  city,  and  wept  over  it, 

42  Saying,  If  thou  hadst  known, 
even  thou,  at  least  in  this  thy  day, 
the  things  which  belong  unto  thy 
peace!  but  now  they  are  hid  from 
thine  eyes. 

43  For  the  days  shall  come  upon 
thee,  that  thine  enemies  shall  icast  a

round,  and  keep  thee  in  on  every  side.

therein,  and  them  that  bought;

from  heaven,  or  of  men? 

5  And  they  reasoned  within  them- 
selves, saying,  If  we  shall  say,  From 
heaven;  he  will  say,  Why  then  be- 
lieved ye  him  not? 

6  But  and  if  we  say.  Of  men;  all

I)ersuaded  that  John  was  a  prophet. 

7  And  they  answered,  that  "they 
could  not  tell  whence  it  was. 

8  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  oNei- 
ther  tell  I  you  by  what  authority  I  do 
these  things. 

9  Then  began  he  to  speak  to  the 
people  this  parable;  A  certain  man 
planted  a  vineyard,  and  let  it  forth  to 
husbandmen,  and  went  into  a  far 
country  for  a  long  time. 

10  And  at  the  season  I'he  sent  a 
servant  to  the  husbandmen,  that  they 
should  give  him  of  the  fruit  of  the 
vineyard:  but  the  husbandmen  beat 
him,  and  sent  him  away  empty. 

11  And  again  he  sent  another  serv- 

MALACHI  iv:5  Behold,  I  [the

devices  of  the  crafty,  so  that  their 
hands  cannot  perform  their  enterprise.

froward  is  carried  headlong. 

II.  CHRONICLES,  xxxvi:15'  pAnd 
the  Lord  God  of  their  fathers  sent  to 
them  by  his  messengers,  rising  up  be- 
times, and  sending;  because  he  had 
compassion  on  his  people,  and  on  his 
dwellingplace: 

16  But  they  mocked  the  messengers 
of  God,  and  despised  his  words,  and 
misused  his  prophets,  until  the  wrath 
of  the  Lord  arose  against  his  people, 
till  there  was  no  remedy. 

NEHEMIAH  ix:30  qYet  many 
years    didst    thou    forbear    them,  and 


ant:  and  they  beat  him  ahso,  and  en- 
treated him  shamefully,  and  sent  him 
away   empty. 

12  qAnd  again  he  sent  a  third:  and 
they  wounded  him  also,  and  cast  him 
out. 

13  Then  said  the  Lord  of  the  vine- 
yard. What  shall  I  do?  I  will  send 
rmy  beloved  son:  it  may  be  they  will 
reverence  him  when  they  see  him. 

14  But  when  the  husbandmen  saw 
him,  they  reasoned  among  themselves, 
saying,  sThis  is  the  heir:  come,  let  us 
kill  him,  that  the  inheritance  may  be 
ours. 

15  So  they  cast  him  out  of  the 
vineyard,  and  killed  him.  What  there- 
fore shall  the  Lord  of  the  vineyard  do 
unto  them? 

IG  He  shall  come  and  destroy  these 
husbandmen,  and  shall  tgive  the  vine- 
yard to  others.  And  when  they  heard 
it,  they  said,  God  forbid. 

17    And  he  beheld   them,   and  said, 

testifiedst  against  them  by  thy  Spirit 
in  thy  prophets:  yet  would  they  not 
give  ear:  therefore  gavest  thou  them 
into  the  hand  of  the  people  of  the 
lands. 

ISAIAH  vii:14  rTherefore  the  Lord

PSALM  cxviii:  22  uThe  stone  which

stone  was  cut  out  without  hands, 
which  smote  the  image  upon  his  feet 
that  were  of  iron  and  clay,  and  brake 
them  to  pieces.

26  And  they  could  not  take  hold  of 
his  words  before  the  people:  and  they 
marvelled  at  his  answer,  and  held 
their  peace. 

27  Then  came  to  him  certain  of  the 
Sadducees,  which  deny  that  there  is 
any  resurrection;  and  they  asked  him, 

28  Saying,  Master,  wMoses  wrote 
unto  us.  If  any  man's  brother  die,  hav- 
ing a  wife,  and  he  die  without  chil- 
dren, that  his  brother  should  take  his 
wife,  and  raise  up  seed  unto  his  broth- 
er. 

29  There  were  therefore  seven 
brethren:  and  the  first  took  a  wife,  and 
died  without  children. 

30  And  the  second  took  her  to 
wife,   and   he   died   childless. 

31  And  the  third  took  her;  and  in 
like  manner  the  seven  also:  and  they 
left  no  children,  and  died. 

32  Last  of  all  the  woman  died  also. 

33  Therefore  in  the  resurrection 
whose  wife  of  them  is  she?  for  seven 
had  her  to  wife. 

34  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
them.  The  children  of  this  world  mar- 
ry, and  are  given  in  marriage: 

35  But  they  which  shall  be  ac- 
counted worthy  to  obtain  that  world, 
and  the  resurrection  from  the  dead, 
neither  marry,  nor  are  given  in  mar- 
riage: 

36  xNeither  can  they  die  any  more: 
for  they  are  equal  unto  the  angels; 
and  are  the  children  of  God,  being  the 

stranger:  her  husband's  brother  shall 
go  in  unto  her,  and  take  her  to  him  to 
wife,  and  perform  the  duty  of  a  hus- 
band's brother  unto  her. 

DANIEL  xii:2  xAnd  many  of  them 
that  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth 
shall  awake,  some  to  everlasting  life, 
and  some  to  shame  and  everlasting 
contempt. 

3  And  they  that  be  wise  shall  shine 
as  the  brightness  of  the  firmament; 
and  they  that  turn  many  to  righteous- 
ness, as  the  stars  for  ever  and  ever.

children  of  the  resurrection. 

37  Now  that  the  dead  are  raised, 
yeven  Moses  shewed  at  the  bush,  when 
he  calleth  the  Lord  the  God  of  Abra- 
ham, and  the  God  of  Isaac,  and  the 
God  of  Jacob. 

38  For  he  is  not  a  God  of  the  dead. 
l)ut  of  the  living:  for  all  live  unto 
him. 

39  Then  certain  of  the  scribes  an- 
swering said,  Master,  thou  hast  well 
said. 

40  And  after  that  they  durst  not 
ask   him   any   question   at  all. 

41  And  he  said  unto  them.  How 
say   they   that   Christ   is   David's   son? 

42  And  David  himself  saith  in  the 
book  of  Psalms,  zThe  Lord  said  unto 
my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand, 

43  Till  I  make  thine  enemies  thy 
footstool. 

44  David  therefore  calleth  him 
Lord,  how  is  he  then  his  son? 

45  Then  in  the  audience  of  all  the 
people  he  said  unto  his  disciples, 

46  Beware  of  the  scribes,  which 
desire  to  walk  in  long  robes,  and  love 
greetings     in     the     markets,     and  the 

of  teach  for  hire,  and  the  prophets 
thereof  divine  for  money:  yet  will 
they  lean  upon  the  Lord,  and  say,  Is 
not  the  Lord  among  us?  none  evil  can 
come  upon  us. 

12  Therefore  shall  Zion  for  your 
sake  be  ploughed  as  a  field,  and  Jeru- 
salem shall  become  heaps,  and  the 
mountain  of  the  house  as  the  high 
places  of  the  forest. 

EXODUS  iii:6  yMoreover  he  said. 
I  am  the  God  of  thy  father,  the  God 
of  Abraham,  the  God  of  Isaac,  and  the 
God  of  Jacob.  And  Moses  hid  his 
face;  for  he  was  afraid  to  look  upon 
God.

CHAPTER  XXI. 

Christ  commended  the  poor  widow.  5  Jesus 
foretold  the  destruction  of  Jeru.salem.  25  The 
.sitfD.s  of  the  last  days. 

1  And  he  looked  up,  and  saw  the 
rich  men  casting  their  gifts  into  the 
treasury. 

2  And  he  saw  also  a  certain  poor 
widow  casting  in  thither  two  mites. 

3  And  he  said,  Of  a  truth  I  say  un- 
to you,  athat  this  poor  widow  hath 
cast  in  more  than  they  all: 

4  For  all  these  have  of  their  abun- 
dance cast  in  unto  the  offerings  of 
God:  but  she  of  her  penury  hath  cast 
in  all  the  living  that  she  had. 

5  And  as  some  spake  of  the  tem- 
ple, how  it  was  adorned  with  goodly 
stones  and  gifts,  he  said, 

6  As  for  these  things  which  ye  be- 
hold, the  days  will  come,  in  the  which 
bthere  shall  not  be  left  one  stone  upon 
another,  that  shall  not  be  thrown

cast  out  of  my  sight;  and  Israel  shall 
be  a  proverb  and  a  byword  among  all 
people:

7  And  they  asked  him,  saying,  Mas- 
ter, but  when  shall  these  things  be? 
and  what  sign  will  there  be  when 
these  things  shall  come  to  pass? 

8  And  he  said,  Take  heed  that  ye 
be  not  deceived:  for  many  shall  come 
in  my  name,  saying,  I  am  Christ; 
and  the  time  draweth  near:  go  ye  not 
therefore  after  them. 

9  But  when  ye  shall  hear  of  wars 
and  commotions,  be  not  terrified:  for 
these  things  must  first  come  to  pass; 
but  the  end  is  not  by  and  by.. 

10  Then  said  he  unto  them.  Nation 
shall  rise  against  nation,  and  kingdom 
against  kingdom: 

11  And  great  earthquakes  shall  be 
in  divers  places,  and  famines,  and  pes- 
tilences; and  fearful  sights  and  great 
signs  shall  there  be  from  heaven. 

12  But  before  all  these,  they  shall 
lay  their  hands  on  you,  and  persecute 
you,  delivering  you  up  to  the  syna- 
gogues, and  into  prisons,  being  brought 
before  kings  and  rulers  for  my 
name's  sake. 

13  And  it  shall  turn  to  you  for  a 
testimony. 

14  Settle  it  therefore  in  your  hearts, 
not  to  meditate  before  what  ye  shall 
answer: 

15  For  I  will  give  you  a  tnouth  and 
wisdom,    which    all    your    adversaries 

house  of  Judah  have  dealt  very  treach- 
erously against  me,  saith  the  Lord. 

MIC  AH  iii:12  Therefore  shall  Zion 
for  your  sake  be  ploughed  as  a  field, 
and  Jerusalem  shall  become  heaps, 
and  the  mountain  of  the  house  as  the

the  city  and  the  sanctuary:  and  the 
end  thereof  shall  be  with  a  flood,  and 


shall  not  be  able  to  gainsay  nor  resist. 

16  cFor  ye  shall  be  betrayed  both 
by  parents,  and  brethren,  and  kinsfolk, 
and  friends;  and  some  of  you  shall 
they  cause  to  be  put  to  death. 

17  And  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  men 
for  my  name's  sake. 

18  But  there  shall  not  a  hair  of 
your  head  perish. 

19  In  your  patience  possess  ye 
your  souls. 

20  And  when  ye  shall  see  Jerusalem 
compassed  with  armies,  then  know 
that  the  desolation  thereof  is  nigh, 

21  Then  let  them  which  are  in  Ju- 
daea flee  to  the  mountains;  and  let 
them  which  are  in  the  midst  of  it  de- 
part out;  and  let  not  them  that  are  in 
the  countries  enter  thereinto. 

22  For  these  be  the  days  of  ven- 
geance, that  dall  things  which  are 
written  may  be  fulfilled. 

23  But  woe  unto  them  that  are  with 
child,  and  to  them  that  give  suck,  in 
those  days!  for  there  shall  be  great 
distress  in  the  land,  and  wrath  upon 
this  people. 

24  And  they  shall  fall  by  the  edge 
of  the  sword,  and  shall  be  led  away 
captive  into  all  nations:  and  Jerusalem 
shall  be  trodden  down  of  the  Gentiles,

fulfilled.

are  determined.

shall  confirm  the  covenant  with  many 
for  one  week:  and  in  the  midst  of  the 
week  he  shall  cause  the  sacrifice  and 
the  oblation  to  cease,  and  for  the  over- 
spreading of  abominations  he  shall 
make  it  desolate,  even  until  the  con-

which  are  coming  on  the  earth:  for

all  be  fulfilled. 

33  Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass

he  went  out,  and  abode  in  the  mount

CHAPTER  XXIL 

Judas  covenanted  to  betray  Christ.  7  Peter 
and  John  were  sent  to  prepare  the  Passover.  19 
Christ  instituted  the  Lord's  supper.  21  Jesus 
foretold  that  Judas  would  betray  him.  31 
Christ  foretold  Peter's  denial.  39  Jesus  and  his 
disciples  went  to  the  mount  of  Olives.  47  Judas 
came  with  a  multitude  who  took  Jesus  to  the 
hitrh  priest.  54  Peter  followed  afar  off,  and 
went  into  the  hall,  and  thrice  denied  his  master. 
66  Early  in  the  morning  Jesus  was  led  into  the 
council. 

1  Now  the  feast  of  unleavened 
bread  drew  nigh,  which  is  called  the 
passover. 

2  And  gthe  chief  priests  and 
scribes  sought  how  they  might  kill 
him;   for  they  feared  the  people. 

3  Then  entered  Satan  into  Judas 
surnamed  Iscariot,  being  of  the  nvim- 
ber  of  the  twelve. 

4  And  he  went  his  way,  and  com- 
muned with  the  chief  priests  and  cap- 
tains, how  he  might  betray  him  unto 
them.

6  And  he  promised,  and  sought  op- 
portunity to  betray  him  unto  them  in 
the  absence  of  the  multitude. 

7  Then  came  the  day  of  unleavened 
bread,  when  the  ipassover  must  be 
killed. 

8  And  he  ^sent  Peter  and  John, 
saying,  Go  and  prepare  us  the  passo- 
ver,  that  we  may  eat. 

9  And  they  said  unto  him.  Where 
wilt  thou  that  we  prepare? 

10  And  he  said  unto  them.  Behold, 
when  ye  are  entered  into  the  city, 
there  shall  a  man  meet  you,  bearing 
a  pitcher  of  water;  follow  him  into 
the  house  where  he  entereth  in. 

11  And  ye  shall  say  unto  the  good- 
man  of  the  house,  The  Master  saith 
unto  thee.  Where  is  the  guestcham- 
ber,  where  I  shall  eat  the  passover 
with  my  disciples? 

12  And  he  shall  snew  you  a  large 
upper  room  furnished:  there  make 
ready. 

13  And  they  went,  and  found  as  he 
had  said  unto  them:  and  they  made 
ready  the  passover. 

14  And  when  the  hour  was  come, 
he  sat  down,  and  the  twelve  apostles 
with  him. 

15  And  he  said  unto  them.  With 
desire  I  have  desired  to  eat  this  pass- 
over  with  you  before  I  suffer: 

[Jesus]  my  price;  and  if  not,  forbear. 
So  they  weighed  for  my  price  thirty 
pieces  of  silver. 

EXODUS  xii:5  iYour  lamb  [for  the

goats : 

6  And  ye  shall  keep  it  up  until  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  same  month: 
and  the  whole  assembly  of  the  con- 
gregation of  Israel  shall  kill  it  in  the 
evening.

thanks,  and  said,  Take  this,  and  di- 
vide it  among  yourselves: 

18  For  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not 
drink  of  the  fruit  of  the  vine,  until 
the  kingdom  of  God  shall  come. 

19  And  he  took  bread,  and  gave 
thanks,  and  brake  it,  and  gave  unto 
them,  saying.  This  is  my  body  which 
is  given  for  you:  this  do  in  remem- 
brance of  me. 

20  Likewise  also  the  cup  after  sup- 
per, saying.  This  cup  is  the  new  testa- 
ment in  my  blood,  which  is  shed  for 
you. 

21  jBut,  behold,  the  hand  of  him 
that  betrayeth  me  is  with  me  on  the 
table.

eth,  as  it  was  determined:  but  woe 
unto  that  man  by  whom  he  is  be-

23  And  they  began  to  inquire 
among  themselves,  which  of  them  it 
was  that  should  do  this  thing. 

24  And  there  was  also  a  istrife 
among  them,  which  of  them  should 
be  accounted  the  greatest. 

25  And  he  said  unto  them.  The 
kings  of  the  Gentiles  exercise  lord- 
love  they  [the  Jews]  are  my  adver- 
saries:  but  I  give  myself  unto  prayer.

2G  And  ye  shall  not  be  so:  but  he 
that  is  greatest  among  you,  let  him  be 
as  the  younger;  and  he  that  is  chief, 
as  he  that  doth  serve. 

27  For  whether  is  greater,  he  that 
sitteth  at  meat,  or  he  that  serveth? 
is  not  he  that  sitteth  at  meat?  but  I 
am  among  you  as  he  that  serveth. 

28  Ye  are  they  which  have  con- 
tinued with  me  in  my  temptations. 

29  And  I  appoint  unto  you  a  king- 
dom, as  my  Father  hath  appointed  un- 
to me; 

30  That  ye  may  eat  and  drink  at 
my  table  in  my  kingdom,  mand  sit  on 
thrones  judging  the  twelve  tribes  of 
Israel. 

31  And  the  Lord  said,  Simon,  Si- 
mon, behold,  Satan  hath  desired  to 
have  you.  that  he  may  nsift  you  as 
wheat: 

32  But  I  have  prayed  for  thee,  that 
thy  faith  fail  not:  and  owhen  thou 
art  converted,  strengthen  thy  breth- 
ren. 

33  And  he  said  unto  him.  Lord,  1 
am  ready  to  go  with  thee,  both  into 
prison,  and  to  death. 

PSALM  xlix:14  mLike  sheep  they 
are  laid  in  the  grave;  death  shall  feed 
on  them;  and  the  upright  shall  have 
dominion  over  them  in  the  morning: 
and  their  beauty  shall  consume  in  the 
grave  from   their  dwelling. 

15  But  God  will  redeem  my  soul 
from  the  power  of  the  grave:  for  he 
shall   receive   me. 

AMOS  ix:9  nFor  lo,  I  will  com- 
mand, and  I  will  sift  the  house  of  Is- 
rael among  all  nations,  like  as  corn  is 
sifted  in  a  sieve,  yet  shall  not  the 
least  grain  fall  upon  the  earth. 

PS.VLM  li:12  oRestore  unto  me  the 
joy  of  thy  salvation;  and  uphold  me 
with  thy  free  Spirit. 

13  Then  will  I  teach  transgressors 
thy  ways;  and  sinners  shall  be  con- 
verted unto  thee.

34  And  he  said,  I  tell  thee,  Peter, 
the  cock  shall  not  crow  this  day,  be- 
fore that  thou  Shalt  thrice  deny  that 
thou  knowest  me. 

35  And  he  said  unto  them.  When 
1  sent  you  without  purse,  and  scrip, 
and  shoes,  lacked  ye  any  thing?  And 
they   said.  Nothing. 

36  Then  said  he  unto  them.  But 
now,  he  that  hath  a  purse,  let  him 
take  it,  and  likewise  his  scrip:  and 
he  that  hath  no  sword,  let  him  sell 
his  garment,  and  buy  one. 

37  For  I  say  unto  you,  that  this 
that  is  written  must  yet  be  accom- 
plished in  me,  pAnd  he  was  reckoned 
among  the  transgressors:  for  the 
things  concerning  me  have  an  end. 

38  And  they  said.  Lord,  behold, 
here  are  two  swords.  And  he  said  un- 
to them.  It  is  enough. 

39  And  he  came  out,  and  went,  as 
he  was  wont,  to  the  mount  of  Olives; 
and  his  disciples  also  followed  him. 

40  And  when  he  was  at  the  place, 
he  said  unto  them,  qPray  that  ye  enter 
not  into  temptation. 

41  And  he  was  withdrawn  from 
them  about  a  stone's  cast,  and  kneeled 
down,  and  prayed, 

42  Saying,  Father,  if  thou  be  will- 
divide  him  [Christ]  a  portion  with  the 
great,  and  he  shall  divide  the  spoil 
with  the  strong;  because  he  hath 
poured  out  his  soul  unto  death:  and 
he  was  numbered  with  the  tran.sgres- 
sors;  and  he  bare  the  sin  of  many, 
and  made  intercession  for  the  trans- 
gressors. 

PSALM  xcv:8  qHarden  not  your 
heart,  as  in  the  provocation,  and  as 
in  the  day  of  temptation  in  the  wil- 
derness: 

9  When  your  fathers  tempted  me, 
proved  me,  and  saw  my  work. 

10  Forty  years  long  was  I  grieved 
with  this  generation,  and  said.  It  is  a 
people  that  do  err  in  their  heart,  and 
they  have  not  known  my  ways: 

11  I'nto  whom  I  sware  in  my  wrath 
that  they  should  not  enter  into  my 
rest.

ing,  remove  this  cup  from  me:  never-

43  And  there  appeared  an  angel 
unto  him  from  heaven,  strengthening 
him. 

44  And  being  in  an  agony  he  prayed 
more  earnestly:  and  his  sweat  was  as 
it  were  great  drops  of  blood  falling 
down  to  the  ground. 

45  And  when  he  rose  up  from  pray- 
er, and  was  come  to  his  disciples,  he 
found  them  sleeping  for  sorrow, 

46  And  said  unto  them.  Why  sleep 
ye?  rise  and  pray,  lest  ye  enter  into 
temptation. 

47  And  while  he  yet  spake,  behold 
a  multitude,  and  he  that  was  called 
Judas,  one  of  the  twelve,  went  before 
them,  and  drew  near  unto  Jesus  rto 
kiss  him. 

48  But  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Judas, 
sbetrayest  thou  the  Son  of  man  with 
a  kiss? 

49  When  they  which  were  about 
him  saw  what  would  follow,  they  said 
unto  him,  Lord,  shall  we  smite  with 
the  sword? 

50  And  one  of  them  smote  the  ser- 
vant of  the  high  priest,  and  cut  off  his 
right  ear. 

51  And  Jesus  answered  and  said. 
Suffer  ye  thus  far.  And  he  touched 
his  ear,  and  thealed  him. 

52  Then    Jesus  said  unto  the  chief 

IL  SAMUEL  XX :  9  rAnd  Joab  said 
to  Amasa,  Art  thou  in  health,  my  bro- 
ther? And  Joab  took  Amasa  by  the 
beard  with  the  right  hand  to  kiss  him. 

10  But  Amasa  took  no  heed  to  the 
sword  that  was  in  Joab's  hand:  so  he 
smote  him  therewith  in  the  fifth  rib, 
and  shed  out  his  bowels  to  the  ground, 
and  struck  him  not  again;  and  he 
died. 

PSALM  lv:12  sFor  it  was  not  an 
enemy  that  reproached  me;  then  I 
could  have  borne  it:  neither  was  it  he 
that  hated  me  that  did  magnify  him- 


priests,  and  captains  of  the  temple, 
and  the  elders,  which  were  come  to 
him.  Be  ye  come  out,  as  against  a 
thief,  with  swords  and  staves? 

53  When  I  was  daily  with  you  in 
the  temple,  ye  stretched  forth  no  hands 
against  me:  ubut  this  is  your  hour, 
and  the  power  of  darkness. 

54  Then  took  they  him,  and  led 
him,  and  brought  him  into  the  high 
priest's  house,  and  Peter  followed  afar 
off. 

55  And  when  they  had  kindled  a 
fire  in  the  midst  of  the  hall,  and  were 
set  down  together,  Peter  sat  down, 
among  them. 

56  But  a  certain  maid  beheld  him 
as  he  sat  by  the  fire,  and  earnestly 
looked  upon  him,  and  said.  This  man 
was  also  with  him. 

57  And  he  denied  him,  saying.  Wo- 
man, I  know  him  not. 

58  And  after  a  little  while  another 
saw  him,  and  said.  Thou  art  also  of 
them.     And  Peter  said,  Man  I  am  not. 

59  And  about  the  space  of  one 
hour  after  another  confidentially  af- 
firmed, saying,  Of  a  truth  this  fellow 
also  was  with  him;  for  he  is  a  Galile- 
an. 

60  And  Peter  said,  Man,  I  know  not 
what  thou  sayest.  And  immediately, 
while  he  yet  spake,  the  cock  crew. 

61  And  the  Lord  turned,  and  looked 
upon  Peter.      And  vPeter  remembered 

self  against  me;  then  I  would  have 
hid  myself  from  him:

thou  Shalt  bruise  his  heel.

things  hath  mine  hand  made,  and  all 
those  things  have  been,  saith  the  Lord:

him  that  is  poor  and  of  a  contrite 
spirit,  and  trembleth  at  my  word.

saying,  We  found  this  fellow  pervert- 
ing the  nation,  and  forbidding  to  give 
tribute  to  Csesar,  saying  that  he  him-

asked  whether  the  man  were  a  Gali-

7  And  as  soon  as  he  knew  that  he 
belonged  unto  Herod's  jurisdiction, 
he  sent  him  to  Herod,  who  himself  al- 
so was  at  Jerusalem  at  that  time. 

8  And  when  Herod  saw  Jesus,  he 
was  exceeding  glad:  for  he  was  desir- 
ous to  see  him  of  a  long  season,  be- 
cause he  had  heard  many  things  of 
him;  and  he  hoped  to  have  seen  some 
miracle  done  by  him. 

9  Then  he  questioned  with  him  in 
many  words;  but  bhe  answered  him 
nothing. 

10  And  the  chief  priests  and  scribes 
stood  and  vehemently  accused  him. 

11  cAnd  Herod  with  his  men  of 
war  set  him  at  nought,  and  mocked 
him,  and  arrayed  him  in  a  gorgeous 
robe,  and  sent  him  again  to  Pilate. 

12  And  the  same  day  Pilate  and 
Herod  were  made  friends  together; 
for  before  they  were  at  enmity  be- 
tween themselves. 

13  And  Pilate,  when  he  had  called 
together  the  chief  priests  and  the  rul- 
ers and  the  people, 

14  Said  unto  them.  Ye  have  brought 
this  man  unto  me,  as  one  that  per- 
verteth  the  people;  and,  behold,  I, 
having  examined  him  before  you,  have 
dfound  no  fault  in  this  man  touching 
those  things  whereof  ye  accuse  him:

17  (For  of  necessity  he  must  re- 
lease one  unto  them  at  the  feast.) 

18  And  they  cried  out  all  at  once, 
saying,  Away  with  this  man,  and  re- 
lease unto  us  Barabbas: 

19  (Who  for  a  certain  sedition  made 
in  the  city,  and  for  emurder,  was  cast 
into  prison.) 

20  Pilate  therefore,  willing  to  re- 
lease Jesus,   spake   again   to  them. 

21  But  they  cried,  saying,  Crucify 
him,  crucify  him. 

22  And  he  said  unto  them  the  third 
time.  Why,  what  evil  hath  he  done?  I 
have  found  no  cause  of  death  in  him: 
I  will  therefore  chastise  him,  and  let 
him  go. 

23  And  they  were  instant  with  loud 
voices,  requiring  that  he  might  be 
crucified:  and  the  voices  of  them  and 
of  the  chief  priests  prevailed.

it  should  be  as  they  required.

the  place,  which  is  called  Calvary, 
there  kthey  crucified  him,  and  the 
malefactors,  one  on  the  right  hand,

written  over  him  in  letters  of  Greek, 
and  Latin,  and  Hebrew,  THIS  IS  THE 
KING   OF   THE   JEWS. 

39  And  one  of  the  malefactors  which 
were  hanged  prailed  on  him,  saying, 
If  thou  be  Christ,  save  thyself  and  us. 

40  But  the  other  answering  re- 
buked him,  saying,  Dost  not  thou  fear 
God,  seeing  thou  art  in  the  same  con- 
demnation? 

41  And  we  indeed  justly;  for  we  re- 
ceive the  due  reward  of  our  deeds:  but 
this  man  hath  done  nothing  amiss. 

42  And  he  said  unto  Jesus,  Lord, 
remember  me  when  thou  comest  inta 
thy  kingdom. 

43  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Verily 
I  say  unto  thee.  To  day  shalt  thou  be 
with  me  in  Paradise. 

44  And  it  was  about  the  qsixth 
hour,  and  there  was  a  darkness  over 
all  the  earth  until  the  ninth  hour. 

45  And  the  sun  was  darkened,  and 
the  vail  of  the  temple  was  rent  in  the 
midst. 

46  And  when  Jesus  had  cried  with 
a  loud  voice,  he  said,  rFather,  into  thy 
hands  I  commend  my  spirit:  and  hav- 
ing said  thus,  he  gave  up  the  ghost.

man. 

48  And  sail  the  people  that  came 
together  to  that  sight,  beholding  the 
things  which  were  done,  smote  their 
breasts,  and  returned. 

49  tAnd  all  his  acquaintance,  and 
the  women  that  followed  him  from 
Galilee,  stood  afar  off,  beholding  these 
things. 

50  And,  behold,  there  was  a  man 
named  Joseph,  a  counsellor;  and  he 
was  a  good  man,  and  a  just: 

51  (The  same  had  not  consented  to 
the  counsel  and  deed  of  them:)  he 
was  of  Arimathea,  a  city  of  the  Jews; 
who  also  himself  waited  for  the  king- 
dom of  God. 

52  This  man  went  unto  Pilate,  and 
begged  the  body  of  Jesus. 

53  And  he  took  it  down,  and 
wrapped  it  in  linen,  and  laid  it  in  a 
usepulchre  that  was  hewn  in  stone, 
wherein  never  man  before  was  laid. 

54  And  that  day  was  the  prepara- 
tion, and  the  sabbath  drew  on. 

55  And  the  women  also,  which 
came  with  him  from  Galilee,  followed 
after,  and  beheld  the  sepulchre,  and 
how  his  body  was  laid.

1  Now  upon  'the  first  day  of  the 
week,  very  early  in  the  morning,  they 
came  unto  the  sepulchre,  bringing  the 
spices  which  they  had  prepared,  and 
certain  others  with  them. 

2  And  they  found  the  stone  rolled 
away   from    the   sepulchre. 

3  And  they  entered  in,  and  found 
not  the  body  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they 
were  much  perplexed  thereabout,  be- 
hold, two  men  stood  by  them  in  shin- 
ing garments: 

5  And  as  they  were  afraid,  and 
bowed  down  their  faces  to  the  earth, 
they  said  unto  them,  Why  seek  ye  the 
living  among  the  dead? 

6  He  is  not  here,  but  is  risen:  re- 
member how  he  spake  unto  you  when 
he  was  yet  in  Galilee. 

7  Saying,  kThe  Son  of  man  must 
be  delivered  into  the  hands  of  sinful 
men,  and  be  crucified,  and  the  third 
day  rise  again. 

10  But  the  seventh  day  is  the  sab-

11  For  in  six  days  the  Lord  made 
heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all 
that  in  them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh 
day:  wherefore  the  Lord  blessed  the 
sabbath  day,  and  hallowed  it. 

ISAIAH  liii:8  k[Christ]  was  taken

Sabbaths  which  commemorated  the  resurrec-

day  to  this  by  Christians. 


8  lAnd  they  remembered  his  words, 

9  And  returned  from  the  sepulchre, 
and  told  all  these  things  unto  the  elev- 
en, and  to  all  the  rest. 

10  It  was  Mary  Magdalene,  and  Jo- 
anna, and  Mary  the  mother  of  James, 
and  other  women  that  were  with  them, 
which  told  these  things  unto  the 
apostles. 

11  And  their  words  seemed  to  them 
as  idle  tales,  and  they  believed  them 
not. 

12  Then  arose  Peter,  and  ran  unto 
the  sepulchre;  and  stooping  down,  he 
beheld  the  linen  clothes  laid  by  them- 
selves, and  departed,  wondering  in 
himself  at  that  which  was  come  to 
pass. 

13  And,  behold,  two  of  them  went 
that  same  day  to  a  village  called  Em- 
maus,  which  was  from  Jerusalem  about 
threescore  furlongs. 

14  And  they  talked  together  of  all 
these  things  which  had  happened. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while 
they  communed  together  and  reasoned, 
Jesus  himself  drew  near,  and  went

feared  the  Lord,  and  that  thought  up-

that  ye  have  one  to  another,  as  ye 
walk,  and  are  sad? 

18  And  one  of  them,  whose  name 
was  Cleopas,  answering  said  unto  him. 
Art  thou  only  a  stranger  in  Jerusalem, 
and  hast  not  known  the  things  which 
are  come  to  pass  there  in  these  days? 

19  And  he  said  unto  them.  What 
things?  And  they  said  unto  him,  Con- 
cerning Jesus  of  Nazareth,  which  was 
ma  prophet  mighty  in  deed  and  word 
before  God  and  all  the  people: 

20  And  how  the  chief  priests  and 
our  rulers  delivered  him  to  be  con-

our  company  made  us  astonished, 
which  were  early  at  the  sepulchre; 

23  And  when  they  found  not  his 
body,  they  came,  saying,  that  they 
had  also  seen  a  vision  of  angels,  which 
said  that  he  was  alive.

with  us  went  to  the  sepulchre,  and 
found  it  even  so  as  the  women  had 
said:  but  him  they  saw  not.

Lord:  O  my  strength,  haste  thee  to 
help  me. 

20  Deliver  my  soul  from  the  sword; 
my  darling  from  the  power  of  the 
dog. 

21  Save  me  from  the  lion's  mouth: 
for  thou  hast  heard  me  from  the 
horns  of  the  unicorns. 

22  I  will  declare  thy  name  unto 
my  brethren:  in  the  midst  of  the  con- 
gregation will  I  praise  thee.

him;  all  ye  the  seed  of  Jacob,  glorify 
him;  and  fear  him,  all  ye  the  seed  of 
Israel.

vows  before  them  that  fear  him.

remember  and  turn  unto  the  Lord: 
and  all  the  kindred  of  the  nations 
shall   worship  before  thee. 

28  For  the  kingdom  is  the  Lord's: 
and  he  is  the  governor  among  the  na-

29  All  they  that  be  fat  upon  earth 
shall  eat  and  worship:  all  they  that 
go  down  to  the  dust  shall  bow  before 
him:  and  none  can  keep  alive  his 
own  soul. 

30  A  seed  shall  serve  him;  it  shall 
be  accounted  to  the  Lord  for  a  gene- 
ration. 

31  They  shall  come,  and  declare  his 
righteousness  unto  a  people  that  shall 
be  born,  that  he  hath  done  this. 

PSALM  cxxxii:ll  The  Lord  hath 
sworn  in  truth  unto  David;  he  will 
not  turn  from  it;  Of  the  fruit  of  thy 
body  [who  is  Jesus]  will  1  set  upon 
thy  throne. 

ISAIAH  vii:14  Therefore  the  Lord 
himself  shall  give  you  a  sign;  Behold, 
a  virgin  shall  conceive,  and  bare  a 
son,  and  shall  call  his  name  Imman- 
uel   [God  with  us]. 

ISAIAH  ix:6  For  unto  us  a  child 
[Jesus]  is  born:  unto  us  a  son  is  giv-

his  shoulder:  and  his  name  shall  be 
called  Wonderful,  Counsellor,  The 
mighty  God,  The  everlasting  Father, 
The  Prince  of  Peace. 

ISAIAH  xl:10  Behold,  the  Lord 
God  [in  the  person  of  Jesus]  will 
come  with  strong  hand,  and  his  arm 
shall  rule  for  him:  behold,  his  reward 
is  with  him,  and  his  work  before  him.

our  report?  and  to  whom  is  the  arm 
of  the  Lord  revealed? 

2  For  he  [Jesus]  shall  grow  up  be- 
fore him  as  a  tender  plant,  and  as  a 
root  out  of  a  dry  ground:  he  hath  no 
form  nor  comliness;  and  when  we 
shall  see  him,  there  is  no  beauty  that 
we  should  desire  him. 

3  He  is  despised  and  rejected  of 
men;  a  man  of  sorrows,  and  ac- 
quainted with  grief:  and  we  hid  as  it 
were  our  faces  from  him;  he  was  de- 
spised,  and  we  esteemed  him  not. 

4  Surely  he  hath  borne  our  griefs, 
and  carried  our  sorrows:  yet  we  did 
esteem  him  stricken,  smitten  of  God, 
and  afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  wounded  for  our 
transgressions,  he  was  bruised  for  our 
iniquities:  the  chastisement  of  our 
peace  was  upon  him;  and  with  his 
stripes  we  are  healed. 

6  All  we  like  sheep  have  gone 
astray;  we  have  turned  every  one  to 
his  own  way;  and  the  Lord  hath  laid 
on  him  the  iniquity  of  us  all. 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was 
afflicted,  yet  he  opened  not  his  mouth: 
he  is  brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaugh- 
ter, and  as  a  sheep  before  her  shear- 
ers is  dumb,  so  he  openeth  not  his 
mouth. 

8  He  was  taken  from  prison  and 
from  judgment:  and  who  shall  declare 
his  generation?  for  he  was  cut  off  out 
of  the  land  of  the  living:  for  the 
transgression  of  my  people  was  he 
stricken. 

9  And  he  made  his  grave  with  the 
wicked,  and  with  the  rich  in  his  death; 
because  he  had  done  no  violence,  nei- 
ther was  any  deceit  in  his  mouth. 

10  Yet  it  pleased  the  Lord  to  bruise 
him;  he  hath  put  him  to  grief:  when 
thou  Shalt  make  his  soul  an  offering 
for  sin,  he  shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall 
prolong  his  days,  and  the  pleasure  of 
the  Lord  shall  prosper  in  his  hand. 

11  He  shall  see  of  the  travail  of 
his  soul,  and  shall  be  satisfied:  by  his 
knowledge  shall  my  righteous  servant 
justify  many;  for  he  shall  bear  their 
iniquities. 

12  Therefore  will  I  divide  him  a 
portion  with  the  great,  and  he  shall 
divide  the  spoil  with  the  strong;  be- 
cause he  hath  poured  out  his  soul  un- 
to death:  and  he  was  numbered  with 
the  transgressors;  and  he  bare  the  sin

32  And  they  said  one  to  another, 
Did  not  our  hearts  burn  within  us, 
while  he  tallied  with  us  by  the  way, 
and  while  he  opened  to  us  the  Scrip- 
tures? 

33  And  they  rose  up  the  same  hour, 
and  returned  to  Jerusalem,  and  found 
the  eleven  gathered  together,  and 
them  that  were  with  them, 

34  Saying,  The  Lord  is  risen  indeed, 
and  hath  appeared  to  Simon. 

35  And  they  told  what  things  were 
done  in  the  way,  and  how  he  was 
known  of  them  in  breaking  of  bread. 

36  And  as  they  thus  spake,  Jesus 
himself  stood  in  the  midst  of  them, 
and  saith  unto  them,  Peace  be  unto 
you. 

37  But  they  were  terrified  and  af- 
frighted, and  supposed  that  they  had 
seen  a  spirit. 

38  And  he  said  unto  them.  Why  are 
ye  troubled?  and  why  do  thoughts 
arise  in  your  hearts? 

39  Behold  my  hands  and  my  feet, 
that  it  is  I  myself:  handle  me,  and  see;

acquainted  with  grief:  and  we  hid  as 
it  were  our  faces  from  him;  he  was 
despised,  and  we  esteemed  him  not. 

4  Surely  he  hath  borne  our  griefs, 
and  carried  our  sorrows:  yet  we  did 
esteem  him  stricken,  smitten  of  God, 
and  afflicted. 

5  But  he  was  wounded  for  our 
transgressions,  he  was  bruised  for  our 
iniquities:  the  chastisement  of  our

he  shewed  them  his  hands  and  his  feet. 

41  And  while  they  yet  believed  not 
qfor  joy,  and  wondered,  he  said  unto 
them.  Have  ye  here  any  meat? 

42  And  they  gave  him  a  piece  of  a 
broiled  fish,  and  of  a  honeycomb. 

43  And  he  took  it,  and  did  eat  be- 
fore them.

declared  him. 

19  And  this  is  the  record  of  John, 
when  the  Jews  sent  priests  and  Le- 
vites  from  Jerusalem  to  ask  him,  Who 
art  thou? 

20  And  he  confessed,  and  denied 
not;  but  confessed,  I  am  not  the  Christ. 

21  And  they  asked  him,  What  then? 
Art  thou  nElijah?  And  he  said,  I  am 
not.  Art  thou  that  oProphet?  And  he 
answered.  No. 

22  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Who

coming  unto  him,  and  saitli,  Behohl, 
sthe  Lamb  of  God,  twhich  taUeth  away 
the  sin  of  the  world! 

30  This  is  he  of  whom  I  said.  After 
me  cometh  a  man  which  is  preferred 
before  me;    for  he  was  before   me. 

31  And  I  knew  him  not:  but  "that 
he  should  be  made  manifest  to  Israel, 
therefore  am  I  come  baptizing  with 
water. 

32  And  John  bare  record,  saying. 
I  saw  the  Spirit  descending  from  heav- 
en like  a  dove,  and  it  abode  upon  him. 

33  And  I  knew  him  not:  but  he  that 
sent  me  to  baptize  with  water,  the 
same  said  unto  me.  Upon  whom  thou 
Shalt  see  the  Spirit  descending,  and  re- 
maining on  him,  the  same  is  he  which 
baptizeth  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

34  And  I  saw,  and  bare  record  that 
this  is  the  Son  of  God. 

35  Again  the  next  day  after,  John 
stood,  and  two  of  his  disciples; 

36  And  looking  upon  Jesus  as  he 
walked,  he  saith,  Behold  vthe  Lamb 
of  God! 

37  And  the  two  disciples  heard  him 
speak,  and  they  followed  Jesus.

cording to  the  house  of  their  fathers,

What  seek  ye?  They  said  unto  him. 
Rabbi,  (which  is  to  say,  being  inter- 
I)reted,  Master,)   where  dwellest  thou? 

39  He  saith  unto  them,  Come  and 
see.  They  came  and  saw  where  he 
dwelt,  and  abode  with  him  that  day: 
for  it  was  about  the  tenth  hour. 

40  One  of  the  two  which  heard 
John  speak,  and  followed  him,  was 
Andrew,  Simon  Peter's  brother. 

41  He  first  findeth  his  own  brother 
Simon,  and  saith  unto  him.  We  have 
found  wthe  Messiah,  which  is,  being 
interpreted,  the  Christ. 

42  And  he  brought  him  to  Jesus. 
And  when  Jesus  beheld  him,  he  said,

CHAPTER  II. 

Christ  turned  water  into  wine.  12  Jesus  went 
td  Capernaum,  and  returned  to  the  passuver.  IW 
Jesus  drove  the  traders  out  of  the  temple.  14 
Jesus  was  ask  for  a  sign;  he  referred  to  his 
death  and  resurrection. 

1  And  the  third  day  there  was  a 
marriage  in  Cana  of  Galilee;  and  the 
mother  of  Jesus  was  there: 

2  And  both  Jesus  was  called,  and 
his  disciples,  to  the  marriage. 

3  And  when  they  wanted  wine,  the 
mother  of  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  They 
have  no  'wine. 

4  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Woman, 
what  have  I  to  do  with  thee?  mine 
hour  is  not  yet  come. 

GENESIS  xxviii:12  aAnd  he  [Ja- 
cob] dreamed,  and  behold  a  ladder  set 
up  on  the  earth,  and  the  top  of  it 
reached  to  heaven:  and  behold  the  an- 
gels of  God  ascending  and  descending 

♦  In  the  Hebrew  Bible  there  are  eleven  words 
translated  wine.  We  call  attention  to  the  four 
rrincipal  words: 

1.  "Ya.vin"  occurs  140  times.  It  simply  means 
Rrape  juice.  When  fermented  it  intoxicates, 
and  is  prohibited;  when  unfermented  its  use  as 
a  beverajre  is  permitted.  It  is  often  kept  from 
fermentation  by  boilintr. 

2.  "Shakar"  occurs  42  times.  It  produces  intox- 
ication, and  its  use  is  severely  condemned.  This 
word  is  also  translated  strong  wine,  stronj^ 
drink  and  drunken. 

3.  "Chamar"  occurs  seven  times  in  the  Hebrew 
Bible.  It  is  wine  boiled  into  a  syrup,  so  that  it 
could  not  ferment.  It  is  favorably  mentioned, 
and  was  the  wine  used  as  a  beverage  by  the 
Jews. 

4.  "Tiyrosh"  occurs  38  times  in  the  Hebrew 
Bible.  It  is  new,  unfermented  wine,  and  is  uni- 
formly mentioned  with  favor  as  a  beveraue. 

Neither  the  Greek  nor  English  have  any  word 
for  "chamar"  or  "tiyrosh."  Where  these  words 
occur  in  the  Hebrew,  they  are  rendered  "oinos" 
in  the  Seinitagint,  which  is  the  Greek  word  for 
wine:  in  the  English  they  are  rendered  wine. 
But  the  different  kinds  of  wine  were  evidently 
known  in  the  New  Testament  times:  and  we 
judge' of  their  character  by  the  approval  as  a 
beverage  or  condemnation.  Hence  we  conclude 
that  no  alcoholic  wine  was  used  at  the  marriage 
in  Cana  of  Galilee. 


5  His  mother  saith  unto  the  serv- 
ants, Whatsoever  he  saith  unto  you, 
do  it. 

6  And  there  were  set  there  six  wa- 
terpots  of  stone,  after  the  manner  of 
the  purifying  of  the  Jews,  containing 
two  or  three  firkins  apiece. 

7  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Fill  the 
waterpots  with  water.  And  they  filled 
them  up  to  the  brim. 

8  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Draw  out 
now,  and  bear  unto  the  governor  of  the 
feast.      And  they  bare  it. 

9  When  the  ruler  of  the  feast  had 
tasted  the  water  that  was  made  wine, 
and  knew  not  whence  it  was,  (but  the 
servants  which  drew  the  water  knew,) 
the  governor  of  the  feast  called  the 
bridegroom, 

10  And  saith  unto  him,  Every  man 
at  the  beginning  doth  set  forth  good 
wine;  band  when  men  have  *well 
drunk,  then  that  which  is  worse:  but 
thou  hast  kept  the  good  wine  until 
now.

DANIEL  vii:13  I  saw  in  the  night 
visions,  and,  behold,  one.  like  the  Son 
of  man  came  with  the  clouds  of  heav- 
en, and  came  to  the  Ancient  of  days, 
and  they  brought  him  near  before 
him. 

14  And  there  was  given  him  domin- 
ion, and  glory,  and  a  kingdom,  th:it 
all  people,  nations,  and  languages, 
should  serve  him:  his  dominion  is  an 
everlasting  dominion,  which  shall  not 
pass  away,  and  his  kingdom  that  which 
shall  not  be  destroyed.

will  give  you  the  rain  of  your  land  in 


*The  words  "well  drunk"  have  no  application 
to  the  company  in  Cana  of  Galilee.  There  is 
nothingrecorded  to  indicate  that  they  had  al- 
coholic wine.  The  wine  that  Christ  made  from 
water  had  no  time  to  ferment,  and  the  Old  and 
New  Testaments  prohibit  the  use  of  alcoholic 
wine  as  a  beverage.  We  do  not  believe  Christ 
violated  a  moral  principle  of  the  Bible.  If  he 
made  wine  which  intoxicated  the  people  he 
was  guilty  of  a  crime  upon  which  God's  prophet 
pronounced  a  "woe."  But  the  wine  called  "cha- 
mar" in  Hebrew  was  used  by  the  Jews,  as  was 
also  the  wine  they  called  "tiyrosh."  Neither  of 
these  contained  alcohol,  and  are  favorably  men- 
tioned as  a  beverage.

Jesus  at  the  Passover. 


ST.  JOHN  n. 


Hi"  Knew  what  was  in  Man. 


11  This  beginning  of  miracles  did 
Jesus  In  Cana  of  Galilee,  and  mani- 
fested forth  this  glory;  and  his  disci- 
ples believed  on  him. 

12  After  this  he  went  down  to  Ca- 
pernaum, he,  and*  his  mother,  and  his 
brethren,  and  his  disciples;  and  they 
continued  there  not  many  days. 

13  And  the  d Jews'  passover  was  at 
hand,  and  Jesus  went  up  to  Jerusalem, 

14  And  found  in  the  temple  those 
that  sold  oxen  and  sheep  and  doves, 
and  the  changers  of  money  sitting: 

15  And  when  he  had  made  a  scourge 
of  small  cords,  he  drove  them  all  out 
of  the  temple,  and  the  sheep,  and  the 
oxen;  and  poured  out  the  changers' 
money,  and  overthrew  the  tables; 

16  And  said  unto  them  that  sold 
doves,  Take  these  things  hence;  make 
not  my  Father's  house  a  house  of  mer- 
chandise. 

17  And  his  disciples  remembered 
that  it  was  written,  eThe  zeal  of  thine 
house  hath  eaten  me  up. 

18  Then     answered     the     Jews  and 

22  Unto  a  hundred  talents  of  silver, 
and  to  a  hundred  measures  of  wheat, 
and  to  a  hundred  baths  of  wine,  [cha- 
mar]  and  to  a  hundred  baths  of  oil, 
and  salt  without  prescribing  how 
much. 

I.  CHRONICLES  xxix:ll  cThine,  0 
Lord,  is  the  greatness,  and  the  power, 
and  the  glory,  and  the  victory,  and  the 
majesty:  for  all  that  Is  in  the  heaven 
and  in  the  earth  is  thine;  thine  is  the 
kingdom,  O  Lord,  and  thou  art  exalted 
as  head  above  all.

in  the  Lord,  and  shalt  glory  in  the  Ho-

shall  be  unto  you  for  a  memorial;  and 
ye  shall  keep  it  a  feast  to  the  Lord 
throughout  your  generations:  ye  shall 
keep  it  a  feast  by  an  ordinance  for 
ever.

said  unto  him,  \Vhat  sign  shewest  thou 
unto  us,  seeing  that  thou  doest  these 
things? 

19  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Destroy  this  temple,  and  in  three 
days  I  will  raise  it  up. 

20  Then  said  the  Jews,  Forty  and 
six  years  was  this  temple  in  building, 
and  wilt  thou  rear  it  up  in  three  days? 

21  But  he  spake  of  the  temple  of 
his  body. 

22  When  therefore  he  was  risen 
from  the  dead,  his  disciples  remem- 
bered that  he  had  said  this  unto  them; 
and  they  believed  the  Scripture,  and. 
the  word  which  Jesus  had  said. 

23  Now  when  he  was  in  Jerusalem 
at  the  passover,  in  the  feast  day,  many 
believed  in  his  name,  when  they  saw 
the  miracles  which  he  did. 

24  But  Jesus  did  not  commit  him- 
self unto  them,  because  fhe  knew  all 
men. 

25  And  needed  not  that  any  should 
testify  of  man;  for  he  knew  what  was 
in  man.

over  unto  the  Lord  thy  God:  for  in  the 
month  of  Abib  the  Lord  thy  God

night. 

2  Thou  shalt  therefore  sacrifice  the 
passover  unto  the  Lord  thy  God,  of 
the  flock  and  the  herd,  in  the  place 
which  the  Lord  shall  choose  to  place 
his  name  there.

in  the  feast  of  tabernacles:  and  they 
shall  not  appear  before  the  Lord 
empty:

can  he  enter  the  second  time  into  his 
mother's  womb,  and  be  born?

say  unto  thee.  Except  a  man  be  born 
of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he  cannot 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God.

jthe  Son  of  man  be  lifted  up: 

15  That  whosoever  believeth  in  him 
should  not  perish,  but  have  otornal 
life. 

16  For  kGod  so  loved  the  world, 
that  he  gave  his  only  begotten  Son, 
that  whosoever  believeth  in  him  should 
not  perish,  but  have  everlasting  life. 

17  For  God  sent  not  his  Son  into 
the  world  to  condemn  the  world;  but 
that  the  world  through  him  might  be 
saved, 

18  He  that  believeth  on  him  is  not 
condemned:  but  he  that  believeth  not 
is  condemned  already,  because  he  hath 
not  believed  in  the  name  of  the  only 
begotten  Son  of  God. 

19  lAnd  this  is  the  condemnation, 
that  light  is  come  into  the  world,  and 
men  loved  darkness  rather  than  light, 
because  their  deeds  were  evil. 

that    he  take  away  the  serpents  from 
us.     And  Moses  prayed  for  the  people. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Make  thee  a  fiery  serpent,  and  set  it 
upon  a  pole:  and  it  shall  come  to  pass, 
that  every  one  that  is  bitten,  when  he 
looketh  upon  it,  shall  live. 

9  And  Moses  made  a  serpent  of 
brass,  and  put  it  upon  a  pole;  and  it 
came  to  pass,  that  if  a  serpent  had  bit- 
ten any  man,  when  he  beheld  the  ser- 
pent of  brass,  he  lived. 

ISAIAH  liii:7  JHe  [Christ]  is 
brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaughter. 

8  For  the  transgression  of  my  peo- 
ple was  he  stricken. 

ISAIAH  liii:10  kYet  it  pleased  the 
Lord  to  bruise  him  [Christ];  he  hath 
put  him  to  grief:  when  thou  shalt 
make  his  soul  an  offering  for  sin,  he 
shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall  prolong  his 
days,  and  the  pleasure  of  the  Lord 
shall  prosper  in  his  hand. 

ISAIAH  lxiii:7  I  will  mention  the 
lovingkindnesses  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
praises  of  the  Lord,  according  to  all 
that  the  Lord  hath  bestowed  on  us, 
and  the  great  goodness  toward  the 
house  of  Israel,  which  he  hath  be- 
stowed on  them  according  to  his  mer- 
cies, and  according  to  the  multitude  of 
his  lovingkindnesses. 


20  P"or  nievery  one  that  doeth  evil 
hateth  the  light,  neither  cometh  to  the 
light,  lest  his  deeds  should  be  re- 
I)roved. 

21  But  he  that  doeth  truth  cometh 
to  the  light,  that  his  deeds  may  be 
made  manifest,  that  they  are  wrought 
in  God. 

22  After  these  things  came  Jesus 
and  his  disciples  into  the  land  of  Ju- 
daea; and  there  he  tarried  with  them, 
and  baptized. 

23  And  John  also  was  baptizing  in 
Enon  near  to  nShalim,  because  there 
was  much  water  there:  and  they  came, 
and  were  baptized. 

24  For  John  was  not  yet  cast  into 
prison. 

25  Then  there  arose  a  question  be- 
tween some  of  John's  disciples  and  the 
Jews  about  purifying. 

26  And   they  came  unto  John,  and 

8  For  he  said.  Surely  they  are  my 
people,  children  that  will  not  lie:  so 
he  was  their  Savior. 

9  In  all  their  affliction  he  was  af- 
flicted, and  the  Angel  [Jesus]  of  his 
presence  saved  them:  in  his  love  and 
in  his  pity  he  redeemed  them;  and  he 
bare  them,  and  carried  them  all  the 
days  of  old. 

JEREMIAH  xxxi:3  The  Lord  hath 
appeared  of  old  unto  me,  saying.  Yea, 
I  have  loved  thee  with  an  everlasting 
love:  therefore  with  lovingkindness 
have  I  drawn  thee. 

ISAIAH  v:20  iWoe  unto  them  that 
call  evil  good,  and  good  evil;  that  put 
darkness  for  light,  and  light  for  dark- 
ness: that  put  bitter  for  sweet,  and 
sweet  for  bitter. 

JOB  xxiv:13  mThey  are  of  those 
that  rebel  against  the  light;  they  know 
not  the  ways  thereof,  nor  abide  in  the 
paths  thereof. 

I.  SAMUEL  ix:4  n[Saul]  passed 
through  mount  Ephraim,  and 
passed  through  the  land  of  Sha- 
lisha,  but  they  found  them  not: 
then  they  passed  through  the 
land  of  Shalim.  and  there  they 
were  not:  and  he  pass'^d  through  the 
land  of  the  Benjamites,  but  they  found 
them  not.

healed  a  nobleman's  son. 

1  When  therefore  the  Lord  knew 
how  the  Pharisees  had  heard  that  Je- 
sus made  and  baptized  more  disciples 
than  John, 

2  (Though  Jesus  himself  baptized 
not,  but  his  disciples,) 

3  He  left  Judrea,  and  departed 
again  into  Galilee. 

4  And  he  must  needs  go  through 
Samaria. 

5  Then  cometh  he  to  a  city  of  Sa- 
maria, which  is  called  Sychar,  near  to 
the  parcel  of  ground  tthat  Jacob  gave 
to  his  son  Joseph. 

6  Now  Jacob's  well  was  there.     Je- 
ll    Unto  whom  I  sware  in  my  wrath 

that    they   should   not  enter   into   my 
rest. 

GENESIS  xxxiii:18  tAnd  Jacob 
came  to  Shalini,  a  city  of  Shechem, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Canaan,  when 
he  came  from  Padan-aram;  and  pitched 
his  tent  before  the  city. 

19  And  he  bought  a  parcel  of  a 
field,  where  he  had  spread  his  tent. 
at  the  hand  of  the  children  of  Hamor, 
Shechem's  father,  for  a  hundred  pieces 
of  money. 

20  And  he  erected  there  an  altar, 
and  called  it  El-Elohe-Israel. 

GENESIS  xlviii:21  And  Israel  said 
unto  Joseph.  Behold,  I  die;  but  God 
shall  be  with  you,  and  bring  you 
again  unto  the  land  of  your  fathers. 

22  Moreover  I  have  given  to  thee 
one  portion  above  thy  brethren,  which 
I  took  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Amorite 
with  my  sword  and  with  my  bow. 

GENESIS  1:24  And  Joseph  said  un- 
to his  brethren,  I  die:  and  God  will 
surely  visit  you.  and  bring  you  out  of 
this  land  unto  the  land  which  he  sware 
to  Abraham,  to  Isaac,  and  to  Jacob. 

25  And  Joseph  took  an  oath  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  saying,  God  will 
surely  visit  you.  and  ye  shall  carry 
up  my  bones  from  hence. 

26  So  Joseph  died,  being  a  hundred 


sus  therefore,  being  wearied  with  his 
journey,  sat  thus  on  the  well:  and  it 
was  about   the  sixth  hour. 

7  There  cometh  a  woman  of  Sa- 
maria to  draw  water:  Jesus  saith  un- 
to her,  Give  me  to  drink. 

8  (For  his  disciples  were  gone 
away  unto  the  city  to  buy  meat.) 

9  Then  saith  the  woman  of  Samaria 
unto  him,  How  is  it  that  thou,  being 
a  Jew,  askest  drink  of  me,  which  am 
a  woman  of  Samaria?  for  uthe  Jews 
have  no  dealings  with  the  Samaritans. 

10  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
her.  If  thou  knewest  the  gift  of  God, 
and  who  it  is  that  saith  to  thee,  Give 
me  to  drink;  thou  wouldest  have  asked 
of  him,  and  he  would  have  given  thee 
vliving  water. 

11  The  woman  saith  unto  him,  Sir, 

and  ten  years  old:  and  they  embalmed 
him,  and  he  was  put  in  a  coffin  in 
Egypt. 

EXODUS  xiii:19  And  Moses  took 
the  bones  of  Joseph  with  him:  for  he 
had  straitly  sworn  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, saying,  God  will  surely  visit  you; 
and  ye  shall  carry  up  my  bones  away 
hence  with  you. 

JOSHUA  xxiv:32  And  the  bones  of 
Joseph,  which  the  children  of  Israel 
brought  up  out  of  Egypt,  buried  they 
in  Shechem,  in  a  parcel  of  ground 
which  Jacob  bought  of  the  sons  of 
Hamor  the  father  of  Shechem  for  a 
hundred  pieces  of  silver;  and  it  be- 
came the  inheritance  of  the  children 
of  Joseph. 

II.  KINGS  xvii:24  uAnd  the  king  of 
Assyria  brought  men  from  Babylon, 
and  from  Cuthah,  and  from  Ava.  and 
from  Hamath.  and  from  Sepharvaim, 
and  placed  them  in  the  cities  of  Sa- 
maria instead  of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael: and  they  possessed  Samaria,  and 
dwelt  in  the  cities  thereof.

drank  thereof  himself,  and  his  chil- 
dren, and  his  cattle?

14  But  whosoever  drinketh  of  the

dwelt  in  the  cities  thereof. 

25  And  so  it  was  at  the  beginning 
of  their  dwelling  there,  that  they 
feared  not  the  Lord:  therefore  the 
Lord  sent  lions  among  them,  which 
slew  some  of  them. 

29  Howbeit  every  nation  made  gods

and  to  finish  his  work.

40  So  when  the  Samaritans  were 
come  unto  him,  fthey  besought  him

he  abode  there  two  days.

of  Galilee,  whero  ho  made  the  water 
wiue.  And  there  was  a  certain  noljle- 
nian,  whose  son  was  sick  at  Caperna- 
um. 

47  When  he  heard  that  Jesus  was 
come  out  of  Judaea  into  Galilee,  he 
went  unto  him,  and  besought  him  that 
he  would  come  down,  and  heal  his 
son:   for  he  was  at  the  point  of  death. 

48  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him,  Ex- 
cept ye  see  signs  and  wonders,  ye  will 
not  believe. 

49  The  nobleman  saith  unto  him, 
Sir,  come  down  ere  my  child  die. 

50  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Go  thy 
way;  Jthy  son  liveth.  And  the  man 
believed  the  word  that  Jesus  had  spok- 
en unto  him,  and  he  went  his  way. 

51  And  as  he  was  now  going  down, 
his  servants  met  him,  and  told  him, 
saying.  Thy  son  liveth. 

52  Then  inquired  he  of  them  the 
hour  when  he  began  to  amend.  And 
they  said  unto  him.  Yesterday  at  the 
seventh  hour  kthe  fever  left  him. 

53  So  the  father  knew  that  it  was 
at  the  same  hour,  in  the  which  Jesus

Helhesda.  li>  The  Jews  persecute  Christ  for

himself  by  the  l«"ather.  by  John  and  by  his  works.

1  After  this  there  was  a  ifeast  of 
the  Jews;  and  Jesus  went  up  to  Jeru- 
salem. 

2  Now  there  is  at  Jerusalem  by  the 
Bheep  market  a  pool,  whcih  is  called 
in  the  Hebrew  tongue  Bethesda,  hav- 
ing five  porches. 

3  In  these  lay  a  great  multitude  of 
impotent  folk,  of  blind,  halt,  withered, 
waiting  for  the  moving  of  the  water. 

4  For  an  angel  went  down  at  a 
certain  season  into  the  pool,  and 
troubled  the  water:  whosoever  then 
first  after  the  troubling  of  the  water 
stepped  in  was  made  whole  of  what- 
soever disease  he  had. 

5  And     a     certain  man  was  there, 

en  these  are  my  feasts. 

3  Six  days  shall  work  be  done:  but 
the  seventh  day  is  the  sabbath  of  rest, 
a  holy  convocation;  ye  shall  do  no 
work  therein:  it  is  the  sabbath  of  the 
Lord  in  all  your  dwellings.

Jesus  Healed  an 


ST.  JOHN  V. 


Impotent  Maru 


which     had    an    infirmity    thirty   and 
eight  years. 

6  When  Jesus  saw  him  lie,  and 
knew  that  he  had  been  now  a  long 
time  in  that  case,  he  saith  unto  him, 
Wilt  thou  be  made  whole? 

7  The  impotent  man  answered  him, 
Sir,  I  have  no  man,  when  the  water 
is  troubled,  to  put  me  into  the  pool; 
but  while  I  am  coming,  another 
steppeth  down  before  me. 

8  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Rise,  take 
up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

9  And  immediately  the  man  was 
made  whole,  and  took  up  his  bed,  and 
walked:  and  fon  the  same  day  was 
the  sabbath. 

10  The  Jews  therefore  said  unto 
him  that  was  cured.  It  is  the  sabbath 
day:  git  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  carry 
thy  bed. 

11  He  answered  them.  He  that 
made  me  whole,  the  same  said  unto 
me.  Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

12  Then  asked  they  him.  What  man 
is  that  which  said  unto  thee.  Take  up 
thy  bed,  and  walk? 

DEUTERONOMY  v:12  fKeep  the 
sabbath  day  to  sanctify  it,  as  the  Lord 
thy  God  hath  commanded  thee. 

13  Six  days  thou  shalt  labour,  and 
do  all  thy  work: 

14  But  the  seventh  day  is  the  sab- 
bath of  the  Lord  thy  God:  in  it  thou 
shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy 
son,  nor  thy  daughter,  nor  thy  man- 
servant, nor  thy  maidservant,  nor 
thine  ox,  nor  thine  ass,  nor  any  of  thy 
cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within 
thy  gates;  that  thy  manservant  and 
thy  maidservant  may  rest  as  well  as 
thou. 

EXODUS  XX :  8  gRemember  the 
sabbath  day,  to  keep  it  holy. 

9  Six  days  shalt  thou  labour,  and

ant, nor  thy  maidservant,  nor  thy  cat-

13  And  he  that  was  healed  wist 
not  who  it  was:  for  Jesus  had  con- 
veyed himself  away,  a  multitude  be- 
ing in  that  place. 

14  Afterward  Jesus  flndeth  him  in 
the  temple,  and  said  unto  him.  Be- 
hold, thou  art  made  whole:  bsin  no 
more,  lest  a  worse  thing  come  unto 
thee. 

15  The  man  departed,  and  told  the 
Jews  that  it  was  Jesus,  which  had 
made  him  whole. 

16  And  therefore  did  the  Jews  per- 
secute Jesus,  and  sought  to  slay  him,, 
because  he  had  done  these  things  on 
the  sabbath  day. 

17  But  Jesus  answered  them.  My 
Father  worketh  hitherto,  and  I  work. 

18  Therefore  the  Jews  sought  the 
more  to  kill  him,  because  he  not  only 
had  broken  the  sabbath,  but  said  also 
that  God  was  his  Father,  making 
himself  equal  with  God. 

19  Then  answered  Jesus  and  said 
unto  them,  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you.  The  Son  can  do  nothing  of  him- 
self, but  what  he  seeth  the  Father  do: 

thy  gates: 

NEHEMIAH  xiii:19  And  it  came 
to  pass,  that  when  the  gates  of  Jeru- 
salem began  to  be  dark  before  the 
Babbath,  I  [Nehemiah]  commanded 
that  the  gates  should  be  shut,  and 
charged  that  they  should  not  be 
opened  till  after  the  sabbath:  and 
some  of  my  servants  set  I  at  the  gates, 
that  there  should  no  burden  be 
brought  in  on  the  sabbath  day. 

JEREMIAH  xvii:  21  Thus  saith  tho 
Lord:  Take  heed  to  yourselves,  and 
bear  no  burden  on  the  sabbath  day, 
nor  bring  it  in  by  the  gates  of  Jeru- 
salem. 

EXODUS  xv:26  hAnd  said,  If  thou 
wilt  diligently  hearken  to  the  voice  of

which  is  right  in  his  sight,  and  wilt 
give  ear  to  his  commandments,  and 
keep  all  his  statutes,  I  will  put  none 
of  these  diseases  upon  thee,  which  I 
have  brought  upon  the  Egyptains:  for

ment is  just;  because  I  seek  not  mine 
own  will,  but  the  will  of  the  Father 
which  hath  sent  me. 

31  If  I  bear  witness  of  myself,  my

that  of  John:  for  the  works  which  the 
Father  hath  given  me  to  finish,  the

me,  that  the  Father  hath  sent  me.

of  God  speaking  out  of  the  midst  of 
the  fire,  as  thou  hast  heard,  and  live?

hear  his  voice,  that  he  might  instruct

over  the  sea  of  Galilee,  which  is  the 
sea  of  Tiberias. 

2  And  a  great  multitude  followed 
him.  because  they  saw  his  miracles 
which  he  did  on  them  that  were  dis- 
eased. 

3  And  Jesus  went  up  into  a  moun-

4  And  rthe  passover,  a  feast  of  the 
Jews,  was  nigh.

down.  Now  there  was  much  grass  in 
the  place.  So  the  men  sat  down,  in 
number  about  five  thousand. 

11  And  Jesus  took  the  loaves;  and 
when  he  uhad  given  thanks,  he  dis- 
tributed to  the  disciples,  and  the  dis- 
ciples to  them  that  were  set  down; 
and  likewise  of  the  fishes  as  much  as 
they  would. 

12  When  they  were  filled,  he  said 
unto  his  disciples.  Gather  up  the  frag- 
ments that  remain,  that  nothing  be 
lost. 

13  Therefore  they  gathered  them 
together,  and  filled  twelve  baskets  with 
the  fragments  of  the  five  barley  loaves, 
which  remained  over  and  above  unto 
them  that  had  eaten. 

14  Then  those  men,  when  they  had 
seen  the  miracle  that  Jesus  did,  said. 
This  is  of  a  truth  vthat  Prophet  that 
should  come  into  the  world. 

15  When  Jesus  therefore  perceived 
that  they  would  come  and  take  him 
by  force,  to  make  him  a  wking,  he  de- 
parted again  into  a  mountain  himself 
alone. 

16  And  when  even  was  now  come, 
his  disciples  went  down  unto  the  sea. 

17  And  entered  into  a  ship,  and 
went  over  the  sea  toward  Capernaum. 
And  it  was  now  dark,  and  Jesus  was 
not  come  to  them. 

18  And  the  xsea  arose  by  reason  of 
a  great  wind  that  blew. 

thus  saith  the  Lord,  They  shall  eat, 
and  shall  leave  thereof. 

I.  SAMUEL  ix:13  uAs  soon  as  ye 
be  come  into  the  city,  ye  shall  straight- 
way find  him  [Samuel],  before  he 
go  up  to  the  high  place  to  eat:  for 
the  people  will  not  eat  until  he  come, 
because  he  doth  bless  the  sacrifice; 
and  afterwards  they  eat  that  be  bid- 
den. Now  therefore  get  you  up;  for 
about  this  time  ye  shall  find  him. 

DEUTERONOMY  xviii:18  vl  will 
raise  them  up  a  Prophet  [Christ]  from 
among  their  brethren,  like  unto  thee 
[Moses]  and  will  put  my  words  in  his 
mouth;  and  he  shall  speak  unto  them 


19  So  when  they  had  rowed  about 
five  and  twenty  or  thirty  furlongs, 
they  see  Jesus  walking  on  the  sea, 
and  drawing  nigh  unto  the  ship:  and 
they  were  afraid. 

20  But  he  saith  unto  them,  It  is 
I;   be  not  afraid. 

21  Then  they  willingly  received  him 
into  the  ship:  and  immediately  the 
ship  was  at  the  land  whither  they 
went. 

22  The  day  following,  when  the 
people,  which  stood  on  the  other  side 
of  the  sea,  saw  that  there  was  none 
other  boat  there,  save  that  one  where- 
into  his  disciples  were  entered,  and 
that  Jesus  went  not  with  his  disciples 
into  the  boat,  but  that  his  disciples 
were  gone  away  alone; 

23  Howbeit  there  came  other  boats 
from  Tiberias  nigh  unto  the  place 
where  they  did  eat  bread,  after  that 
the  Lord  had  given  thanks: 

24  When  the  people  therefore  saw 
that  Jesus  was  not  there,  neither  his 
disciples,  they  also  took  shipping, 
and  came  to  Capernaum,  seeking  for 
Jesus. 

25  And  when  they  had  found  him, 
on  the  other  side  of  the  sea,  they  said 
unto  him.  Rabbi,  when  camest  thou 
hither? 

26  Jesus  answered  them  and  said. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Ye  seek 
me,  not  because  ye  saw  the  miracles, 

all  that  I  shall  command  him.

Son  of  man  shall  give  untcw  you:  for 
him  hath   God   the  Father  sealed. 

28  Then  said  they  unto  him,  What 
shall  we  do,  that  we  might  work  the 
works  of  God? 

29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  This  is  the  work  of  God,  that  ye 
believe  on  him  whom  he  hath  sent. 

30.  They  said  therefore  unto  him, 
W^hat  sign  shewest  thou  then,  that  we 
may  see,  and  believe  thee?  what  dost 
thou    work  ? 

31  wOur  fathers  did  eat  manna  in 
the  desert;  as  it  is  written,  xHe  gave 
them  bread  from  heaven  to  eat. 

32  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Ver- 
ily, verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Moses  gave 
you  not  that  bread  from  heaven;  but 
my  Father  giveth  you  the  true  bread 
from   heaven. 

33  For  the  bread  of  God  is  he  which 
Cometh  down  from  heaven,  and  giveth 
life  unto  the  world. 

34  Then  said  they  unto  him,  Lord, 
evermore   give   us   this   bread.

the  bread  of  life:  he  that  cometh  to  me 

EXODUS  xvi:15  wAnd  when  the 
children  of  Israel  saw  it  [the  bread 
from  heaven],  they  said  one  to  anoth- 
er, It  is  manna:  for  they  wist  not  what 
it  was.  And  Moses  said  unto  them. 
This  is  the  bread  which  the  Lord  hath 
given  you  to  eat.

was  as  coriander  seed,  and  the  colour 
thereof  as  the  colour  of  bdellium.

eth  on  me  shall  never  thirst. 

3G  But  I  said  unto  you.  That  ye  al- 
so  have   seen   me,   and   believe    not. 

37  All  that  the  Father  giveth  me 
shall  come  to  me;  and  him  that  com- 
eth to  me  I  will  in  no  wise  cast  out. 

38  For  I  came  down  from  heaven, 
not  to  do  mine  own  will,  but  the  will 
of  him  that  sent  me. 

39  And  this  is  the  Father's  will 
which  hath  sent  me,  that  of  all  which 
he  hath  given  me  I  should  lose  noth- 
ing, but  should  yraise  it  up  again  at 
the  last  day. 

40  And  this  is  the  will  of  him  that 
sent  me,  that  every  one  which  seeth 
the  Son.  and  believeth  on  him,  may 
have  everlasting  life:  and  I  will  raise 
him  up  at  the  last  day. 

41  And  the  Jews  murmured  at  him, 
because  he  said,  I  am  the  bread  which 
came  down  from  heaven. 

42  And  they  said,  Is  not  this  Je- 
sus, the  son  of  Joseph,  whose  father 
and  mother  we  know?  how  is  it  then 
that  he  saith,  I  came  down  from

yourselves.

45  It  is  written  in  the  prophets, 
zAnd  they  shall  be  all  taught  of  God. 
Every  man  therefore  that  hath  heard, 
and  hath  learned  of  the  Father,  com-

48  I  am  the  bread  of  life. 

49  aYour  fathers  did  eat  manna  In 
the  wilderness,  and  are  dead.

dov/n  from  heaven,  that  a  man  may  eat 
thereof,  and  not  die. 

51  I  am  the  living  bread  which  came 
down  from  heaven:  if  any  man  eat  of

the  bread  that  I  v/ill  give  is  my  flesh, 
which  I  will  give  for  the  life  of  the 
world. 

52  The  Jews  therefore  strove  among 
themselves,  saying.  How  can  this  man 
give  us  his  flesh  to  eat? 

53  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Ver-

eat  the  flesh  of  the  Son  of  man,  and 
drink  his  blood,  ye  have  no  life  in  you.

no  more. 

MALACHI  iv:2  But  unto  you  that 
fear  my  name  shall  the  Sun  of  right- 
eousness [Christ]  arise  with  healing 
in  his  wings;  and  ye  shall  go  forth, 
and  grow  up  as  calves  of  the  stall. 


54  Whoso  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  blood,  hath  eternal  life; 
and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day. 

55  For  my  flesh  is  meat  indeed,  and 
my  blood  is  drink  indeed. 

56  He  that  eateth  my  flesh,  and 
drinketh  my  blood,  dwelleth  in  me, 
and  I  in  him. 

57  As  the  living  Father  hath  sent 
me,  and  I  live  by  the  Father;  so  he 
that  eateth  me,  even  he  shall  live  by 
me. 

58  This  is  that  bread  which  came 
down  from  heaven:  not  as  your  fath- 
ers did  eat  manna,  and  are  dead:  he 
that  eateth  of  this  bread  shall  live  for 
ever. 

59  These  things  said  he  in  the  syn- 
agogue, as  he  taught  in  Capernaum. 

60  Many  therefore  of  his  disciples, 
when  they  had  heard  this,  said.  This 
is  a  hard  saying;  who  can  hear  it? 

61  When  Jesus  knew  in  himself  that 
his  disciples  murmured  at  it,  he  said 
unto  them,  Doth  this  offend  you? 

62  What  and  if  ye  shall  see  the  Son 
of  man  ascend  up  where  he  was  be- 
fore? 

63  It  is  the  Spirit  that  quickeneth; 
the  flesh  proflteth  nothing:  the  words 
that  I  speak  unto  you,  they  bare  spir- 
it, and  they  are  life. 

64  But  there  are  some  of  you  that 

NUMBERS  xxvi:63  aThese  are  they 
that  were  numbered  by  Moses  and 
Eleazar  the  priest,  who  numbered  the 
children  of  Israel  in  the  plains  of 
Moab   by   Jordan   near  Jericho. 

64  But  among  these  there  was  not 
a  man  of  them  whom  Moses  and  Aaron 
the  priest  numbered,  when  they  num- 
bered the  children  of  Israel  in  the  wil- 
derness of  Sinai. 

65  For  the  Lord  had  said  of  them. 
They  shall  surely  die  in  the  wilder- 
ness. And  there  was  not  left  a  man 
of  them,  save  Caleb  the  son  of  Jep- 
hunneh,   and  Joshua  the  son   of  Nun. 

PSALM  cxix:50  bThis  is  my  com-

believe  not.  For  Jesus  knew  from  the 
beginning  who  they  were  that  believed 
not,  and  awho  should  betray  him. 

65  And  he  said,  Therefore  said  I 
unto  you,  that  no  man  can  come  unto 
me,  except  it  were  given  unto  him  of 
my  Father. 

66  From  that  time  many  of  his  dis- 
ciples went  back,  and  walked  no  more 
with  him. 

67  Then  said  Jesus  unto  the  twelve. 
Will  ye  also  go  away? 

68  Then  Simon  Peter  answered  him, 
Lord,  to  whom  shall  we  go?  thou  hast 
the  words  of  eternal  life. 

69  And  we  believe  and  are  sure 
that  thou  art  that  Christ,  bthe  Son  of 
the  living  God. 

70  Jesus  answered  them.  Have  not 
I  chosen  you  twelve,  and  one  of  you 
is  a  devil? 

71  He  spake  of  Judas  Iscariot  the 
son  of  Simon:  for  he  it  was  that 
should  betray  him,  being  one  of  the 
twelve. 

CHAPTER  VIL 

Jesus  attended  the  feast  of  tabernacles.  14 
He  tautrht  in  the  temple.  32  The  Pharisees  and 
chief  priests  sent  otKcers  to  take  Jesus.  4.5 
Thoy  returned  without  Christ  saying.  Never 
man  spake  like  this  man. 

1  After  these  things,  Jesus  walked 
in  Galilee:  for  he  would  not  walk  in 
Judaja,  because  the  Jews  sought  to  kill 
him. 

2  cNow  the  Jews'  feast  of  taberna- 
cles was  at  hand. 

3  His  brethren  therefore  said  unto 
him.  Depart  hence,  and  go  into  Judaea, 
that    thy    disciples    also    may  see  the 

PSALM  cix:8  aLet  his  [Judas'] 
days  be  few;  and  let  another  take  his 
office. 

9  Let  his  children  be  fatherless,  and 
his  wife  a  widow. 

PSALM  ii:7  bThe  Lord  hath  said 
unto  me  [Christ],  Thou  art  my  Son. 

LEVITICUS  xxiii:34  cSpeak  unto 
the  children  of  Israel,  saying.  The  fif- 
teenth day  ot  this  seventh  month  shall 


works  that  thou  doest. 

4  For  there  is  no  man  that  doeth 
any  thing  in  secret,  and  he  himself 
seeketh  to  be  known  openly.  If  thou 
do  these  things,  shew  thyself  to  the 
world. 

5  For  neither  did  his  brethren  be- 
lieve in  him. 

6  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them.  My 
time  is  not  yet  come:  but  your  time 
is  always  ready. 

7  The  world  cannot  hate  you;  but 
me  it  hateth,  because  I  testify  of  it, 
that  the  works  thereof  are  evil. 

8  Go  ye  up  unto  this  feast:  I  go 
not  up  yet  unto  this  feast;  for  my 
time  is  not  yet  full  come. 

9  When  lie  had  said  these  words 
unto  them,  he  abode  still  in  Galilee. 

10  But  when  his  brethren  were 
gone  up,  then  went  ho  also  up  unto 
the  feast,  not  openly,  but  as  it  were  In 
secret. 

11  Then  the  Jews  sought  him  at 
the  feast,  and  said,  Where  is  he? 

12  And  there  was  much  murmuring 
among  the  people  concerning  him:  for 
some  said.  He  is  a  good  man:  others 
said.  Nay;  but  he  deceiveth  the  peo- 
ple. 

13  Howbeit  no  man  spake  openly  of 
him  for  fear  of  the  Jews. 

14  Now  about  the  midst  of  the 
feast  Jesus  went  up  into  the  temple, 
and  taught. 

15  And  the  Jews  marvelled,  saying, 
How  knoweth  this  man  letters,  having 
never  learned? 

16  Jesus   answered   them,  and  said, 

be  the  feast  of  tabernacles  for  seven 
days  unto  the  Lord. 

LEVITICUS  xxiii:36  Seven  days 
ye  shall  offer  an  offering  made  by  fire 
unto  the  Lord;  on  the  eighth  day  shall 
be  a  holy  convocation  unto  you,  and 
ye  shall  offer  an  offering  made  by  fire 
unto  the  Lord:  it  is  a  solemn  assem- 
bly: and  ye  shall  do  no  servile  work 
therein.

My  doctrine  is  not  mine,  but  his  that 
sent  me.

shall  know  of  the  doctrine,  whether  it 
be  of  God,  or  whether  I  speak  of  my- 
self. 

18  He  that  speaketh  of  himself 
seeketh  his  own  glory:  but  he  that 
seeketh  his  glory  that  sent  him,  the 
same  is  true,  and  no  unrighteousness 
is  in  him. 

19  eDid  not  Moses  give  you  the  law. 
and  yet  none  of  you  keepeth  the  law? 
Why  go  ye  about  to  kill  me? 

20  The  people  answered  and  said. 
Thou  hast  a  devil:  who  goeth  about  to 
kill  thee? 

21  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  I  have  done  one  work,  and  ye 
all  marvel. 

22  fMoses  therefore  gave  unto  you 
circumcision;  (not  because  it  is  of 
Moses,  but  of  sthe  fathers)  and  ye  on 
the  sabbath  day  circumcise  a  man. 

23  If  a  man  on  the  sabbath  day  re- 
ceive circumcision,  that  the  law  of 
Moses  should  not  be  broken;  are  ye 
angry  at  me,  because  I  have  made  a 

HOSEA  vi:3  dThen  shall  we  know,

his  going  forth  is  prepared  as  the 
morning;  and  he  shall  come  unto  us 
as  the  rain,  as  the  latter  and  the  form- 
er rain  unto  the  earth. 

EXODUS  xxiv:3  eAnd  Moses  came 
and  told  the  people  all  the  words  of 
the  Lord,  and  all  the  judgments:  and 
all  the  people  answered  with  one  voice, 
and  said.  All  the  words  which  the  Lord 
hath  said  will  we  do. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxxiii:4  Moses 
commanded  us  a  law,  even  the  inheri- 
tance of  the  congregation  of  Jacob. 

LEVITICUS  xii:3  fAnd  in  the 
ejghth  day  the  flesh  of  his  foreskin 
shall  be  circumcised. 

GENESIS  xvii:10  gThis  is  my 
covenant,  which  ye  [Abraham]  shall 
keep,  between  me  and  you  and  thy 
seed  after  thee;  Every  man  child 
among  you  shall  be  circumcised. 

11    And     ye     shall     circumcise  the 


man  every  whit  whole  on  the  sabbath 
day? 

24  hJudge  not  according  to  the  ap- 
pearance, but  judge  righteous  judg- 
ment. 

25  Then  said  some  of  them  of  Jeru- 
salem, Is  not  this  he,  whom  they  seek 
to  kill? 

26  But,  lo,  he  speaketh  boldly,  and 
they  say  nothing  unto  him.  Do  the 
rulers  know  indeed  that  this  is  the 
very  Christ? 

27  Howbeit  we  know  this  man 
whence  he  is:  but  when  Christ  cometh, 
no  man  knoweth  whence  he  is. 

28  Then  cried  Jesus  in  the  temple 
as  he  taught,  saying,  Ye  both  know 
me,  and  ye  know  whence  I  am:  and  I 
am  not  come  of  myself,  but  he  that 
sent  me  is  true,  whom  ye  know  not. 

29  But  I  know  him;  for  I  am  from 
him,  and  he  hath  sent  me. 

30  Then  they  sought  to  take  him: 
but  no  man  laid  hands  on  him,  because 
his  hour  was  not  yet  come. 

31  And  many  of  the  people  believed 
on  him,  and  said.  When  Christ  cometh, 
iwill  he  do  more  miracles  than  these 

flesh  of  your  foreskin;  and  it  shall  be 
a  token  of  the  covenant  betwixt  me 
and  you. 

DEUTERONOMY  i:16  hAnd  I  [Mo- 
ses] charged  your  judges  at  that  time, 
saying.  Hear  the  causes  between  your 
brethren,  and  judge  righteously  be- 
tween every  man  and  his  brother,  and 
the  stranger  that  is  with  him. 

17  Ye  shall  not  respect  persons  in 
judgment;  but  ye  shall  hear  the  small 
as  well  as  the  great;  ye  shall  not  be 
afraid  of  the  face  of  man;  for  the  judg- 
ment is  God's:  and  the  cause  that  is 
too  hard  for  you,  bring  it  unto  me,  and 
I  will  hear  it.

which  this  man  hath  done? 

32  The  Pharisees  heard  that  the 
people  murmured  such  things  concern- 
ing him;  and  the  Pharisees  and  the 
chief  priests  sent  officers  to  take  him. 

33  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  Yet 
a  little  while  am  I  with  you,  and  then 
I  go  unto  him  that  sent  me. 

34  JYe  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not 
find  me:  and  where  I  am,  thither  ye 
cannot  come. 

35  Then  said  the  Jews  among  them- 
selves. Whither  will  he  go,  that  we 
shall  not  find  him?  will  he  go  unto 
kthe  dispersed  among  the  Gentiles,  and 
teach  the  Gentiles? 

36  What  manner  of  saying  is  this 
that  he  said.  Ye  shall  seek  me,  and 
shall  not  find  me:  and  where  I  am, 
thither  ye  cannot  come?

of  the  feast,  Jesus  stood  and  cried,  say- 
ing, mif  any  man  thirst,  let  him  come 
unto  me,  and  drink. 

38  He  that  believeth  on  me,  as  the

shall  flow  rivers  of  living  water.

it, which  they  that  believe  on  him 
should  receive:  for  the  Holy  Ghost  was 
not  yet  given;  because  that  Jesus  was 
not  yet  glorifled.) 

40  Many  of  the  people  therefore, 
when  they  heard  this  saying,  said.  Of

Jesus  is  the  light  of  the  world.  33  The  Jews 
claimed  to  be  free  from  sin  because  they  were 
the  seed  of  Abraham. 

1  Jesus  went  unto  the  mount  of 
Olives. 

2  And  early  in  the  morning  he 
came  again  into  the  temple,  and  all 
the  people  came  unto  him;  and  he  sat 
down,  and  taught  them. 

3  And  the  scribes  and  Pharisees 
brought  unto  him  a  woman  taken  In 
adultery;  and  when  they  had  set  her 
in  the  midst, 

4  They  say  unto  him.  Master,  this 
woman  was  taken  in  adultery,  in  the 
very  act. 

5  aNow  Moses  in  the  law  com- 
manded us,  that  such  should  be  stoned: 
but  what  sayest  thou?

tween plea  and  plea,  and  between 
stroke  and  stroke,  being  matters  of

ilee of  the  nations.

ST.  JOHN  vni. 


The  Jews  Knew  not  Jesus. 


6  This  they  said,  tempting  him, 
that  they  might  have  to  accuse  him. 
But  Jesus  stooped  down,  and  with  his 
finger  wrote  on  the  ground,  as  though 
he  heard  them  not. 

7  So  when  they  continued  asking 
him,  he  lifted  up  himself,  and  said  un- 
to them,  bHe  that  is  without  sin  among 
you,  let  him  first  cast  a  stone  at  her. 

8  And  again  he  stooped  down,  and 
wrote  on  the  ground. 

9  And  they  which  heard  it,  cbeing 
convicted  by  their  own  conscience, 
went  out  one  by  one,  beginning  at  the 
eldest,  even  unto  the  last:  and  Jesus 
was  left  alone,  and  the  woman  stand- 
ing in  the  midst. 

10  When  Jesus  had  lifted  up  him- 
self, and  saw  none  but  the  woman,  he 
said  unto  her.  Woman,  where  are  those- 
thine  accusers?  hath  no  man  con- 
demned thee? 

11  She  said,  No  man,  Lord.  And 
Jesus  said  unto  her.  Neither  do  I  con- 
demn thee:   go,  and  sin  no  more. 

12  Then  spake  Jesus  again  unto 
them,   saying,   dl  am  the  light  of  the 

that  committeth  adultery  with  another 
man's  wife,  even  he  that  committeth 
adultery  with  his  neighbour's  wife,  the 
adulterer  and  the  adulteress  shall  sure- 
ly be  put  to  death. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxii:22  If  a  man 
be  found  lying  with  a  woman  married 
to  a  husband,  then  they  shall  both  of 
them  die,  both  the  man  that  lay  with 
the  woman,  and  the  woman:  so  shalt 
thou  put  away  evil  from  Israel. 

DET^TERONOMY        xvii:7  bThe 

hands  of  the  witnesses  shall  be  first 
upon  him  to  put  him  to  death,  and  af- 
terward the  hands  of  all  the  people. 
So  thou  shalt  put  the  evil  away  from 
among  you. 

I.  SAMUEL  xvi:7  cBut  the  Lord 
said  unto  Samuel,  Look  not  on  his 
countenance,  nor  on  the  height  of  his 
stature;  because  I  have  refused  him: 
for  the  Lord  seeth  not  as  man  seeth; 
for  man  looketh  on  the  outward  ap- 
pearance, but  the  Lord  looketh  on  the 
heart. 


world:  ho  that  foUoweth  me  shall  not 
walk  in  darkness,  but  shall  have  the 
light  of  life. 

13  The  Pharisees  therefore  said  un- 
to him,  Thou  bearest  record  of  thyself; 
thy  record  is  not  true. 

14  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Though  I  bear  record  of  myself, 
yet  my  record  is  true:  for  I 
know  whence  I  came,  and  whither  I 
go;  but  ye  cannot  tell  whence  I  come, 
and  whither  I  go. 

15  Ye  judge  after  the  flesh;  I  judge 
no  man. 

16  And  yet  if  I  judge,  my  judgment 
is  true:  for  I  am  not  alone,  but  I  and 
the  Father  that  sent  me. 

17  eit  is  also  written  in  your  law, 
that  the  testimony  of  two  men  is  true. 

18  I  am  one  that  bare  witness  of 
myself,  and  the  Father  that  sent  me 
beareth  witness  of  me. 

19  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Where 
is  thy  Father?  Jesus  answered.  Ye 
neither  know  me  nor  fmy  Father:  if 
ye  had  known  me,  ye  should  have 
known  my  Father  also. 

PSALM  XXVII  :1  dThe  Lord  is  my 
light  and  my  salvation;  whom  shall  I 
fear?  the  Lord  is  the  strength  of  my 
life;  of  whom  shall  I  be  afraid? 

DEUTERONOMY  xvii:6  eAt  the 
mouth  of  two  witnesses,  or  three  wit- 
nesses, shall  he  that  is  worthy  of 
death  be  put  to  death;  but  at  the 
mouth  of  one  witness  he  shall  not  be 
put  to  death. 

DEUTERONOMY  xix:15  One  wit- 
ness shall  not  rise  up  against  a  man 
for  any  iniquity,  or  for  any  sin,  in  any 
sin  that  he  sinneth:  at  the  mouth  of 
two  witnesses,  or  at  the  mouth  of  three 
witnesses,  shall  the  matter  be  estab- 
lished. 

I.  CHRONICLES  xvii:12  fHe  [Sol- 
cwnon]  shall  build  me  a  house,  and  I 
will  stablish  his  throne  for  ever. 

13  I  will  be  his  father,  and  he  shall 
be  ray  son:  and  I  will  not  take  my 
mercy  away  from  him,  as  I  took  it 
from  him  that  was  before  thee: 

14  But    I    will    settle    him    in  mine

Whoever  Committeth  Sin 


ST.  JOHN  vni. 


is  the  Servant  of  Sin. 


20  These  words  spake  Jesus  in  the 
treasury,  as  he  taught  in  the  temple: 
and  no  man  laid  hands  on  him;  for 
his  hour  was  not  yet  come. 

21  Then  said  Jesus  again  unto  them, 
I  go  my  way,  and  ye  shall  seek  me, 
a,nd  shall  die  in  your  sins:  whither  I 
go,  ye  cannot  come. 

22  Then  said  the  Jews,  Will  he  kill 
himself?  because  he  saith,  gWhither  I 
go,  ye  cannot  come. 

23  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  are 
from  beneath;  I  am  from  above:  ye 
are  of  this  world;  I  am  not  of  this 
world. 

24  I  said  therefore  unto  you,  that 
ye  shall  die  in  your  sins:  for  *if  ye  be- 
lieve not  that  I  am  he,  ye  shall  die  in 
your  sins. 

25  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Who 
art  thou?  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them. 
Even  the  same  that  I  said  unto  you 
from  the  beginning. 

26  I  have  many  things  to  say  and 
to  judge  of  you:  but  he  that  sent  me  is 
true;  and  I  speak  to  the  Avorld  those 
things  which  I  have  heard  of  him. 

27  They  understood  not  that  he 
spake  to  them  of  the  Father. 

28  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them, 
When  ye  have  lifted  up  the  Son  of 
man,  then  shall  ye  know  that  I  am  he, 
and  that  I  do  nothing  of  myself;  but 
as  my  Father  hath  taught  me,  I  speak 
these  things. 

29  And  he  that  sent  me  is  with  me: 
the  Father  hath  not  left  me  alone;  for 

house  and  in  my  kingdom  for  ever: 
and  his  throne  shall  be  established  for 
evermore. 

PSAI.M  lxix:28  gLet  them  [the 
wicked]  be  blotted  out  of  the  book  of 
the  living,  and  not  be  written  with  the 
righteous. 

ISAIAH  iv:3  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass,  that  he  that  is  left  in  Zion,  and 
he  that  remaineth  in  Jerusalem,  shall 
be  called  holy,  even  every  one  that  is 


I  do  always  those  things  that  please 
him. 

30  As  he  spake  these  words,  many 
believed  on  him. 

31  Then  said  Jesus  to  those  Jews 
which  believed  on  him.  If  ye  continue 
in  my  word,  then  are  ye  my  disciples 
indeed; 

32  And  ye  shall  know  the  truth,  and 
the  truth  shall  make  you  free. 

33  They  answered  him,  hWe  be 
Abraham's  seed,  and  were  never  in 
bondage  to  any  man:  how  sayest  thou. 
Ye  shall  be  nmde  free? 

34  Jesus  answered  them.  Verily, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever 
committeth  sin  is  the  servant  of  sin. 

35  And  the  servant  abideth  not  In 
the  house  for  ever:  but  the  iSon  abid- 
eth ever. 

36  If  the  Son  therefore  shall  make 
you  free,  ye  shall  be  free  indeed. 

37  I  know  that  ye  are  Abraham's 
seed;  but  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  because 
my  word  hath  no  place  in  you, 

38  I  speak  that  which  I  have  seen 
with  my  Father:  and  ye  do  that  which 
ye  have  seen  with  your  father. 

39  They  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  Abraham  is  our  father.  Jesus 
saith  unto  them.  If  ye  were  Abraham's 
children,  ye  would  do  the  works  of 
Abraham. 

40  But  now  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  a 
man  that  hath  told  you  the  truth, 
which  I  have  heard  of  God:  this  did 
not  Abraham.

The  Devil  is  the 


ST.  JOHN  vni. 


Father  of  Lies. 


Then  said  they  to  him,  We  be  not  born 
of  fornication,  Jwe  have  one  Father, 
even  God. 

42  Jesus  said  unto  them.  If  God 
were  your  Father,  ye  would  love  me: 
for  I  proceeded  forth  and  came  from 
God;  neither  came  I  of  myself,  l)Ut  he 
sent  me. 

43  Why  do  ye  not  understand  my 
speech?  even  because  ye  cannot  hear 
my  word. 

44  Ye  are  of  your  kfather  the  devil, 
and  the  lusts  of  your  father  ye  will  do: 
he  was  a  murderer  from  the  begin- 
ning, and  abode  not  in  the  truth,  be- 
cause there  is  no  truth  in  him. 
When  he  speaketh  a  lie,  he  speaketh  of 
his  own:  for  he  is  a  liar,  and  the  fath- 
er of  it. 

45  And  because  I  tell  you  the  truth, 
ye  believe  me  not. 

46  Which  of  you  convinceth  me  of 
sin?  And  if  I  say  the  truth,  why  do  ye 
not  believe  me? 

47  He  that  is  of  God  heareth  God's 
words:  ye  therefore  hear  them  not,  be- 
cause ye  are  not  of  God. 

48  Then  answered  the  Jews,  and 
said  unto  him,  Say  we  not  well  that 

build  a  house  for  my  name;  and  he 
shall  be  my  son,  and  I  will  be  his  fath- 
er; and  I  will  establish  the  throne  of 
his  kingdom  [in  Jesus]  over  Israel  for 
ever. 

ISAIAH  lxiii:16  JDoubtless  thou 
art  our  Father,  though  Abraham  be 
ignorant  of  us,  and  Israel  acknowledge 
us  not:  thou,  O  Lord,  art  our  Father, 
our  Redeemer;  thy  name  is  from  ev- 
erlasting. 

ISAIAH  lxiv:8  But  now,  0  Lord, 
thou  art  our  Father;  we  are  the  clay, 
and  thou  our  potter;  and  we  all  are 
the  work  of  thy  hand. 

MALACHI  i:6  A  son  honoureth 
his  father,  and  a  servant  his  master: 
if  then  I  be  a  father,  where  is  mine 
honour?  and  if  I  be  a  master,  where 
is  my  fear?  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts 
unto  you.  0  priests,  that  despise  my 
name.  And  ye  say.  Wherein  have  we 
despised  thy  name? 


thou  art  a  Samaritan,  and  hast  a  devil? 

49  Jesus  answered,  I  have  not  a 
devil;  but  I  honour  my  Father,  and  ye 
do  dishonour  me. 

50  And  I  seek  not  mine  own  glory: 
there  is  one  that  seeketh  and  judgeth. 

51  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  If 
a  man  keep  my  saying,  he  shall  never 
see  death. 

52  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him. 
Now  we  know  that  thou  hast  a  devil. 
lAbraham  is  dead,  and  the  prophets; 
and  thou  sayest.  If  a  man  keep  my 
saying,  he  shall  never  taste  of  death. 

53  Art  thou  greater  than  our  fath- 
er Abraham,  which  is  dead?  and  the 
prophets  are  dead:  whom  makest  thou 
thyself? 

54  Jesus  answered.  If  I  honour  my- 
self, my  honour  is  nothing:  It  is  my 
Father  that  honoureth  me;  of  whom 
ye  say,  that  he  is  your  God: 

55  Yet  ye  have  not  known  him;  but 
I  know  him:  and  if  I  should  say,  I 
know  him  not,  I  shall  be  a  liar  like 
unto  you:  but  I  know  him,  and  keep 
his  saying.

to  see  my  day:  and  he  saw  it,  and  was 
glad.

Jesus  Gave  Sight  to  a 


ST.  JOHN  IX. 


Man  Born  Blind. 


57  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him, 
Thou  art  not  yet  fifty  years  old,  and 
hast  thou  seen  Abraham? 

58  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Verily,  ver- 
ily, I  say  unto  you.  Before  Abraham 
was,  ni  am. 

59  Then  took  they  up  stones  to  cast 
at  him:  but  Jesus  hid  himself,  and 
went  out  of  the  temple,  going  through 
the  midst  of  them,  and  so  passed  by. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Jesus  gave  sight  to  a  man  born  blind.  13  The 
Pharisees  were  offended  because  Jesus  per- 
formed this  act  of  giving  sight  on  the  Sabbath, 
and  they  excommunicated  the  man. 

1  And  as  Jesus  passed  by,  he  saw  a 
man  which  was  blind  from  his  birth. 

2  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  say- 
ing. Master,  who  did  sin,  this  man,  or 
his  parents,  that  he  was  born  blind? 

3  Jesus  answered,  Neither  hath  this 
man  sinned,  nor  his  parents:  but  that 
the  works  of  God  should  be  made  man- 
ifest in  him. 

4  I  must  work  the  works  of  him 
that  sent  me,  while  it  is  day;  the  night 
cometh,  when  no  man  can  work. 

5  As  long  as  I  am  in  the  world,  al 
am  the  light  of  the  world. 

6  When  he  had  thus  spoken,  he 
spat  on  the  ground,  and  made  clay  of 
the  spittle,  and  he  anointed  the  eyes 
of  the  blind  man  with  the  clay. 

7  And  said  unto  him.  Go,  bwash  in 
the  pool  of  Siloam,  (which  is  by  inter- 
pretation. Sent.)  He  went  his  way, 
therefore,  and  washed,  and  came  see- 
ing. 

fruitful,  and  I  will  make  nations  of 
thee,  and  kings  shall  come  out  of  thee. 

7  And  I  will  establish  my  covenant 
between  me  and  thee  and  thy  seed  af- 
ter thee  in  their  generations,  for  an 
everlasting  covenant,  to  be  a  God  un- 
to'thee  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee.

to Moses,  I  AM  THAT  I  AM:  and  he 
said,  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  I  AM  hath  sent  me  un- 
to you.

8  The  neighbours  therefore,  and 
they  which  before  had  seen  him  that 
he  was  blind,  said,  Is  not  this  he  that 
sat  and  begged? 

9  Some  said.  This  is  he:  others 
said.  He  is  like  him:  but  he  said,  I  am 
he. 

10  Therefore  said  they  unto  him. 
How  were  thine  eyes  opened? 

11  He  answered  and  said,  A  man 
that  is  called  Jesus  made  clay,  and 
anointed  mine  eyes,  and  said  unto  me. 
Go  to  the  pool  of  Siloam,  and  wash: 
and  I  went  and  washed,  and  I  received 
sight. 

12  Then  said  they  unto  him.  Where 
is  he?     He  said,  I  know  not. 

13  They  brought  to  the  Pharisees 
him  that  aforetime  was  blind. 

14  And  it  was  the  sabbath  day 
when  Jesus  made  the  clay,  and  opened 
his  eyes. 

15  Then  again  the  Pharisees  also 
asked  him  how  he  had  received  his 
sight.  He  said  unto  them,  He  put  clay 
upon  mine  eyes,  and  I  washed,  and  do 
see. 

16  Therefore  said  some  of  the  Phar- 
isees, This  man  is  not  of  God,  because 
he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath  day.  Oth- 
ers said.  How  can  a  man  that  is  a  sin- 
ner do  such  miracles?  And  there 
was  a  division  among  them. 

17  They  say  unto  the  blind  man 
again,  What  sayest  thou  of  him,  that 
he  hath  opened  thine  eyes?  He  said, 
cHe  is  a  prophet.

The  Jews  were  Disturbeil  liy  Jesus 


ST.  JOHN  IX. 


(Jivlnif  Siifhl  to  u  Ullnd  Mun. 


18  But  the  Jews  did  not  believe 
concerning  him,  that  he  had  been 
blind,  and  received  his  sight,  until 
they  called  the  parents  of  him  that  had 
received  his  sight. 

19  And  they  asked  them,  saying.  Is 
this  your  son,  who  ye  say  was  born 
blind?  how  then  doth  he  now  see? 

20  His  parents  answered  them  and 
said.  We  know  that  this  is  our  son, 
and  that  he  was  born  blind: 

21  But  by  what  means  he  now 
seeth,  we  know  not;  or  who  hath  op- 
ened his  eyes,  we  know  not:  he  is  of 
age;  ask  him:  he  shall  speak  for  him^ 
self. 

22  These  words  spake  his  parents, 
because  they  tifeared  the  Jews:  for  the 
Jews  had  agreed  already,  that  if  any 
man  did  confess  that  he  was  Christ, 
he  should  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue. 

23  Therefore    said    his  parents,  He 

DEUTERONOMY     xviii:15  cThe 

Lord  thy  God  will  raise  up  unto  thee

2  And  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord  shall 
rest  upon  him,  the  spirit  of  wisdom 
and  imderstanding,  the  spirit  of  coun-

ISAIAH  viii:  11  For  the  Lord  spake 
thus  to  me  [Isaiah]  with  a  strong 
hand,  and  instructed  me  that  I  should 
not  walk  in  the  way  of  this  people, 
saying, 

12  Say  ye  not,  A  confederacy,  to  all 
them  to  whom  this  people  shall  say,  A 
confederacy;  neither  fear  ye  their 
fear,  nor  be  afraid.

him  be  your  dread.

is  of  age;   ask  him. 

24  Then  again  called  they  the  man 
that  was  blind,  and  said  unto  him, 
eGive  God  the  praise:  we  know  that 
this  man  is  a  sinner. 

25  He  answered  and  said,  W^hether 
he  be  a  sinner  or  no,  I  know  not:  one 
thing  I  know,  that,  whereas  I  was 
blind,  now  I  see. 

26  Then  said  they  to  him  again, 
What  did  he  to  thee?  how  opened  he 
thine  eyes? 

27  He  answered  them,  I  have  told 
you  already,  and  ye  did  not  hear: 
wherefore  would  ye  hear  it  again?  will 
ye  also  be  his  disciples? 

28  Then  they  reviled  him,  and  said. 
Thou  art  his  disciple;  but  we  are  Mo- 
ses' disciples. 

29  We  know  that  God  spake  unto 
Moses:  as  for  this  fellow,  we  fknow 
not  from  whence  he  is. 

comforteth  you:  who  art  thou,  that 
thou  shouldest  be  afraid  of  a  man  that 
shall  die,  and  of  the  son  of  man  which 
shall  be  made  as  grass; 

13  And  forgettest  the  Lord  thy 
Maker,  that  hath  stretched  forth  the 
heavens,  and  laid  the  foundations  of 
the  earth:  and  hast  feared  continually 
every  day  because  of  the  fury  of  the 
oppressor,  as  if  he  were  ready  to  de- 
stroy? and  where  is  the  fury  of  the 
oppressor? 

JOSHUA  vii:19  eAnd  Joshua  said 
unto  Achan,  My  son,  give,  I  pray  thee, 
glory  to  the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  and 
make  confession  unto  him;  and  tell 
me  now  what  thou  hast  done;  hide  it 
not  from  me. 

MICAH  v:2  fThou,  Beth-lehem 
Ephratah,  though  thou  be  little  among 
the  thousands  of  Judah,  yet  out  of  thee 
shall  he  [Christ]  come  forth  unto  me 
that  is  to  be  ruler  in  Israel;  whose  go- 
ings forth  have  been  from  of  old,

gained,  when  God  taketh  away  his

ST.  JOHN  IX. 


Hear  Sinners. 


30  The  man  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Why  herein  is  a  *marvellous 
thing,  that  ye  know  not  from  whence 
he  is,  and  yet  he  hath  opened  mine 
eyes. 

31  Now  we  know  that  gGod  heareth 
not  sinners:  but  if  any  man  be  a  wor- 
shipper of  God,  and  doeth  his  will, 
him  he  heareth. 

32  Since  the  world  began  was  it 
not  heard   that  any   man  opened   the 

JOB  XXXV :  12  There  they  cry,  but 
none  giveth  answer,  because  of  the 
pride  of  evil  men. 

PSALM  xviii:41  They  cried,  but 
there  was  none  to  save  them:  even  un- 
to the  Lord,  but  he  answered  them  not. 

PSALM  xxxiv:15  The  eyes  of  the 
Lord  are  upon  the  righteous,  and  his 
ears  are  open  unto  their  cry. 

PSALM  lxvi:18  If  I  regard  iniquity 
in  my  heart,  the  Lord  will  not  hear 
me: 

PROVERBS  i:24  Because  I  have 
called,  and  ye  refused;  I  have  stretched 
out  my  hand,  and  no  man  regarded; 

25  But  ye  have  set  at  naught  all 
my  counsel,  and  would  none  of  my  re- 
proof: 

28  Then  shall  they  call  upon  me, 
but  I  will  not  answer;  they  shall  seek 
me  early,  but  they  shall  not  find  me: 

PROVERBS  xv:29  The  Lord  is  far 
from  the  wicked:  but  he  heareth  the 
prayer  of  the  righteous. 

PROVERBS  xxviii:9  He  that  turn- 
eth  away  his  ear  from  hearing  the  law, 
even  his  prayer  shall  be  abomination. 

ISAIAH  i:15  And  when  ye  spread 
forth  your  hands,  I  will  hide  mine 
eyes  from  you;  yea,  when  ye  make 
many  prayers,  I  will  not  hear:  your 
hands  are  full  of  blood. 


*  This  is  the  first  time  on  record  that  a  man 
■who  was  born  blind  received  siuht.  It  was 
one  of  the  marvellous  thinjrs  that  Jesus  did; 
and  from  that  time  to  the  present  he  has  con- 
tinued to  do  wonderful  thinjrs.  He  takes  a  man 
who  has  descended  to  the  lowest  depths  of  degr- 
radation.  who  is  lost  to  every  moral  principle, 
and  transforms  such  into  the  most  pure  charac- 
ter. He  takes  the  thief  and  the  libertine  and 
makes  them  honest  and  virtuous.  He  takes  the 
man  who  prides  himself  on  account  of  his  mor- 
ality (which  is  a  difficult  case  to  handle), 
and  transforms  him  into  a  humble  devout, 
Christian.  He  takes  savajre  nations  and  civil- 
izes them,  and  he  will  pather  to  himself  a  vast 
company  of  people  of  spotless  purity.  Reader, 
will  you  be  one  of  this  company?

33  If  this  man  were  not  of  God, 
he  could  do  nothing. 

34  They  answered  and  said  unto 
him,  Thou  wast  altogether  born  In 
sins,  and  dost  thou  teach  us?  And 
they  cast  him  out. 

35  Jesus  heard  that  they  had  cast 
him  out;  and  when  he  had  found  him, 
he  said  unto  him,  hDost  thou  believe 
on  the  Son  of  God? 

JEREMIAH  xi:ll  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  them,  which  they  shall  not 
be  able  to  escape;  and  though  they 
shall  cry  unto  me,  I  will  not  hearken 
imto  them. 

JEREMIAH  xiv:12  Yv'hen  they  fast, 
I  will  not  hear  their  cry;  and  when 
they  offer  burnt  offering  and  an  obla- 
tion, I  will  not  accept  them:  but  I  will 
consume  them  by  the  sword,  and  by 
the  famine,  and  by  the  pestilence. 

EZEKIEL  viii:7  And  he  brought 
me  to  the  door  of  the  court;  and  when 
I  looked,  behold  a  hole  in  the  wall. 

8  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  dig  now  in  the  wall:  and  when 
I  had  digged  in  the  wall,  behold  a 
door. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me.  Go  in,  and 
behold  the  wicked  abominations  that 
they  do  here. 

10  So  I  went  in  and  saw;  and  be- 
hold every  form  of  creeping  things, 
and  abominable  beasts,  and  all  the 
idols  of  the  house  of  Israel,  portrayed 
upon  the  wall  round  about. 

18  Therefore  will  I  also  deal  in  fu- 
ry: mine  eye  shall  not  spare,  neither 
will  I  have  pity:  and  though  they  cry 
in  mine  ears  with  a  loud  voice,  yet 
will  I  not  hear  them. 

MICAH  iii:4  Then  shall  they  cry 
unto  the  Lord,  but  he  will  not  hear 
them:  he  will-  even  hide  his  face  from 
them  at  that  time,  as  they  have  be- 
haved  themselves   ill   in  their  doings. 

ZECHARIAH  vu:U  Therefore  it 
is  come  to  pass,  that  as  he  cried,  and 
they  would  not  hear;  so  they  cried, 
and  I  would  not  hear,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts:

ST.  JOHN  X. 


Shepherd. 


36  He  answered  and  said,  Who  is 
he,  Lord,  that  I  might  believe  on  him? 

37  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thou 
hast  both  seen  him,  and*  it  is  he  that 
talketh  with  thee. 

38  And  he  said,  Lord,  I  believe. 
iAnd  he  worshipped  him. 

39  And  Jesus  said,  JFor  judgment 
I  am  come  into  this  world,  kthat  they 
which  see  not  might  see;  and  that  they 
which  see  might  be  made  blind. 

40  And  some  of  the  Pharisees  which 
were  with  him  heard  these  words,  and 
said  unto  him.  Are  we  blind  also? 

41  Jesus  said  unto  them,  ilf  ye  were 
blind,  ye  should  have  no  sin:  but  now 
ye  say.  We  see;  therefore  your  sin  re- 
maineth. 

CHAPTER  X. 

Christ  is  the  door  and  the  good  shepherd.  24 
The  works  of  Jesus  jirove  that  he  was  the 
Christ.  39  Jesus  escaped  from  the  Jews,  who 
sought  to  take  him. 

1    Verily,    verily,    I    say  unto  you, 

DEUTERONOMY     xxvi:10  lAnd 

now,  behold,  I  have  brought  the  first- 
fruits  of  the  land,  which  thou,  O  Lord, 
hast  given  me.  And  thou  shalt  set  it 
before  the  Lord  thy  God,  and  worship 
before  the  Lord  thy  God: 

PSALM  xxii:27  All  the  ends  of  the 
world  shall  remember  and  turn  unto 
the  Lord:  and  all  the  kindreds  of  the 
nations  shall  worship  before  thee 
[Christ]. 

28  For  the  kingdom  is  the  Lord's: 
and  he  is  the  governor  among  the  na- 
tions. 

PSALM  xxix:2  Give  unto  the  Lord 
the  glory  due  unto  his  name;  worship 
the  Lord  in  the  beauty  of  holiness. 

ISAIAH  XLILl  JBehold  my  serv- 
ant, whom  I  uphold;  mine  elect,  in 
whom  my  soul  delighteth;  I  have  put 
my  Spirit  upon  him:  he  shall  bring 
forth  judgment  to  the  Gentiles. 

PSALMcxlvi:8  kThe  Lord  openeth 
the  eyes  of  the  blind:  the  Lord  raiseth 
them  that  are  bowed  down:  the  Lord 
loveth  the  righteous: 

ISAIAH  xlii:7  [Jesus  came]  To  op- 
en the  blind  eyes,  to  bring  out  the 
prisoners  from  the  prison,  and  them 
that  sit  in  darkness  out  of  the  prison 
house. 

ISAIAH  lvi:10      iHis  watchmen  are 


mHe  that  entereth  not  by  the  door  in- 
to the  sheep  fold,  but  climbeth  up 
some  other  way,  the  same  is  a  thief 
and  a  robber. 

2  But  he  that  entereth  in  by  the 
door  is  the  shepherd  of  the  sheep. 

3  To  him  the  porter  openeth;  and 
nthe  sheep  hear  his  voice:  and  he  call- 
eth  his  own  sheep  by  name,  and  lead- 
eth  them  out. 

4  And  when  he  putteth  forth  his 
own  sheep,  he  goeth  before  them,  and 
the  sheep  follow  him:  for  they  know 
his  voice. 

5  And  a  stranger  will  they  not  fol- 
low, but  will  flee  from  him;  for  they 
know  not  the  voice  of  strangers. 

6  This  parable  spake  Jesus  unto 
them;  but  they  understood  not  what 
things  they  were  which  he  spake  unto 
them. 

7  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  again, 

blind:  they  are  all  ignorant,  they  are 
all  dumb  dogs,  they  cannot  laark; 
sleeping,  lying  down,  loving  to  slum- 
ber. 

JEREMIAH  xxiii:21  ml  [God] 
have  not  sent  these  prophets,  yet  th^y 
ran:  I  haA^e  not  spoken  to  them,  yet 
they  prophesied. 

22  But  if  they  had  stood  in  my 
counsel,  and  had  caused  my  people  to 
hear  my  words,  then  they  should  have 
turned  them  from  their  evil  way,  and 
from  the  evil  of  their  doings. 

PSALM  lxxviii:52  nBut  [God] 
made  his  own  people  to  go  forth  like 
sheep,  and  guided  them  in  the  wilder- 
ness like  a  flock. 

53  And  he  led  them  on  safely,  so 
that  they  feared  not:  but  the  sea  over- 
whelmed their  enemies. 

EZEKIEL  xxxiv:ll  For  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I,  even  I,  will 
both  search  my  sheep,  and  seek  them 
out. 

12  As  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his 
flock  in  the  day  that  he  is  among  his 
sheep  that  are  scattered;  so  will  I  seek 
out  my  sheep,  and  will  deliver  them 
out  of  all  places  where  they  have  been 
scattered  in  the  cloudy  and  dark  day.

of  the  Sheepfold. 


Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  I  am  the 
door  of  the  sheep. 

8  oAll  that  ever  came  before  me  are 
thieves  and  robbers:  but  the  sheep  did 
not  hear  them. 

9  I  am  the  door:  by  me  if  any  man 
enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved,  and  shall 
go  in  and  out,  and  find  pasture. 

10  The  thief  cometh  not,  but  for  to 
steal,  and  to  kill,  and  to  destroy:  I 
am  come  that  they  might  have  life, 
and  that  they  might  have  it  more 
abundantly. 

11  pl  am  the  good  Shepherd:  the 
good  shepherd  giveth  his  life  for  the 
sheep. 

12  But    he  that  is  a  hireling,  and 

the  people,  and  gather  them  from  the 
countries,  and  will  bring  them  to  their 
own  land,  and  feed  them  upon  the 
mountains  of  Israel  by  the  rivers,  and 
in  all  the  inhabited  places  of  the  coun- 
try. 

14  I  will  feed  them  in  a  good  pas- 
ture, and  upon  the  high  mountains  of 
Israel  shall  their  fold  be:  there  shall 
they  lie  in  a  good  fold,  and  in  a  fat 
pasture  shall  they  feed  upon  the 
mountains  of  Israel. 
■  15  I  will  feed  my  flock,  and  I  will 
cause  them  to  lie  down,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

JEREMIAH  XXIII  :1  oWoe  unto 
the  pastors  that  destroy  and  scatter 
the  sheep  of  my  pasture  I  saith  the 
Lord. 

2  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel  against  the  pastors  that 
feed  my  people;  Ye  have  scattered  my 
flock,  and  driven  them  away,  and  have 
not  visited  them:  behold,  I  will  visit 
upon  you  the  evil  of  your  doings,  saith 
the  Lord. 

JEREMIAH  1:6  My  people  hath 
been  lost  sheep:  their  shepherds  have 
caused  them  to  go  astray,  they  have 
turned  them  away  on  the  mountains: 
they  have  gone  from  mountain  to  hill, 
they  have  forgotten  their  resting  place. 

ISAIAH  xl:ll  pHe  [Christ]  shall 
feed  his  flock  like  a  shepherd:  he  shall 
gather  the  lambs  with  his  arm,  and 
carry  them  in  his  bosom,  and  shall 
gently  lead  those  that  are  with  young. 

EZEKIEL   xxxiv:ll    For  thus  saith 


not  the  shepherd,  whose  own  the  sheep 
are  not,  seeth  the  wolf  coming,  and 
qleaveth  the  sheep,  and  fleeth;  and  the 
wolf  catcheth  them,  and  scattereth  the 
sheep. 

13  The  hireling*  fleetn,  because  he 
is  a  hireling,  and  careth  not  for  the 
sheep. 

14  I  am  the  good  shepherd,  and 
know  my  sheep,  and  am  known  of 
mine. 

15  As  the  Father  knoweth  me,  even 
so  know  I  the  Father:  and  I  lay  down 
my  life  for  the  sheep. 

16  And  other  sheep  I  have,  which 
are  not  of  this  fold:  them  also  I  must 
bring,  and  they  shall  hear  my  voice; 

the  Lord  God;  Behold,  I,  even  I,  will 
both  search  my  sheep,  and  seek  them 
out. 

12  As  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his 
flock  in  the  day  that  he  is  among  his 
sheep  that  are  scattered;  so  will  I  seek 
out  my  sheep,  and  will  deliver  them 
out  of  all  places  where  they  have  been 
scattered  in  the  cloudy  and  dark  day. 

23  And  I  will  set  up  one  Shepherd 
over  them,  and  he  shall  feed  them,  ev- 
en my  servant  David  [or  Jesus  son  of 
David]  he  shall  feed  them,  and  he 
shall  be  their  shepherd. 

EZEKIEL  xxxvii:24  And  David 
[or  Jesus]  my  sen^ant  shall  be  king 
over  them;  and  they  all  shall  have 
one  shepherd:  they  shall  also  walk  in 
my  judgments,  and  observe  my  stat- 
utes, and  do  them. 

ZECHARIAH  xi:16  For,  lo,  I  will 
raise  up  a  shepherd  in  the  land,  which 
shall  not  visit  those  that  be  cut  off, 
neither  shall  seek  the  young  one,  nor 
heal  that  that  is  broken,  nor  feed  that 
that  standeth  still:  but  he  shall  eat 
the  flesh  of  the  fat,  and  tear  their 
claws  in  pieces. 

17  Woe  to  the  idle  shepherd  that 
leaveth  the  flock!  the  sword  shall  be 
upon  his  arm.  and  upon  his  right  eye. 
his  arm  shall  be  clean  dried  up.  and 
his  right  eye  shall  be  utterly  darkened. 

JEREMIAH  x:21  qFor  the  pastors

and  rthere  shall  be  one  fold,  and  one 
shepherd. 

17  Therefore  doth  my  Father  love 
me,  because  si  lay  down  my  life,  that 
I  might  take  it  again. 

18  No  man  taketh  it  from  me,  but 
I  lay  it  down  of  myself.  I  have  power 
to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  power  to 
take  it  again.  This  commandment 
have  I  received  of  my  Father. 

19  There  was  a  division  therefore 
again  among  the  Jews  for  these  say- 
ings. 

20  And  many  of  them  said,  He  hath 
a  devil,  and  is  mad;  why  hear  ye  him? 

21  Others  said.  These  are  not  the 
words  of  him  that  hath  a  devil.  tCan 
a  devil  open  the  eyes  of  the  blind? 

22  And  it  was  at  Jerusalem  the 
feast  of  the  dedication,  and  it  was 
winter. 

23  And  Jesus  walked  in  tl>e  temple 
in  Solomon's  porch. 

24  Then  came  the  Jews  round 
about  him,  and  said  unto  him,  How 
long  dost  thou  make  us  to  doubt?  If 
thou  be  the  Christ,  tell  us  plainly. 

25  Jesus  answered  them,  I  told  you, 

JEREMIAH  1:17  Israel  is  a  scat- 
tered sheep:  the  lions  have  driven 
him  away:  iirst  the  king  of  Assyria 
hath  devoured  him;  and  last  this 
Nebuchadrezzar  king  of  Babylon  hath 
broken  his  bones. 

EZEKIEL  xxxvii:22  rAnd  I  [the 
Lord]  will  make  them  one  nation  in 
the  land  upon  the  mountains  of  Is- 
rael; and  one  king  shall  be  king  to 
them  all:  and  they  shall  be  no  more 
two  nations,  neither  shall  they  be  di- 
vided into  two  kingdoms  any  more 
at  all: 

ISAIAH  liii:7  sHe  [Jesus]  was 
oppressed,  and  he  was  afflicted,  yet 
he  opened  not  his  mouth:  he  is 
brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaughter, 
and  as  a  sheep  before  her  shearers 
is  dumb,  so  he  opened  not  his  mouth. 

8  He  was  taken  from  prison,  and 
from  judgment:  and  who  shall  de- 
clare his  generation?  for  he  was  cut 
off  out  of  the  land  of  the  living:   for 


and  ye  believed  not:  the  works  that  I 
do  in  my  Father's  name,  they  bear 
witness  of  me. 

26  But  ye  believe  not,  because  ye 
are  not  of  my  sheep,  as  I  said  unto 
you. 

27  My  sheep  hear  my  voice,  and  I 
know  them,  and  they  follow  me: 

28  And  I  give  unto  them  eternal 
life;  and  they  shall  never  perish,  nei- 
ther shall  any  man  puck  them  out  of 
my  hand. 

29  My  Father,  which  gave  them  me, 
is  greater  than  all;  and  no  man  is  able 
to  pluck  them  out  of  my  Father's  hand. 

30  I  and  my  Father  are  one. 

31  Then  the  Jews  took  up  stones 
again  to  stone  him. 

32  Jesus  answered  them.  Many  good 
works  have  I  shewed  you  from  my 
Father;  for  which  of  those  works  do 
ye  stone  me? 

33  The  Jews  answered  him,  saying, 
For  a  good  work  we  stone  thee  not; 
but  for  blasphemy;  and  because  that 
thou,  being  a  man,  makest  thyself 
God. 

34  Jesus  answered  them,  Is  it  not 

the  transgression  of  my  people  was 
he  stricken. 

12  Therefore  will  I  divide  him  a

gods? 

35  If  he  called  them  gods,  unto 
whom  the  word  of  God  came,  and  the 
Scripture  cannot  be  broken; 

36  Say  ye  of  him,  whom  the  Fath- 
er hath  sanctified,  and  sent  into  the 
world.  Thou  blasphemest;  because  I 
said,  vi  am  the  Son  of  God? 

37  If  I  do  not  the  works  of  my 
Father,  believe  me  not. 

38  But  if  I  do,  though  ye  believe 
not  me,  believe  the  works;  that  ye 
may  know,  and  believe,  that  the 
Father  is  in  me,  and  I  in  him. 

39  Therefore  they  sought  again  to 
take  him;  but  he  escaped  out  of  their 
hand, 

40  And  went  away  again  beyond 
Jordan  into  the  place  where  John  at 
first  baptized;    and   there  he  abode. 

41  And  many  resorted  unto  him, 
and  said,  John  did  no  miracle:  but 
all  things  that  John  spake  of  this 
man  were  true.

1  Now  a  certain  man  was  sick, 
named  Lazarus,  of  Bethany,  the  town 
of  Mary  and  her  sister  Martha.

anointed  the  Lord  with  ointment, 
and  wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair,

fall  like  one  of  the  princes. 

DANIEL  iii:25  vHe  [Nebuchad- 
nezzar] answered  and  said,  Lo,  I  see 
four  men  loose,  walking  in  the  midst 
of  the  fire,  and  they  have  no  hurt; 
and  the  form  of  the  fourth  is  like  the 


4  When  Jesus  heard  that,  he  said. 
This  sickness  is  not  unto  death,  but 
for  the  glory  of  God,  that  the  Son  of 
God  might  be  glorified  thereby. 

5  Now  Jesus  loved  Martha,  and 
her  sister,  and  Lazarus. 

6  When  he  had  heard  therefore 
that  he  was  sick,  he  abode  two  days 
still  in  the  same  place  where  he  was. 

7  Then  after  that  saith  he  to  his 
disciples.  Let  us  go  into  Judaea  again. 

8  His  disciples  say  unto  him,  Mas- 
ter, the  Jews  of  late  sought  to  stone 
thee;  and  goest  thou  thither  again? 

9  Jesus  answered.  Are  there  not 
twelve  hours  in  the  day?  If  any 
man  walk  in  the  day,  he  stumbleth 
not,  because  he  seeth  the  light  of  this 
world. 

10  But  if  a  man  walk  in  the  night, 
he  stumbleth,  because  there  is  no 
light  in  him. 

11  These  things  said  he:  and  af- 
ter that  he  saith  unto  them.  Our 
friend  Lazarus  wsleepeth;  but  I  go 
that  I  may  awake  him  out  of  sleep. 

12  Then  said  his  disciples.  Lord, 
if  he  sleep,  he  shall  do  well. 

13  Howbeit  Jesus  spake  of  his 
death:  but  they  thought  that  he  had 
spoken  of  taking  of  rest  in  sleep. 

14  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them 
plainly,  Lazarus  is  dead. 

15  And  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes 
that  I  was  not  there,  to  the  intent  ye 
may  believe;  nevertheless  let  us  go 
unto  him.

The  Stone  Taken  Away 


ST.  JOHN  XI. 


from  the  Grave  of  Lazarus. 


17  Then  when  Jesus  came,  he 
found  that  he  had  Iain  in  the  grave 
four  days  already. 

18  Now  Bethany  was  nigh  unto  Je- 
rusalem, about  fifteen  furlongs  off: 

19  And  many  of  the  Jews  came  to 
Martha  and  Mary,  to  comfort  them 
concerning  their  brother. 

20  Then  Martha  as  soon  as  she 
heard  that  Jesus  was  coming,  went 
and  met  him:  but  Mary  sat  still  in 
the  house. 

21  Then  said  Martha  unto  Jesus, 
Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my 
brother  had  not  died. 

22  But  I  know,  that  even  now, 
whatsoever  thou  wilt  ask  of  God, 
God  will  give  it  thee. 

23  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Thy  bro- 
er  shall  rise  again. 

24  Martha  saith  unto  him,  I  know 
that  he  xshall  rise  again  in  the  re- 
surrection at  the  last  day. 

25  Jesus  said  unto  her,  I  am  the 
resurrection,  and  the  life:  he  that  be- 
lieveth  in  me,  though  he  were  dead, 
yet  shall  he  live: 

26  And  whosoever  liveth  and  be- 
lieveth  in  me  shall  never  die.  Be- 
lievest  thou  this? 

27  She  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord; 
I  believe  that  thou  art  the  Christ,  ythe 
Son  of  God,  which  should  come  into 
the  world. 

28  And  when  she  had  so  said,  she 
went  her  way,  and  called  Mary  her 
sister  secretly,  saying,  The  Master  is 
come,  and  calleth  for  thee. 

29  As  soon  as  she  heard  that,  she 
arose  quickly,  and  came  unto  him.

contempt. 

PSALM  ii:7  yl  will  declare  the  de- 
cree:    the    Lord     hath     said  unto  me 


30  Now  Jesus  was  not  yet  come 
into  the  town,  but  was  in  that  place 
where  Martha  met  him. 

31  The  Jews  then  which  were  with 
her  in  the  house,  and  comforted  her, 
when  they  saw  Mary,  that  she  rose 
up  hastily  and  went  out,  followed 
her  saying.  She  goeth  unto  the  grave 
to  weep  there. 

32  Then  when  Mary  was  come 
where  Jesus  was,  and  saw  him,  she 
fell  down  at  his  feet,  saying  unto 
him.  Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here, 
my  brother  had  not  died. 

33  When  Jesus  therefore  saw  her 
weeping,  and  the  Jews  also  weeping 
which  came  with  her,  he  groaned  in 
the  spirit,  and  was  troubled. 

34  And  said,  Where  have  ye  laid 
him.  They  say  unto  him.  Lord,  come 
and  see. 

35  aJesus  wept. 

36  Then  said  the  Jews,  Behold  how 
he  loved  him! 

37  And  some  of  them  said,  Could 
not  this  man,  which  bopened  the  eyes 
of  the  blind,  have  caused  that  even, 
this   man   should   not   have   died? 

38  Jesus  therefore  again  groaning 
in  himself  cometh  to  the  grave.  It 
was  a  cave,  and  a  stone  lay  upon  it. 

39  Jesus  said.  Take  ye  away  the 
stone.  Martha,  the  sister  of  him  that 
was  dead,  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  by  this 
time  he  stinketh:  for  he  hath  been 
dead  four  days. 

40  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Said  I  not 
unto  thee,  that,  if  thou  wouldest  be- 
lieve, thou  shouldest  see  the  glory  of 
God?

from  the  place  where  the  dead  was 
laid.  And  Jesus  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  said,  Father,  I  thank  thee  that 
thou  hast  heard  me. 

42  And  I  knew  that  thou  hearest 
me  always:  but  because  of  the  people 
which  stand  by  I  said  it,  that  they 
may  believe  that  thou  hast  sent  me. 

43  And  when  he  thus  had  spoken, 
he  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  Lazarus, 
ccome  forth. 

44  And  he  that  was  dead  came 
forth,  hound  hand  and  foot  with  grave- 
clothes;  and  his  face  was  bound  about 
■with  a  napkin.  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
Loose  him,  and  let  him  go. 

45  Then  many  of  the  Jews  which 
came  to  Mary,  and  had  seen  the  things 
which    Jesus    did,    believed    on    him. 

46  But  some  of  them  went  their 
■ways  to  the  Pharisees,  and  told  them 
■what  things  Jesus  had  done.

and  the  Pharisees  a  council,  and  said.

and  cast  away  their  cords  from  us. 

DANIEL  ix:26  eAnd  after  three-

shall  destroy  the  city  and  the  sanctu- 


place  and  nation. 

49  And  one  of  them,  named  Caia- 
phas, being  the  high  priest  that  same 
year,  said  unto  them.  Ye  know  noth- 
ing at  all, 

50  Nor  consider  that  it  is  expedient 
for  us,  that  one  man  should  die  for  the 
people,  and  that  the  whole  nation  per- 
ish not. 

51  And  this  spake  he  not  of  him- 
self: but  being  high  priest  that  year, 
he  prophesied  that  Jesus  should  die  for 
that  nation; 

52  And  fnot  for  that  nation  only, 
but  that  also  he  should  gather  to- 
gether in  one  the  children  of  God  that 
were  scattered  abroad. 

53  Then  from  that  day  forth  they 
took  counsel  together  for  to  put  him 
to  death. 

54  Jesus  therefore  walked  no  more 
openly  among  the  Jews;  but  went 
thence  unto  a  country  near  to  the 
wilderness,  into  a  city  called  Ephraim, 
and  there  continued  with  his  disciples. 

55  And  the  gJews'  passover  was

56  Then  sought  they  for  Jesus,  and 
spake  among  themselves,  as  they  stood 
in  the  temple,  What  think  ye,  that  he 
will  not  come  to  the  feast? 

57  Now  both  the  chief  priests  and 
the  Pharisees  had  given  a  command- 
ment, that,  if  any  man  knew  where  he 
were,  he  would  shew  it,  that  they 
might  take  him. 

CHAPTER  XII. 

Mary  anointed  the  feet  of  Jesus.  10  The  chief 
priests  consult  to  put  Lazarus  to  death.  12 
Christ  rode  into  Jerusalem.  20  Greeks  desire 
to  see  Jesus.  23  He  foretells  his  death.  37  The 
blindness  of  the  Jews.  42  Many  of  the  chief 
rulers  believed  on  him. 

1  Then  Jesus  six  days  before  the 
passover  came  to  Bethany,  where  Laz- 
arus was  which  had  been  dead,  whom 
he    raised   from    the   dead. 

2  There  they  made  him  a  supper; 
and  Martha  served:  but  Lazarus  was 
one  of  them  that  sat  at  the  table  with 
him. 

3  Then  took  Mary  a  pound  of  oint- 
ment of  spikenard,  very  costly,  and  an- 
ointed the  feet  of  Jesus,  and  wiped  his 
feet  with  her  hair:  and  the  house  was 
filled  with  the  odour  of  the  ointment. 

4  Then  saith  one  of  his  disciples, 
Judas  Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  which 
should  betray  him, 

from  Israel:  because  the  water  of  sepa- 
ration was  not  sprinkled  upon  him,  he 
shall  be  unclean;  his  uncleanness  is 
yet  upon  him. 

20  But  the  man  that  shall  be  un- 
clean, and  shall  not  purify  himself, 
that  soul  shall  be  cut  off  from  among 
the  congregation,  because  he  hath  de- 
filed the  sanctuary  of  the  Lord:  the 
water  of  separation  hath  not  been 
sprinkled  upon  him;    he  is  unclean. 

MALACHI  iii:3  And  he  [Christ] 
shall  sit  as  a  refiner  and  purifier  of 
silver:  and  he  shall  purify  the  sons 
of  Levi,  and  purge  them  as  gold  and 
silver,  that  they  may  offer  unto  the 
Lord  an  offering  in  righteousness. 

4  Then  shall  the  offering  of  Judah 
and  Jerusalem  be  pleasant  unto  the 
Lord,  as  in  the  days  of  old,  and  as  in 
former  years. 


5  Why  was  not  this  ointment  sold 
for  three  hundred  pence,  and  given  to 
the  poor? 

6  This  he  said,  not  that  he  cared 
for  the  poor;  but  because  he  was  a 
thief,  and  ahad  the  bag,  and  bare  what 
was  put  therein. 

7  Then  said  Jesus,  Let  her  alone: 
against  the  day  of  my  burying  hath 
she  kept  this. 

8  For  bthe  poor  always  ye  have  with, 
you;  but  me  ye  have  not  always. 

9  Much  people  of  the  Jews  there- 
fore knew  that  he  was  there:  and  they 
came  not  for  Jesus'  sake  only,  but  that 
they  might  see  Lazarus  also,  whom  he 
had  raised  from  the  dead. 

10  But  cthe  chief  priests  consulted 
that  they  might  put  Lazarus  also  to 
death; 

11  Because  that  by  reason  of  him 
many  of  the  Jews  went  away,  and  be- 
lieved on  Jesus. 

12  On  the  next  day  much  people 
that  were  come  to  the  feast,  when 
they  heard  that  Jesus  was  coming  to 
Jerusalem, 

13  Took  branches  of  palm  trees, 
and  went  forth  to  meet  him,  and 
cried,  Hosanna:  dBlessed  is  the  King

ten, 

15  eFear  not,  daughter  of  Sion:  be-

16  These  things  understood  not  his 
disciples  at  the  first:  but  when  Jesus 
was  glorified,  then  remembered  they 
that  these  things  were  written  of  him, 
and  that  they  had  done  these  things 
unto  him. 

17  The  people  therefore  that  was 
with  him  when  he  called  Lazarus  out

dead,   bare   record.

Zion,    Behold,   thy   salvation   cometh; 


24  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
Except  a  corn  of  wheat  fall  into  the 
ground  and  die,  it  abideth  alone:  but 
if  it  die,  it  bringeth  forth  much  fruit. 

25  He  that  loveth  his  life  shall  lose 
it;  and  he  that  hateth  his  life  in  this 
world  shall  keep  it  unto  life  eternal. 

26  If  any  man  serve  me,  let  him 
follow  me;  and  where  I  am,  there 
shall  also  my  servant  be:  if  any  man 
serve  me,  him  will  my  Father  hon- 
our. 

27  Now  is  my  soul  troubled;  and 
what  shall  I  say?  Father,  save  me 
from  this  hour:  but  for  this  cause 
came  I  unto  this  hour. 

28  Father,  glorify  thy  name.  Then 
came  there  a  voice  from  heaven,  say- 
ing, I  have  both  glorified  it,  and  will 
glorify  it  again. 

29  The  people  therefore  that  stood 
by,  and  heard  it,  said  that  it  thun- 
dered: others  said.  An  angel  spake 
to  him. 

30  Jesus  answered  and  said.  This 
voice  came  not  because  of  me,  but  for 
your  sakes. 

31  Now  is  the  judgment  of  this 
world:  now  shall  the  prince  of  this 
world  be  cast  out. 

32  And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up  from  the 
earth,  will  draw  all  men  unto  me. 

33  This  he  said,  signifying  what 
death  he  should  die. 

34  T^he  people  answerea  him,  fWe 
have  heard  out  of  the  law  that  Christ 
abideth    for    ever:     and    how    sayest 

behold,  his  [Christ's]  reward  is  with 
him,  and  his  work  before  him.

not  whither  he  goeth. 

36  While  ye  have  light,  believe  in 
the  light,  that  ye  may  be  the  children 
of  light.  These  things  spake  Jesus,

41  kThese  things  said  Isaiah,  when 
he  saw  his  glory,  and  spake  of  him. 

42  Nevertheless  among  the  chief 
rulers  also  many  believed  on  him;  but 
because  of  the  Pharisees  they  did  not 
confess  him,  lest  they  should  be  put 
out  of  the  synagogue: 

43  For  they  loved  the  praise  of 
men  more  than  the  praise  of  God. 

44  Jesus  cried  and  said,  He  that 
believeth  on  me,  believeth  not  on  me, 
but  on   him  that  sent   me. 

45  And  he  that  seeth  me  seeth  him 
that  sent  me. 

46  I  am  come  a  light  into  the 
world,  that  whosoever  believeth  on  me 
should  not  abide  in  darkness. 

47  And  if  any  man  hear  my  words, 
and  believe  not,  I  judge  him  not:  for 
I  came  not  to  judge  the  world,  but  to 
save  the  world. 

48  He  that  rejecteth  me,  and  re- 
ceiveth  not  my  words,  hath  one  that 
judgeth  him:  ithe  word  that  I  have 
spoken,  the  same  shall  judge  him  in 
the  last  day. 

49  For  I  have  not  spoken  of  my- 
self; but  the  Father  which  sent  me,  he 
gave  me  a  commandment,  mwhat  I 
should  say,  and  what  I  should  speak.

CHAPTER   XIII. 

Jesus  washed  the  disciple's  feet.  18  Jesus 
foretold  that  Judas  would  betray  him.  31  He 
commanded  the  disciples  to  love  one  another. 
36  Christ  informed  Peter  that  he  would  deny 
him. 

1  Now  before  the  feast  of  the 
apassover,  when  Jesus  knew  that  his 
hour  was  come  that  he  should  depart 
out  of  this  world  unto  the  Father, 
having  loved  his  own  which  were  in 
the  world,  he  loved  them  unto  the 
end. 

2  And  supper  being  ended,  the 
devil  having  now  put  into  the  heart 
of  Judas  Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  to  be- 
tray him; 

3  Jesus  knowing  that  the  Father 
had  given  all  things  into  his  hands, 
and  that  he  was  come  from  God,  and 
went  to  God; 

4  He  riseth  from  supper,  and  laid 
aside  his  garments;  and  took  a  towel,, 
and  girded  himself. 

5  After  that  he  poureth  water  in- 
to a  basin,  and  began  to  wash  the  dis- 
ciples' feet,  and  to  wipe  them  with 
the  towel  wherewith  he  was  girded. 

6  Then  cometh  he  to  Simon  Peter: 
and  Peter  saith  unto  him.  Lord,  dost 
thou  wash  my  feet? 

7  Jesus    answered    and    said    unto 

ye  eat  it  [the  lamb] ;  with  your  loins 
girded,  your  shoes  on  your  feet,  and 
your  staff  in  your  hand;  and  ye  shall 
eat  it  in  haste:  it  is  the  Lord's  pass- 
over. 

12  For  I  will  pass  through  the 
land  of  Egypt  this  night,  and  will 
smite  all  the  firstborn  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  both  man  and  beast;  and 
against  all  the  gods  of  Egypt  I  will 
execute  judgment:  I  am  the  Lord. 

27  That  ye  shall  say.  It  is  the  sac- 
rifice of  the  Lord's  passover,  who 
passed  over  the  houses  of  the  children 
of  Israel  in  Egypt,  when  he  smote  the 
Egyptians,  and  delivered  our  houses.

him,     What     I     do    thou    knowest    not 
now;    but  thou   shalt   know    hereafter. 

8  Peter  saith  unto  him,  Thou  shalt 
never  wash  my  feet.  Jesus  answered 
him,  If  I  wash  thee  not,  thou  hast  no 
part  with  me. 

9  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  him. 
Lord,  not  my  feet  only,  but  also  my 
hands  and  my  head. 

10  Jesus  saith  to  him.  He  that  is 
bwashed  needeth  not  save  to  wash  his 
feet,  but  is  clean  everj-  whit:  and  ye 
are  clean,  but  not  all. 

11  For  he  knew  who  should  betray 
him;  therefore  said  he.  Ye  are  not  all 
clean. 

12  So  after  he  had  washed  their 
feet,  and  had  taken  his  garments,  and 
was  set  down  again,  he  said  unto 
them.  Know  ye  what  I  have  done  to 
you? 

13  Ye  call  me  Master  and  Lord: 
ajid  ye  say  well;  for  so  I  am. 

14  If  I  then,  your  Lord  and  Mas- 
ter, have  washed  your  feet;  ye  also 
ought  to  wash  one  another's  feet. 

15  For  I  have  given  you  an  exam- 
ple, that  ye  should  do  as  I  have  done 
to  you. 

16  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
The  servant  is  not  greater  than  his 
lord:  neither  he  that  is  sent  greater 
than  he  that  sent  him. 

EZEKIEL  xxxvi:25  bThen  will  I 
sprinkle  clean  water  upon  you,  and  ye 
shall  be  clean:  from  all  your  filthi- 
ness,  and  from  all  your  idols,  will  I 
cleanse  you. 

26  A  new  heart  also  will  I  give  you, 
and  a  new  spirit  will  I  put  within 
you:  and  I  will  take  away  the  stony 
heart  out  of  your  flesh,  and  I  will  give 
you  a  heart  of  flesh. 

27  And  I  will  put  my  Spirit  with- 
in you,  and  cause  you  to  walk  in  my 
statutes,  and  ye  shall  keep  my  judg- 
ments, and  do  them. 

28  .A.nd  ye  shall  dwell  in  the  land 
that  I  gave  to  your  fathers:  and  ye 
shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will  be  your 
God.  • 


17  If  ye  know  these  things,  happy 
are  ye  if  ye  do  them. 

18  I  speak  not  of  you  all:  I  know 
whom  I  have  chosen:  but  that  the 
Scripture  may  be  fulfilled,  cHe  that 
eateth  broad  with  me  hath  lifted  up 
his  heel  against  me. 

19  Now  I  tell  you  before  it  come, 
that,  when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  may 
believe  that  I  am  he. 

20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
He  that  receiveth  whomsoever  I  send 
receiveth  me;  and  he  that  receiveth 
me  receiveth  him  that  sent  me. 

21  When  Jesus  had  thus  sc.id,  he 
was  troubled  in  spirit,  and  testified, 
and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  that  done  of  you  shall  betray 
me. 

22  Then  the  disciples  looked  one 
on  another,  doubting  of  whom  he 
spake. 

23  Now  there  was  leaning  on  Je- 
sus' bosom  one  of  his  disciples,  whom 
Jesus  loved. 

24  Simon  Peter  therefore  beckoned 
to  him,  that  he  should  ask  who  it 
should  be  of  whom  he  spake. 

25  He  then  lying  on  Jesus'  breast 
saith  unto  him,  Lord,  who  is  it? 

26  Jesus  answered,  He  it  is,  to 
whom  I  shall  give  a  sop,  when  I  have 
dipped   it.     And  when  he  had   dipped 

29  I  will  also  save  you  from  all 
your  uncleannesses:  and  I  will  call 
for  the  corn,  and  will  increase  it,  and 
lay  no  famine  upon  you.

the  son  of  Simon. 

27  And  after  the  sop  eSatan  en- 
tered into  him.  Then  said  Jesus  unto 
him,  That  thou  doest,  do  quickly. 

28  Now  no  man  at  the  table  knew 
for  what  intent  he  spake  this  unto 
him. 

29  For  some  of  them  thought,  be- 
cause Judas  had  the  bag,  that  Jesus 
had  said  unto  him,  Buy  those  things 
that  we  have  need  of  against  the 
feast;  or,  that  he  should  give  some- 
thing to  the  poor. 

30  He  then,  having  received  the 
sop,  went  immediately  out;  and  it 
was  night. 

31  Therefore,  when  he  was  gone 
out,  Jesus  said.  Now  is  the  Son  of 
man  glorified,  and  God  is  glorified  in 
him. 

32  If  God  be  glorified  in  him,  God 
shall  also  glorify  him  in  himself,  and 
shall  straightway  glorify  him.

I  am  with  you.  Ye  shall  fseek  me; 
and  as  I  said  unto  the  Jews,  Whith- 
er I  go,  ye  cannot  come;  so  now  I  say 
to  you. 

34  gA  new  commandment  I  give 
unto  you.  That  ye  love  one  another; 
as  I  have  loved  you,  that  ye  also  love 
one  another.

ye  are  my  disciples,  if  ye  have  love 
one  to  another.

not  follow  me  now;  but  thou  shalt 
follow  me  afterwards. 

37  Peter  said  unto  him,  Lord,  why 
cannot  I  follow  thee  now?  I  will  lay 
down  my  life  for  thy  sake. 

38  Jesus  answered  him,  Wilt  thou

verily,  I  say  unto  thee.  The  cock  shall 
not  crow,  till  thou  hast  denied  me

for  you,  I  will  come  again,  and  hre-

am,  there  ye  may  be  also.

.seen  him. 

.S  Philip  saith  unto  him,  Lord, 
shew  us  the  Father,  and  it  sufflceth 
us. 

9  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Have  I  been 
so  long  time  with  you,  and  yet  hast 
thou  not  known  me,  Philip?  he  that 
hath  seen  me  hath  seen  the  Father; 
and  how  sayest  thou  then,.  Shew  us 
the  Father? 

10  Believest  thou  not  that  I  am 
in  the  Father,  and  the  Father  in  me? 
the  words  that  I  speak  unto  you  I 
speak  not  of  myself:  but  the  Father 
that  dwelleth  in  rae,  he  doeth  the 
w'orks. 

11  Believe  me  that  I  am  in  the 
Father,  and  the  Father  in  me:  or  else 
believe  me  for  the  verj'  works'  sake. 

12  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
He  that  believeth  on  me,  the  works 
that  I  do  shall  he  do  also;  and  great- 
er works  than  these  shall  he  do;  be- 
cause I  go  unto  my  Father. 

13  And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in 
my  name,  that  will  I  do,  that  the 
Father  may  be  glorified  in  the  Son. 

14  If  ye  shall  ask  anything  in  my 
name,  I  will  do  it. 

15  If  ye  love  me,  keep  my  com- 
mandments. 

16  And  I  will  pray  the  Father,  and 
he  shall  give  you  lanother  Comforter, 
that  he  may  abide  with  you  for  ever; 

shall  return  unto  God  who  gave  it. 

PROVERBS  i:23  iTurn  you  at  my 
reproof:  behold,  I  will  pour  out  my 
spirit  unto  you,  I  will  make  known  my 
words  unto  you. 

ISAIAH  xliv:3  For  I  will  pour 
water  upon  him  that  is  thirsty,  and 
floods  upon  the  dry  ground:  I  will 
pour  my  Spirit  upon  thy  seed,  and  my 
blo.ssing  upon  thine  offspring: 

EZEKIEL  xxxvi:25  JThen  will  I 
sprinkle  clean  water  upon  you,  and  ye 
shall  be  clean:  from  all  your  filthiness. 
and  from  all  your  idols,  will  I  cleanse 
you. 

26  A  new  heart  also  will  I  give 
you,  and  a  new  spirit  will  I  put  with- 


17  Even  the  Spirit  of  truth;  whom 
the  world  cannot  receive,  because  it 
seeth  him  not,  neither  knoweth  him: 
but  ye  know  him;  for  he  dwelleth 
with  you,  and  Jshall  be  in  you. 

18  I  will  not  leave  you  comfortless: 
I  will  come  to  you. 

19  Yet  a  little  while,  and  the  world 
seeth  me  no  more;  but  ye  see  me: 
because  I  live,  ye  shall  live  also. 

20  At  that  day  ye  shall  know  that 
I  am  in  my  Father,  and  ye  in  me,  and 
I  in  you. 

21  He  that  hath  my  command- 
ments, and  keepeth  them,  he  it  is 
that  loveth  me:  and  he  that  loveth  me 
shall  be  loved  of  my  Father,  and  I 
will  love  him,  and  will  manifest  my- 
self to  him. 

22  Judas  saith  unto  him,  not  Is- 
cariot.  Lord,  how  is  it  that  thou  wilt 
manifest  thyself  unto  us,  and  not  un- 
to the  world? 

23  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  If  a  man  love  me,  he  will  keep 
my  words:  and  my  Father  will  love 
him,  and  kwe  will  come  unto  him, 
and  make  our  abode  with  him. 

24  He  that  loveth  me  not  keepeth 
not  my  sayings:  and  the  word  which 
ye  hear  is  not  mine,  but  the  Father's 
which  sent  me. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  un- 
to you,  being  yet  present  with  you. 

in  you:  and  I  will  take  away  the  stony 
heart  out  of  your  flesh,  and  I  will  give 
you  a  heart  of  flesh. 

27  And  I  will  put  my  Spirit  with- 
in you,  and  cause  you  to  walk  in  my 
statutes,  and  ye  shall  keep  my  judg- 
ments, and  do  them. 

PSALM  XCI:1  kHe  that  dwelleth 
in  the  secret  place  of  the  Most  High 
shall  abide  under  the  shadow  of  the 
Almighty. 

2  I  will  say  of  the  Lord,  He  is  my 
refuge  and  my  fortress:  my  God;  in 
him  will  I  trust. 

3  Surely  he  shall  deliver  thee  from 
the  snare  of  the  fowler,  and  from  the 
noisome  pestilence.

Jesus  the  True  Vine. 


26  But  the  Comforter,  which  is  the 
IHoIy  Ghost,  whom  the  Father  will 
send  in  my  name,  he  shall  teach  you 
all  things,  and  bring  all  things  to 
your  remembrance,  whatsoever  I  have 
said  unto  you. 

27  mPeace  I  leave  with  you,  my 
peace  I  give  unto  you:  not  as  the 
world  giveth,  give  I  unto  you.  Let 
not  your  heart  be  troubled,  neither  let 
it  be  afraid. 

28  Ye  have  heard  how  I  said  unto 
you,  I  go  away,  and  come  again  unto 
you.  If  ye  loved  me,  ye  would  rejoice, 
because  I  said,  I  go  unto  the  Father: 
for  my  Father  is  greater  than  I. 

29  And  now  I  have  told  you  before 
it  come  to  pass,  that,  when  it  is  come 
to  pass,  ye  might  believe. 

30  Hereafter  I  will  not  talk  much 
with  you:  for  nthe  prince  of  this 
world  cometh,  and  hath  nothing  in 
me., 

PROVERBS  1:23  H  will  pour  out 
my  Spirit  unto  you,  I  will  make 
known  my  words  unto  you. 

JOEL  ii:28  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  afterward,  that  I  will  pour  out 
my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh;  and  your 
sons  and  your  daughters  shall  pro- 
phesy, your  old  men  shall  dream 
dreams,  your  young  men  shall  see  vis- 
ions: 

29  And  also  upon  the  servants 
and  upon  the  handmaids  in  those  days 
will  I  pour  out  my  Spirit. 

PSALM  xxix:ll  mThe  Lord  will 
give  strength  unto  his  people;  the 
Lord  will  bless  his  people  with  peace. 

PSALM  xxxvii:ll  But  the  meek 
shall  inherit  the  earth;  and  shall  de- 
light themselves  in  the  abundance  of 
peace. 

PSALM  cxix:165  Great  peace  have 
they  which  love  thy  law:  and  nothing 
shall  offend  them. 

ISAIAH  xxvi:3  Thou  wilt  keep  him 
in  perfect  peace,  whose  mind  is  stayed 
on  thee:    because  he  trusteth  in  thee. 

EZEKIEL  vii:27  nThe  king  shall 
mourn,  and  the  prince  shall  be  clothed 
with  desolation,  and  the  hands  of  the 
people  of  the  land  shall  be  troubled: 


31     But    that    the  world  may  know 

that    I    love    the    Father;    and  as  the 

Father    gave    me  commandment,  even 

so  I  do.     Arise,  let  us  go  hence.

2  Every  branch  in  me  that  bearetli 
not  fruit  he  taketh  away:  and  every 
branch  that  beareth  fruit,  he  purgeth 
it,  that  it  may  bring  forth  more  fruit.

word  which  I  have  spoken  unto  you. 

4  Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  Aa 
the  branch  cannot  bear  fruit  of  itself, 
except  it  abide  in  the  vine;  no  more 
can  ye,  except  ye  abide  in  me. 

5  I  am  the  vine,  ye  are  the 
branches.  He  that  abideth  in  me, 
and  I  in  him,  the  same  bringeth  forth 
amuch   fruit;    for  without  me   ye   can

against  Daniel  concerning  the  king- 
dom; but  they  could  find  none  occa- 
sion nor  fault;  forasmuch  as  he  was

28  My  mercy  will  I  keep  for  him 
for  evermore,  and  my  covenant  shall

30  If  his  children  forsake  my  law, 
and  walk  not  in  my  judgments; 

31  If  they  break  my  statutes,  and 
keep  not  my  commandments; 

32  Then  will  I  visit  their  trans- 
gression with  the  rod,  and  their  ini- 
quity with  stripes. 

33  Nevertheless  thy  lovingkindness 
will  I  not  utterly  take  from  him,  nor 
suffer  my  faithfulness  to  fail. 

34  My  covenant  will  I  not  break,

ST.  JOHN  XV. 


to  Love  One  Anotlier. 


12  This  is  my  commandment,  That 
ye  love  one  another,  as  I  have  loved 
you. 

13  Greater  love  hath  no  man  than 
this,  that  a  man  lay  down  his  life  for 
his  friends. 

14  Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do 
whatsoever  I  command  you. 

15  Henceforth  I  call  you  not 
servants;  for  the  servant  knoweth  not 
what  his  lord  doeth:  but  I  have  called 
you  friends;  gfor  all  things  that  I 
have  heard  of  my  Father  I  have  made 
known  unto  you. 

16  Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  bi 
have  chosen  you,  and  ordained  you, 
that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth 
fruit,  and  that  your  fruit  should  re- 
main; that  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  of 
the  Father  in  my  name,  he  may  give 
it  you. 

17  These  things  I  command  you, 
that  ye  love  one  another. 

18  If  the  world  hate  you,  ye  know 
that  it  hated  me  before  it  hated  you. 

19  '  If  ye  were  of  the  world,  the 
world  would  love  his  own;  but  be- 
cause ye  are  not  of  the  world,  but  I 
have  chosen  you  out  of  the  world, 
therefore  the  world  hateth  you.

18  Seeing  that  Abraham  shall  sure- 
ly become  a  great  and  mighty  nation, 
and  all  the  nations  of  the  earth  shall 
be  blessed  in  him? 

DEUTERONOMY  vii:7  hThe  Lord 
did  not  set  his  love  upon  you,  nor 
choose  you,  because  ye  were  more  in 
number  than  any  people;  for  ye  were 
the  fewest  of  all  people: 

8  But  because  the  Lord  loved  you 
and  because  he  would  keep  the  oath 
which  he  had  sworn  unto  your  fath- 
ers, hath  the  Lord  brought  you  out 
with  a  mighty  hand,  and  redeemed  you 
out  of  the  house  of  bondmen,  from  the 
hand  of  Pharaoh  king  of  Egypt. 

EZEKIEL  iii:7  iBut  the  house  of 
Israel  will  not  hearken  unto  thee;  for 


20  Remember  the  word  that  I  said 
unto  you.  The  servant  is  not  greater 
than  his  lord.  If  they  have  persecuted 
me,  they  will  also  persecute  you;  iif 
they  have  kept  my  saying,  they  will 
keep  yours  also. 

21  But  all  these  things  will  they 
do  unto  you  for  my  name's  sake,  be- 
cause they  know  not  him  that  sent 
me. 

22  If  I  had  not  come  and  spoken 
unto  them  they  had  not  had  sin;  but 
now  they  have  no  cloak  for  their  sin. 

23  He  that  hateth  me  hateth  my 
Father  also. 

24  If  I  had  not  done  among  them 
the  works  which  none  other  man  did, 
they  had  not  had  sin:  but  now  have 
they  both  seen  and  jhated  both  m© 
and  my  Father. 

25  But  this  Cometh  to  pass,  that 
the  word  might  be  fulfilled  that  is 
written  in  their  law,  kThey  hated  me 
without  a  cause. 

26  But  when  the  Comforter  is  come, 
whom  I  will  send  unto  you  from  the 
Father,  even  the  Spirit  of  truth,  which 
proceedeth  from  the  Father,  he  shall 
testify  of  me: 

27  And  ye  also  shall  bear  witness,

hardhearted.

ground:  I  will  pour  my  Spirit  upon 
thy  seed,  and  my  blessing  upon  thine 
offspring: 

D.\NIEL  vi:3  Then  this  Daniel 
was  preferred  above  the  presidents 
and  princes,  because  an  excellent  spir- 
it was  in  him;  and  the  king  thought 
to  set  him  over  the  whole  realm. 


S  And  when  he  is  come,  he  will  re- 
prove the  world  of  sin,  and  of  right- 
eousness, and  of  judgment" 

9  Of  sin,  because  they  believe  not 
on  me; 

10  Of  righteousness,  because  I  go  to 
my  Father,  and  ye  see  me  no  more; 

11  Of  judgment,  because  the  prince 
of  this  world  is  judged. 

12  I  have  yet  many  things  to  say 
unto  you,  but  ye  cannot  bear  them 
now. 

13  Howbeit  when  he,  athe  Spirit  of 
truth,  is  come,  he  will  guide  you  into 
all  truth:  for  he  shall  not  speak  of 
himself;  but  whatsoever  he  shall  hear, 
that  shall  he  speak:  and  he  will  shew 
you  things  to  come. 

14  He  shall  glorify  me:  for  he  shall 
receive  of  mine,  and  shall  shew  it  un- 
to you. 

15  All  things  that  the  Father  hath 
are  mine:  therefore  said  I,  that  he 
shall  take  of  mine,  and  shall  shew  it 
unto  you. 

16  bA  little  while,  and  ye  shall  not 
see  me:  and  again,  a  ciittle  while,  and 
ye  shall  see  me,  because  I  go  to  the 
Father. 

17  Then  said  some  of  his  disciples 
among  themselves.  What  is  this  that 
he  saith  unto  us,  A  little  while,  and 

ISAIAH  xlii:4  He  [Christ]  shall 
not  fail  nor  be  discouraged,  till  he  have 
set  judgment  in  the  earth:  and  the  isles 
.shall  wait  for  his  law. 

DANIEL  ix:26  bAnd  after  three- 
score and  two  weeks  shall  Messiah  be 
cut  off,  but  not  for  himself: 

ISAIAH  xxxiii:  17  cThine  eyes  shall 
see  the  King  in  his  beauty;  they  shall 
behold  the  land  that  is  very  far  off. 

ZEPHAXIAH  iii:16  In  that  day  it

not:  and  to  Zion,  Let  not  thine  hands

17  The  Lord  thy  God  in  the  midst 
of  thee  is  mighty;  he  will  save,  he  will 
rejoice  over  thee  with  joy;  he  will 
rest  in  hi.*  love,  he  will  joy  over  thee 
with  singing.

ye  shall  not  see  me:  and  again,  a  lit-

Because  I  go  to  the  Father? 

y8  They  said  therefore,  What  is 
this  that  he  saith,  A  little  while?  we 
cannot  tell  what  he  saith. 

19  Now  Jesus  knew  that  they  were 
desirous  to  ask  him,  and  said  unto 
them.  Do  ye  inquire  among  yourselves 
of  that  I  said,  A  little  while,  and  ye 
shall  not  see  me:  and  again,  a  little 
while,  and  ye  shall  see  me? 

20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
That  dye  shall  weep  and  lament,  but 
the  world  shall  rejoice;  and  ye  shall 
be  sorrowful,  but  your  sorrow  shall 
be  turned  into  joy. 

21  eA  woman  when  she  is  in  trav- 
ail hath  sorrow,  because  her  hour  is 
come:  but  as  soon  as  she  is  delivered 
of  the  child,  she  remembereth  no  more 
the  anguish,  for  joy  that  a  man  is 
born  into  the  world. 

22  And  ye  now  therefore  have  sor- 
row: but  I  will  see  you  again,  and 
fyour  heart  shall  rejoice,  and  your  joy 
no  man  taketh  from  you. 

23  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  ask  me 
nothing.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  Whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  the 
Father  in  my  name,  he  will  give  it 
you. 

24  Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing 
in  my  name:  ask,  and  ye  shall  receive, 

ISAIAH  lxi:3  dTo  appoint  unto 
them  that  mourn  in  Zion,  to  giv-e  un-

for  mourning,  the  garment  of  praise 
for  the  spirit  of  heaviness;  that  they 
might  be  called  Trees  of  righteousness, 
The  planting  of  the  Lord,  that  he 
might  be  glorified. 

ISAIAH  xxvi:17  eLike  as  a  woman 
with  child,  that  draweth  near  the  time 
of  her  delivery,  is  in  pain,  and  crieth 
out  in  her  pangs;  so  have  we  been  in 
thy  sight.  O  Lord. 

PSALM  xvi:  11  fThou  wilt  shew  me

are  pleasures  for  evermore. 


that  your  joy  may  be  full. 

25  These  things  have  I  spoken  un- 
to you  in  proverbs:  but  the  time  Com- 
eth, when  I  shall  no  more  speak  unto 
you  in  proverbs,  but  I  shall  shew  you 
plainly  of  the  Father. 

26  At  that  day  ye  shall  ask  in  my 
name:  and  I  say  not  unto  you,  that  1 
will  pray  the  Father  for  you: 

27  For  the  Father  himself  loveth 
you,  because  ye  have  loved  me,  and 
have  believed  that  I  came  out  from 
God. 

28  I  came  forth  from  the  Father, 
and  am  come  into  the  world:  again,  1 
leave  the  world,  and  go  to  the  Father. 

29  His  disciples  said  unto  him,  Lo, 
now  speakest  thou  plainly,  and  speak- 
est  no  proverb. 

30  Now  are  we  sure  that  thou  know- 
est  all  things,  and  needest  not  that 
any  man  should  ask  thee:  by  this  we 
believe  that  thou  camest  forth  from 
God. 

31  Jesus  answered  them,  Do  ye  now 
believe? 

32  Behold,  the  hour  cometh,  yea, 
is  now  come,  that  gye  shall  be  scat- 
tered, every  man  to  his  own,  and  shall 
leave  me  alone:  and  yet  I  am  not 
alone,  because  the  Father  is  with  me. 

33  These  things  I  have  spoken  un- 
to you,  that  in  me  ye  might  hhave 
peace.     In    the    world    ye    shall  have

Christ  and  the  Father,  and  prayer  for  his  dis-

be  with  hini  in  heaven. 

1  These  words  spake  Jesus,  and 
lifted  up  his  eyes  to  heaven,  and  said. 
Father,  the  hour  is  come;  glorify  thy 
Son,  that  thy  Son  also  may  glorify 
thee: 

2  aAs  thou  hast  given  him  power 
over  all  flesh,  that  he  should  give  eter- 
nal life  to  as  many  as  thou  hast  given 
him. 

3  And  this  is  life  eternal,  that  they 
might  bknow  thee  the  only  true  God, 
and  Jesus  Christ,  whom  thou  hast  sent. 

4  I  have  glorified  thee  on  the 
earth:  I  have  finished  the  work  which 
thou   gavest   me  to  do. 

5  And  now,  0  Father,  glorify  thou 
me  with  thine  own  self  with  the  glory 
which  I  had  with  thee  before  the 
world  was. 

6  cl  have  manifested  thy  name  un- 
to the  men  which  thou  gavest  me  out 
of    the    world:    thine  they  were,  and 

saith  the  Lord  of  hosts:  smite  the 
Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall  be  scat- 
tered.

without  blemish  before  the  Lord.

therein.

[Jesus]  is  born,  unto  us  a  son  is  given:

Wonderful,  Counsellor,  tne  mighty 
God.  The  everlasting  Father,  The 
Prince  of  Peace. 

ISAIAH    xxvi:12       Lord,    thou    wilt

kept  my  word. 

7  Now  they  have  known  that  all 
things  whatsoever  thou  hast  given  me 
are  of  thee. 

8  For  I  have  given  unto  them  the 
words  which  thou  gavest  me;  and  they 
have  received  them,  and  have  known 
surely  that  I  came  out  from  thee,  and 
they  have  believed  that  thou  didst  send 
me. 

9  I  pray  for  them:  I  pray  not  for 
the  world,  but  for  them  which  thou 
hast  given  me;  for  they  are  thine. 

10  And  all  mine  are  thine,  and 
thine  are  mine;  and  I  am  glorified  in 
them. 

11  And  now  I  am  no  more  in  the 
world,  but  these  are  in  the  world,  and 
I  come  to  thee.  Holy  Father,  keep 
through  thine  own  name  those  whom 
thou  hast  given  me,  that  they  may  be 
one,  as  we  are. 

12  While  I  was  with  them  in  the 
Avorld,  I  kept  them  in  thy  name:  those 
that  thou  gavest  me  I  have  kept,  and 
none  of  them  is  lost,  but  the  dson  of 
perdition;  that  the  Scripture  might  be 
fulfilled. 

ordain  peace  for  us:  for  thou  also  hast 
wrought  all  our  works  in  us.

dominion  is  an  everlasting  dominion, 
which  shall  not  pass  away,  and  his 
kingdom  that  which  shall  not  be  de- 
stroyed. 

ISAIAH  liii:ll  bHe  [Christ]  shall 
see  of  the  travail  of  his  soul,  and  shall 
I)e  satisfied:  by  his  knowledge  shall  my 
righteous  servant  justify  many;  for 
he  shall  bear  their  iniquities.

as  I  am  not  of  the  world. 

15  I  pray  not  that  thou  shouldest 
take  them  out  of  the  world,  but  that 
thou  shouldest  keep  them  from  the 
evil. 

16  They  are  not  of  the  world,  even

1  When  Jesus  had  spoken  these 
words,  he  went  forth  with  his  disciples 
over  the  abrook  Cedron,  where  was  a 
garden,  into  the  which  he  entered,  and 
his  disciples. 

2  And  Judas  also,  which  betrayed 
him,  knew  the  place:  for  Jesus  oft- 
times  resorted  thither  with  his  disci- 
ples. 

3  Judas  then,  having  received  a 
band  of  men  and  officers  from  the  chief 
priests  and  Pharisees,  cometh  thither 
with  lanterns  and  torches  and  weap- 
ons. 

4  Jesus  therefore,  knowing  all 
things  that  should  come  upon  him, 
went  forth,  and  said  unto  them.  Whom 
seek  ye? 

5  They  answered  him,  Jesus  of  Naz- 
areth. Jesus  saith  unto  them,  I  am 
he.  And  Judas  also,  which  betrayed 
him,   stood  with  them. 

6  As  soon  then  as  he  had  said  unto 
them,  I  am  he,  they  went  backward, 
and  fell  to  the  ground. 

7  Then  asked  he  them  again, 
Whom  seek  ye?  And  they  said,  Je- 
sus of  Nazareth. 

8  Jesus  answered,  I  have  told  you 
that  I  am  he:  if  therefore  ye  seek  me, 
let    these    go    their   way: 

9  That  the  saying  might  be  ful- 
filled, which  he  spake.  Of  them  which

country  wept  with  a  loud  voice,  and

Kidron,  and  all  the  people  passed  over. 


thou  gavest  me  have  I  lost  none. 

10  Then  Simon  Peter  having  a 
sword  drew  it,  and  smote  the  high 
priest's  servant,  and  cut  off  his  right 
ear.  The  servant's  name  was  Mal- 
chus. 

11  Then  said  Jesus  unto  Peter,  Put 
up  thy  sword  into  the  sheath:  the  bcup 
which  my  Father  hath  given  me,  shall 
I   not  drink  it? 

12  Then  the  band  and  the  captain 
and  officers  of  the  Jews  took  Jesus, 
and  bound  him. 

13  And  led  him  away  to  Annas 
first,  for  he  was  father  in  law  to  Caia- 
phas,  which  was  the  high  priest  that 
same  year. 

14  Now  Caiaphas  was  he,  which 
gave  counsel  to  the  Jews,  that  it  was 
expedient  that  one  man  should  die  for 
the  people. 

15  And  Simon  Peter  followed  Je- 
sus, and  so  did  another  disciple:  that 
disciple  was  known  unto  the  high 
priest,  and  went  in  with  Jesus  into  the 
palace  of  the  high  priest. 

16  But  Peter  stood  at  the  door  with- 
out. Then  went  out  that  other  dis- 
ciple, which  was  known  unto  the  high 
priest,  and  spake  unto  her  that  kept 
the   door,   and   brought   in  Peter. 

17  Then  saith  the  damsel  that  kept 
the  door  unto  Peter,  Art  not  thou  al- 
so one  of  this  man's  disciples?  He 
saith,  I  am  not. 

18  And  the  servants  and  officers 
stood  there,  who  had  made  a  fire  of 
coals,  for  it  was  cold:  and  they  warmed 
themselves:  and  Peter  stood  with 
them,  and  warmed  himself.

Peter  Denied  Christ. 


ST.   JOHN   XVIII. 


Jesus  Before  Pilate. 


20  Jesus  answered  him,  I  spake 
openly  to  the  world;  I  ever  taught  in 
the  synagogue,  and  in  the  temple, 
whither  the  Jews  always  resort;  and 
in    secret   have   I   said   nothing. 

21  Why  asketh  thou  me?  ask  them 
■which  heard  me,  what  I  have  said  un- 
to them:  behold,  they  know  what  I 
said. 

22  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
one  of  the  officers  which  stood  by 
cstruck  Jesus  with  the  palm  of  his 
hand,  saying,  Answerest  thou  the  high 
priest  so? 

23  Jesus  answered  him,  If  I  have 
spoken  evil,  bear  witness  of  the  evil: 
but  if  well,  why  smitest  thou  me? 

24  Now  Annas  had  sent  him  bound 
unto  Caiaphas  the  high  priest. 

25  And  Simon  Peter  stood  and 
warmed  himself.  They  said  therefore 
unto  him.  Art  not  thou  also  one  of  his 
disciples?  He  denied  it,  and  said,  I 
am  not. 

26  One  of  the  servants  of  the  high 
priest,  being  his  kinsman  whose  ear 
Peter  cut  off,  saith.  Did  not  I  see  thee 
in  the  garden  with  him? 

27  Peter  then  denied  again;  and 
Immediately  the  cock  crew. 

28  Then  led  they  Jesus  from  Caia- 
phas unto  the  hall  of  judgment:   and 

ISAIAH  1:6  cl  [Jesus]  gave  my 
back  to  the  smiters,  and  my  cheeks 
to  them  that  plucked  off  the  hair:  I 
hid  not  my  face  from  shame  and  spit- 
ting.

smote  Jeremiah  the  prophet,  and  put

the  house  of  the  Lord.

went  not  into  the  judgment  hall,  lest 
they  should  be  defiled;  but  that  they 
might  eat  dthe  passover. 

29  Pilate  then  went  out  unto  them, 
and  said,  What  accusation  bring  ye 
against  this  man? 

30  They  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  If  he  were  not  a  malefactor,  we 
would  not  have  delivered  him  up  un- 
to thee. 

31  Then  said  Pilate  unto  them. 
Take  ye  him,  and  judge  him  accord- 
ing to  your  law.  The  Jews  therefore 
said  unto  him.  It  is  not  lawful  for  us 
to  put  any  man  to  death: 

32  That  the  saying  of  Jesus  might 
be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake,  signify- 
ing what  death  he  should  die. 

33  Then  Pilate  entered  into  the 
judgment  hall  again,  and  called  Jesus, 
and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou  the  King 
of  the  Jews? 

34  Jesus  answered  him,  Sayest  thou 
this  thing  of  thyself,  or  did  others  tell 
it  thee  of  me? 

35  Pilate  answered.  Am  I  a  Jew? 
Thine  own  nation  and  the  chief  priests 
have  delivered  thee  unto  me:  what 
hast  thou  done? 

36  Jesus  answered,  eMy  kingdom  is 
not  of  this  world:  if  my  kingdom  were

choose  to  place  his  name  there.

of  this  world,  then  wuiikl  my  servants 
fight,  that  I  should  not  be  delivered 
to  the  Jews:  but  now  is  ray  kingdom 
not   from   hence. 

37  Pilate  therefore  said  unto  him, 
Art  thou  a  king  then?  Jesus  answered. 
Thou  sayest  that  fl  am  a  king.  To 
this  end  was  I  born,  and  for  this 
cause  came  I  into  the  world,  that  I 
should  bear  witness  unto  the  truth. 
Every  one  that  is  of  the  truth  heareth 
my  voice. 

38  Pilate  saith  unto  him,  eWhat  is 
truth?  And  when  he  had  said  this, 
he  went  out  again  unto  the  Jews,  and 
saith  unto  them,  I  find  in  him  no  fault 
at  all. 

39  But  ye  have  a  custom,  that  I 
should  release  unto  you  one  at  the 
passover:  will  ye  therefore  that  I  re- 
lease unto  you  the  King  of  the  Jews? 

40  Then  cried  they  all  again,  say- 
ing. Not  this  man,  but  Barabbas.  Now 
Barabbas  was  a  robber.

was  pierced.  38  He  was  buried  by  Joseph  and 
Nicodemus. 

ders!  his  kingdom  is  an  everlasting 
kingdom,  and  his  dominion  is  from 
generation  to  generation.

thy  God  from  the  land  of  Egypt,  and 
thou  shalt  know  no  god  but  me:  for 
there  is  no  saviour  beside  me. 

10  I  will  be  thy  king:  where  is  any 
other  that  may  save  thee  in  all  thy 
cities?  and  thy  judges  of  whom  thou 
saidst,   Give  me  a   king  and   princes? 

DEUTERONOMY  xxxii:4  BHe  is 
the  Rock,  his  work  is  perfect:  for  all 
his  ways  are  judgment:  a  God  of  truth 
and  without  iniquity,  just  and  right  is 
he. 

PS.\LM  xcviii:3  He  hath  remem- 
bered his  mercy  and  his  truth  toward 
the  house  of  Israel:  all  the  ends  of  the 
earth  have  seen  the  salvation  of  our 
God. 


1  Then  nPilate  therefore  took  Je- 
sus,  and   scourged   him. 

2  And  the  soldiers  platted  a  crown 
of  thorns,  and  put  it  on  his  head,  and 
they  put  on  him  a  purple  robe, 

3  And  said.  Hail  King  of  the  Jews! 
and  they  smote  him  with  their  hands. 

4  Pilate  therefore  went  forth  again, 
and  saith  unto  them.  Behold,  I  bring 
him  forth  to  you,  that  ye  may  know 
that  I  find  no  fault  in  him. 

.5  Then  came  Jesus  forth,  wearing 
the  crown  of  thorns,  and  the  purple 
robe.  And  Pilate  saith  unto  them,  Be- 
hold the  man! 

6  When  the  chief  priests  therefore 
and  officers  saw  him,  they  cried  out, 
saying.  Crucify  him,  crucify  him.  Pi- 
late saith  unto  them,  Take  ye  him,  and 
crucify  him:  for  I  find  no  fault  in  him. 

7  The  Jews  answered  him,  bWe 
have  a  law,  and  by  our  law  he  ought 
to  die,  because  he  made  himself  the 
Son  of  God. 

8  When  Pilate  therefore  heard  that 
saying,  he  was  the  more  afraid; 

9  And  went  again  into  the  judg- 
ment    hall,     and     said     unto     Jesus, 

PSALM  c:5  For  the  Lord  is  good; 
his  mercy  is  everlasting;  ana  his  truth 
endureth  to  all  generations. 

PSALM  cxix:30  I  have  chosen  the 
way  of  truth:  thy  judgments  have  I 
laid  before  me. 

PSALM  cxix:160  Thy  word  is  true 
from  the  beginning:  and  every  one  of 
thy  righteous  judgments  endureth  for 
ever. 

ISAIAH  1:7  al  [Jesus]  gave  my 
back  to  the  smiters,  and  my  cheeks  to 
them  that  plucked  off  the  hair:  I  hid 
not  my  face  from  shame  and  spitting. 

LEVITICUS  xxiv:16  bAnd  he  that 
blasphemeth  the  name  of  the  Lord,  he 
shall  surely  be  put  to  death,  and  all

him:  as  well  the  stranger,  as  he  that

phemeth the  name  of  the  Lord,  shall 
be  put  to  death.

The  Jews  Insisted  that 


ST.  JOHN  XIX. 


Jesus  Should  he  Crucified. 


Whence  art  thou?    cBut    Jesus    gave 
him  no  answer. 

10  Then  saith  Pilate  unto  him, 
Speakest  thou  not  unto  me?  knowest 
thou  not  that  I  have  power  to  crucify 
thee,  and  have  power  to  release  thee? 

11  Jesus  answered.  Thou  couldest 
have  no  power  at  all  against  me,  ex- 
cept it  were  given  thee  from  above: 
therefore  he  that  delivered  me  unto 
thee  hath  the  greater  sin. 

12  And  from  thenceforth  Pilate 
sought  to  release  him:  but  the  Jews 
cried  out,  saying.  If  thou  let  this  man 
go,  thou  art  not  Caesar's  friend:  who- 
soever maketh  himself  a  king  speak- 
eth  against  Caesar. 

13  When  Pilate  therefore  heard 
that  saying,  he  brought  Jesus  forth, 
and  sat  down  in  the  judgment  seat  in 
a  place  that  is  called  the  Pavement, 
but  in  the  Hebrew,  Gabbatha. 

14  And  it  was  the  preparation  of 
the  passover,  and  about  the  sixth  hour: 
and  he  saith  unto  the  Jews,  Behold 
your  King! 

15  But  they  cried  out,  Away  with 
him,  away  with  him,  crucify  him. 
Pilate  saith  unto  them,  Shall  I  crucify 
your  King?  The  chief  priests  answered, 
dWe  have  no  king  but  Caesar. 

16  Then  delivered  he  him  there- 
fore unto  them  to  be  crucified.  And 
they  took  Jesus  and  led  him  away. 

17  And  he  bearing  his  cross  ewent 
forth  into  a  place  called  the  place  of 
a  skull,  which  is  called  in  the  Hebrew 
Golgotha: 

pressed,  and  he  was  afilicted,  yet  he 
opened  not  his  mouth:  he  is  brought 
as  a  lamb  to  the  slaughter,  and  as  a 
sheep  before  her  shearers  is  dumb,  so 
he  openeth  not  his  mouth. 
'  GENESIS  xlix:10  dThe  scepter 
shall  not  depart  from  Judah,  nor  a 
lawgiver  from  between  his  feet,  until 
Shiloh  [Christ]  come;  and  unto  him 
shall  the  gathering  of  the  people  be. 

NUMBERS  xv:36  eAnd  all  the  con- 
gregation    brought  him  [the  Sabbath 


18  fWhere  they  crucified  him,  and 
two  others  with  him,  on  either  side 
one,  and  Jesus  in  the  midst. 

19  And  Pilate  wrote  a  title,  and  put 
it  on  the  cross.  And  the  writing  was, 
JESUS  OF  NAZARETH  THE  KING 
OF  THE  JEWS. 

20  This  title  then  read  many  of  the 
Jews;  for  the  place  where  Jesus  was 
crucified  was  nigh  to  the  city:  and  it 
was  written  in  Hebrew,  and  Greek,  and 
Latin. 

21  Then  said  the  chief  priests  of 
the  Jews  to  Pilate,  Write  not.  The 
King  of  the  Jews;  but  that  he  said,  I 
am   King  of  the   Jews. 

22  Pilate  answered.  What  I  have 
written   I   have  written. 

23  Then  the  soldiers,  when  they  had 
crucified  Jesus,  took  his  garments,  and 
made  four  parts,  to  every  soldier  a 
part;  and  also  his  coat:  now  the  coat 
was  without  seam,  woven  from  the 
top  throughout. 

24  gThey  said  therefore  among 
themselves.  Let  us  not  rend  it,  but 
cast  lots  for  it,  whose  it  shall  be:  that 
the  Scriptures  might  be  fulfilled,  which 
saith,  They  parted  my  raiment  among 
them,  and  for  my  vesture  they  did  cast 
lots.  These  things  therefore  the  sol- 
diers did. 

25  Now  there  stood  by  the  cross 
of  Jesus  his  mother,  and  his  mother's 
sister,  Mary  the  wife  of  Cleophas,  and 
Mary  Magdalene.

mother,  and  the  disciple  standing  by,

stoned  him  with  stones,  and  he  died;

vide him  [Christ]  a  portion  with  the 
great,  and  he  shall  divide  the  spoil 
with  the  strong;  because  he  hath 
poured  out  his  soul  unto  death:  and 
he  was  numbered  with  the  transgress- 
ors; and  he  bare  the  sin  of  many  and 
made  intercession  for  the  transgress-

whom  he     loved,    he    saith     unto    his 
mother,    Woman,    behold    thy    son! 

27  Then  saith  he  to  the  disciple. 
Behold  thy  mother!  And  from  that 
hour  that  disciple  took  her  unto  his 
own  home. 

28  After  this,  Jesus  knowing  that 
hall  things  were  now  accomplished, 
that  the  Scriptures  might  be  fulfilled, 
saith,  II  thirst. 

29  Now  there  was  set  a  vessel  full 
of  vinegar:  and  they  filled  a  sponge 
with  vinegar,  and  put  it  upon  hyssop, 
and  put  it  to  his  mouth. 

30  When  Jesus  therefore  had  re- 
ceived the  vinegar,  he  said,  It  is  fin- 
ished: and  he  bowed  his  head,  and 
gave  up  the  ghost. 

31  The  Jews  therefore,  because  it 
was  the  preparation,  that  the  bodies 
should  not  remain  upon  the  cross  on 
the  Sabbath  day,  (for  that  sabbath  day 
was  a  Jhigh  day,)  besought  Pilate  that 

PSALM  xxii:18  gThey  part  my 
[Christ's]  garments  among  them,  and 
cast    lots    upon    my   vesture.

his   Anointed,   saying,

der, and  cast  away  their  cords  from 
us. 

PSALM  lxix:21  iThey  gave  me  also 
gall  for  my  meat:  and  in  my  thirst 
they  gave  me  vinegar  to  drink. 

EXODUS  xii:3  jSpeak  ye  unto  all 
the  congregation  of  Israel,  saying.  In 
the  tenth  day  of  this  month  they  shall 
take  to  them  every  man  a  lamb,  ac- 
cording to  the  house  of  their  fathers, 
a  lamb  for  a  house: 

6  And  ye  shall  keep  it  up  until  the 
fourteenth  day  of  the  same  month: 
and  the  whole  assembly  of  the  con- 
gregation of  Israel  shall  kill  it  in  the 
evening.

and  strike  it  upon  the  two  side  posts 
and   on   the   upper  door   post  of  the

32  Then  came  the  soldiers,  and 
brake  the  legs  of  the  first,  and  of  the 
other  which  was  crucified  with  him. 

33  But  when  they  came  to  Jesus, 
and  saw  that  he  was  dead  already,  they 
brake   not   his   legs: 

34  But  one  of  the  soldiers  with  a 
spear  pierced  his  side,  and  forthwith 
kcame  there  out  blood  and  water.

Pilate  that  he  might  take  away  the

leave.  He  came  therefore,  and  took 
the  body  of  Jesus.

(which  at  the  first  came  to  Jesus  by 
night,)  and  brought  a  nmixture  of 
myrrh  and  aloes,  about  a  hundred 
pound  weight.

sus, and  wound  it  in  linen  clothes  with 
the  spices,  as  the  manner  of  the  Jews 
is  to  bury. 

41  Now  in  the  place  where  he  was 
crucified  there  was  a  garden;  and  in 
the  garden  a  new  sepulchre,  wherein 
was  never  man  yet  laid.

chre weeping,  she  saw  two  angels,  and  turning 
she  saw  Jesus.  19  Jesus  appeared  to  the  disci- 
ples in  the  evening,  but  Thomas  not  being  pre-

with  the  disciples  again.

2  Then  she  runneth,  and  cometh  to 
Simon  Peter,  and  to  the  other  disciple, 
whom  Jesus  loved,  and  saith  unto 
them,  They  have  taken  away  the  Lord 
out  of  the  sepulchre,  and  we  know 
not  where  they  have  laid  him. 

3  Peter  therefore  went  forth,  and 
that  other  disciple,  and  came  to  the 
sepulchre. 

4  So  they  ran  both  together:  and 
the  other  disciple  did  outrun  Peter, 
and  came  first  to  the  sepulchre. 

5  And  he  stooping  down,  and  look- 
ing in,  saw  the  linen  clothes  lying; 
yet   went  he   not   in. 

6  Then  cometh  Simon  Peter  follow- 
ing him,  and  went  into  the  sepulchre, 
and  seeth  the  linen  clothes  lie, 

7  And  the  napkin,  that  was  about 
his  head,  not  lying  with  the  linen 
clothes,  but  wrapped  together  in  a 
place  by  itself. 

8  Then  went  in  also  that  other  dis- 
ciple, which  came  first  to  the  sepulchre, 
and   he  saw,   and  believed. 

9  For  as  yet  they  knew  not  the 
aScripture,  that  he  must  rise  again 
from  the  dead. 

10  Then  the  disciples  went  away 
again  unto  their  own  home. 

11  But  Mary  stood  without  at  the 
sepulchre  weeping,  and  as  she  wept, 
she  stooped  down,  and  looked  into  the 
sepulchre, 

12  And  seeth  two  angels  in  white 

the  apothecaries'  art:  and  they  made 
a  very  great  burning  for  him.

ST.  JOHN  XX. 


Jesus  Met  the  Disciples 


sitting,  the  one  at  the  head,  and  the 
other  at  the  I'eet,  where  the  body  of 
Jesns  had  lain. 

13  And  they  say  unto  her,  Woman, 
why  weepest  thou?  She  saith  unto 
them,  Because  they  have  talten  away 
my  Lord,  and  I  know  not  where  they 
have  laid  him. 

14  And  when  she  had  thus  said, 
sho  turned  herself  back,  and  saw  Je- 
sus standing,  and  knew  not  tliat  it 
was  Jesus. 

15  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  Woman, 
why  weepest  thou?  whom  seekest 
thou?  She,  supposing  him  to  be  the 
gardener,  saith  unto  him.  Sir,  if  thou 
have  borne  him  hence,  tell  me  where 
thou  hast  laid  him,  and  I  will  take  him 
away. 

16  bjesus  saith  unto  her,  Mary.  She 
turned  herself,  and  saith  unto  him, 
Rabbonl;    which    is    to    say.    Master 

17  Jesus  saith  unto- her.  Touch  me 
not;  for  I  am  not  yet  ascended  to  my 
Father:  but  go  to  cmy  brethren,  and 
say  unto  them,  I  ascend  to  my  Fa- 
ther, and  your  Father,  and  to  my  God 
and   your   God. 

IS  Mary  Magdalene  came  and  told 
the  disciples  that  she  had  seen  the 
Lord,  and  that  he  had  spoken  these 
things  unto  her.

sembled for  fear  of  the  Jews,  came 
Jesus  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and 
saith  unto  them.  Peace  be  unto  you. 

20  And  when  he  had  so  said,  he 
shewed  unto  them  his  hands  and  his 
side.  Then  were  the  disciples  glad, 
when   they  saw  the  Lord. 

21  Then  said  Jesus  to  them  again, 
dPeace  be  unto  you:  as  my  Father 
hath  sent  me,  even  so  send  I  you. 

22  And  w'hen  he  had  said  this,  he 
breathed  on  them,  and  saith  unto 
them.  Receive  ye  the  Holy  Ghost: 

23  Whosesoever  sins  ye  remit,  they 
are  remitted  unto  them;  and  whoseso- 
ever sins  ye  retain,  they  are  retained. 

24  But  Thomas,  one  of  the  twelve, 
called  Didymus,  was  not  with  them 
when  Jesus  came. 

25  The  other  disciples  therefore  said 
unto  him.  We  have  seen  the  Lord. 
But  he  said  unto  them.  Except  I  shall 
see  in  his  hands  the  print  of  the  nails, 
and  put  my  finger  into  the  print  of 
the  nails,  and  thrust  my  hand  into 
his  side,  I  will  not  believe. 

26  And  after  eight  days  again  his 
disciples  were  within,  and  Thomas 
with  them:  then  came  Jesus,  the  doors 
being  shut,  and  stood  in  the  midst, 
and  said,  ePeace  be  unto  you. 

27  Then  saith  he  to  Thomas,  Reach 
hither  thy  finger,  and  behold  my 
hands;     fand    reach    hither  thy  hand,

faithless,  but  believing. 

28  And  Thomas  answered  and  said 
unto  him,  gMy  Lord  and  my  God. 

29  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  Thomas, 
because  thou  hast  seen  me,  thou  hast 
believed:  blessed  are  they  that  have 
not  seen,  and  yet  have  believed. 

30  And  many  other  signs  truly  did 
Jesus  in  the  presence  of  his  disciples, 
which  are  not  written  in  this  book: 

31  But  these  are  written,  that  ye 
might  believe  that  Jesus  is  the  Christ, 
the  Son  of  God;  and  that  believing  ye 
might  have  life  through  his  name. 

CHAPTER  XXI. 

Jesus  appeared  to  the  disciples  on  the  shore 
of  Tiberias.  5  He  gave  the  apostles  directions 
to  secure  a  multitude  of  fishes.  12  He  dined 
with  them.  15  He  commanded  Peter  to  feed  his 
sheep  and  lambs.  22  He  rebuked  Peter's  curi- 
osity concerning  John.    25  The  conclusion. 

1  After  these  things  Jesus  shewed 
himself  again  to  the  disciples  at  the 
sea  of  Tiberius;  and  on  this  wise 
shewed  he  himself. 

2  There  were  together  Simon  Pe- 
ter, and  Thomas  called  Didymus,  and 
Nathanael  of  Cana  in  Galilee,  and  the 
sons  of  Zebedee,  and  two  other  of  his 
disciples.

3  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  them,  I 
go  a  fishing.  They  say  unto  him.  We 
also  go  with  thee.  They  went  forth, 
and  entered  into  a  ship  immediately; 
and  that  night  they  caught  nothing. 

4  But  when  the  morning  was  now 
come,  Jesus  stood  on  the  shore;  but 
the  disciples  knew  not  that  it  was  Je- 
sus. 

5  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  them, 
Children,  have  ye  any  meat?  They 
answered  him,  No. 

6  And  he  said  unto  them,  Cast  the 
net  on  the  right  side  of  the  ship,  and 
ye  shall  find.  They  cast  therefore,  and 
now  they  were  not  able  to  draw  it  for 
the  multitude  of  fishes. 

7  Therefore  that  disciple  whom  aje- 
sus  loved  saith  unto  Peter,  It  is  the 
Lord.  Now  when  Simon  Peter  heard 
that  it  was  the  Lord,  he  girt  his  fish- 
er's coat  unto  him,  (for  he  was  naked,) 
and  did  cast  himself  into  the  sea. 

8  And  the  other  disciples  came  in 
a  little  ship,  (for  they  were  not  far 
from  land,  but  as  it  were  two  hundred 
cubits,)    dragging  the  net  with  fishes.

the  net  to  land  full  of  great  fishes,  a 
hundred  and  fifty  and  three:  and  for 
all  there  were  so  many,  yet  was  not 
the  net  broken.

20  Then  Peter,  turning  about,  seeth

at  supper,  and  said,  Lord,  which  is  hts

among  the  brethren,  that  that  disciple 
should  not  die:  yet  Jesus  said  not  un-

out  of  their  sight.

fastly toward  heaven  as  he  went  up, 
behold,  two  men  stood  by  them  in

of  Jesus,  and  with  his  brethren. 

15  And  in  those  days  Peter  stood 
up  in  the  midst  of  the  disciples,  and 
said,  (the  number  of  names  together 
were  about  a  hundred  and  twenty,) 

16  Men  and  brethren,  this  Scripture 
must  needs  have  been  fulfilled,  jwhich 
the  Holy  Ghost  by  the  mouth  of  David 
spake  before  concerning  Judas,  which 
was  guide  to  them  that  ktook  Jesus. 

17  For  he  was  numbered  with  us, 
and  had  obtained  part  of  this  minis- 
try. 

18  Now  this  man  purchased  a  field 
with  the  reward  of  iniquity;  and  ifall- 
ing  headlong,  he  burst  asunder  in  the 
midst,  and  all  his  bowels  gushed  out. 

19  And  it  was  known  unto  all  the 
dwellers  at  Jerusalem;  insomuch  as 
that  field  is  called,  in  their  proper 
tongue,  Aceldama,  that  is  to  say,  The 
field  of  blood. 

20  For  it  is  written  in  the  book  of 
Psalms,  mLet  his  habitation  be  deso- 

salem  on  the  east. 

PSALM  xli:9  :Yea,  mine  own  fa- 
miliar friend  [Judas],  in  whom  I 
[Jesus]  trusted,  which  did  eat  of  my 
bread,  hath  lifted  up  his  heel  against 
me.

them  that  plucked  off  the  hair:  I  hid 
not  my  face  from  shame  and  spitting. 

ISAIAH  liii:5  He  [Jesus],  was 
wounded  for  our  transgressions,  he 
Avas  bruised  for  our  iniquities:  the 
chastisement  of  our  peace  was  upon 
him;  and  with  his  stripes  we  are 
healed.

thou  hast  chosen,

are  full  of  new  wine.

eleven,  lifted  up  his  voice,  and  said 
unto  them.  Ye  men  of  Judaea,  and  all 
ye  that  dwell  at  Jerusalem,  be  this 
known  unto  you,  and  hearken  to  my 
words: 

15  For  these  are  not  drunken,  as 
ye  suppose,  seeing  it  is  but  the  third 
hour  of  the  day.

spoken  by  the  prophet  Joel; 

for  no  uncircumcised  person  shall  eat 
thereof.

stranger,  that  join  themselves  to  the 
Lord,  to  serve  him,  and  to  love  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  to  be  his  servants,

from  polluting  it,  and  taketh  hold  of 
my  covenant; 

7  Even  them  will  I  bring  to  my  holy 
mountain,  and  make  them  joyful  in  my 
house  of  prayer:  their  burnt  offerings 
and  their  sacrifices  shall  be  accepted

t  These  feasts  were  memorials  of  three  great 
historic  events. 

1.  In  th%  Passover  and  feast  of  unleavened 
Dread  the  Israelites  commemorated  their  deliv- 
erance from  Esiryrtian  bondage.  Christ  was  sac- 
rificed on  the  anniversary  of  this  feast,  and  be- 
came our  Passover. 

2.  In  the  Pentecost  or  feast  of  weeks  the 
Israelites  commemorated  the  giving  of  the 
law,  and  the  Holy  Spirit  poured  out  on  this 
day  which  put  the  law  in  their  minds  and 
hearts.  God  said  "I  will  put  my  law  in  their 
inward  parts,  and  write  it  in  their  hearts.' 
Jeremiah  xxxi:  33. 

3.  In  the  feast  of  tabernacles  they  commem- 
orated the  passag-e  from  Egypt  to  Canaan,  and 
in  it  we  are  reminded  of  our  transition  from 
the  bondage  of  sin  to  promised  salvation.

words;  Jesus  of  Nazareth,  a  man  ap- 
proved of  God  among  you  by  miracles 
and  wonders  and  signs,  which  God  did 
by  him  in  the  midst  of  you,  as  ye  your-

it  was  not  possible  that  he  should  be

26  Therefore  did  my  heart  rejoice, 
and  my  tongue  was  glad;  moreover  al- 
so my  flesh  shall  rest  in  hope: 

27  Because  hthou  wilt  not  leave  my 
soul  in  hell,  neither  wilt  thou  suffer 
thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

28  Thou  hast  made  known  to  me 
the  ways  of  life;  thou  shalt  make  me 
full  of  joy  with  thy  countenance. 

29  Men  and  brethren,  let  me  freely 
speak  unto  you  of  the  patriarch  iDavid, 
that  he  is  both  dead  and  buried,  and 
his  sepulchre  is  with  us  unto  this  day. 

30  Therefore  being  a  prophet,  jand 
knowing  that  God  hau  sworn  with  an 
oath  to  him,  that  of  the  fruit  of  his 
loins,  according  to  the  flesh,  he  would 
raise  up  Christ  to  sit  on  his  throne; 

31  He,  seeing  this  before,  spake  of 
the  resurrection  of  Christ,  kthat  his 
soul  was  not  left  in  hell,  neither  his 
flesh  did  see  corruption. 

32  This  Jesus  hath  God  raised  up, 
whereof  we  all  are  witnesses. 

33  Therefore  being  by  the  right 
hand  of  God  exalted,  and  having  re- 
ceived of  the  Father  the  promise  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  he  hath  shed  forth 
this,  which  ye  now  see  and  hear. 

34  For  David  is  not  ascended  into 
the  heavens:  but  he  saith  himself,  iThe 
Lord  said  unto  my  Lord,  Sit  thou  on 
my  right  hand, 

L  KINGS  ii:10  iSo  David  slept  with 
his  fathers,  and  was  buried  in  the  city 
of  David. 

II.  SAMUEL  vii:12  jAnd  when  thy 
[David's]  days  be  fulfilled,  and  thou 
shalt  sleep  with  thy  fathers,  I  will  set 
up  thy  seed  [Jesus]  after  thee,  which 
shall  proceed  out  of  thy  bowels,  and  I 
will  establish  his  kingdom. 

13  He  shall  build  a  house  for  my 
name,  and  I  will  stablish  the  throne  of 
his  kingdom  for  ever. 

PSALM  cxxxii:ll  The  Lord  hath 
sworn  in  truth  unto  David;  he  will  not 
turn  from  it;  Of  the  fruit  of  thy  body 
[Jesus]  will  I  set  upon  thy  throne. 

PSALM  xvi:10      kFor  thou  wilt  not 


35  Until  I  make  thy  foes  thy  foot- 
stool. 

36  Therefore  let  all  the  house  of  Is- 
rael know  assuredly,  that  God  hath 
made  that  same  Jesus,  whom  ye  have 
crucified,  both  Lord  and  Christ. 

37  Now  when  they  heard  this,  mthey 
were  pricked  in  their  heart,  and  said 
unto  Peter  and  to  the  rest  of  the  apos- 
tles, Men  and  brethren,  what  shall  we 
do? 

38  Then  Peter  said  unto  them.  Re- 
pent, and  be  baptized  every  one  of  you 
in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  for  the  re- 
mission of  sins,  and  ye  shall  receive 
the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

39  For  the  promise  is  unto  you,  and 
to  your  children,  and  to  all  that  are 
afar  off,  even  as  many  as  the  Lord  our 
God  shall  call. 

40  And  with  many  other  words  did 
he  testify  and  exhort,  saying.  Save 
yourselves  from  this  untoward  genera- 
tion. 

41  Then  they  that  gladly  received 
his  word  were  baptized:  and  the  same 
day  there  were  added  unto  them  about 
three  thousand  souls. 

42  And  they  continued  steadfastly 
in  the  apostles'  doctrine  and  fellow- 
ship, and  in  the  breaking  of  bread,  and 
in  prayers. 

43  And  fear  came  upon  every  soul: 

leave  my  [Christ's]  soul  in  hell;  neith- 
er wilt  thou  suffer  thine  Holy  One  to 
see  corruption. 

PSALM  CX:1  iThe  Lord  said  unto 
my  Lord  [Christ],  Sit  thou  at  my  right 
hand,  until  I  make  thine  enemies  thy 
footstool. 

ZECHARIAH  xii:10  mAnd  I  will 
pour  upon  the  house  of  David,  and  up- 
on the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem,  the 
spirit  of  grace  and  of  supplications: 
and  they  shall  look  upon  me  [Jesus] 
whom  they  have  pierced,  and  they  shall 
mourn  for  him,  as  one  mourneth  for 
his  only  son,  and  shall  be.  in  bitterness 
for  him,  as  one  that  is  in  bitterness  for 
his  firstborn.

and    many    wonders    and    signs    were 
done  by  the  apostles. 

44  And  all  that  believed  were  to- 
gether, and  had  all  thint?a  couimon; 

45  And  sold  their  possessions  and 
goods,  and  nparted  them  to  all  men,  as 
every  man  had  need. 

46  And  they,  continuing  daily  with 
one  accord  in  tlie  temple,  and  breaking 
bread  from  house  to  house,  did  eat 
their  meat  with  gladness  and  single- 
ness of  heart, 

47  Praising  God,  and  having  favour 
with  all  the  people.  And  the  Lord 
added  to  the  church  daily  such  a.s 
should  be  saved. 

CHAPTER  in. 

A  lame  man  who  liuil  never  walked  was 
hoalcil.  Peter  preached  Christ  to  the  ix'ople 
who  were  amazed  to  see  the  lame  man  made 
whole.     19  Peter  exhorts  the  people  to  repent. 

1  Now  Peter  and  John  went  up  to- 
gether into  the  temple  at  the  hour  of 
prayer,  abeing  the  ninth  hour. 

2  And  a  certain  man  lame  from  his 
mother's  womb  was  carried,  w'hom 
they  laid  daily  at  the  gate  of  the  tem- 
ple which  is  called  Beautiful,  to  ask 
alms  of  them  that  entered  into  the 
temple; 

3  Who,  seeing  Peter  and  John  about 
to  go  into  the  temple,  asked  an  alms. 

ISALVH  lviii:6  nLs  not  this  the  fast 
that  I  [the  Lord]  have  chosen?  to 
loose  the  bands  of  wickedness,  to  undo 
the  heavy  burdens,  and  to  let  the  op- 
pressed go  free,  and  that  ye  break  ev- 
ery yoke? 

7  Is  it  not  to  deal  thy  bread  to  the 
hungry,  and  that  thou  bring  the  poor 
that  are  cast  out  to  thy  house?  when 
thou  seest  the  naked,  that  thou  cover 
him;  and  that  thou  hide  not  thyself 
from  thine  own  flesh? 

PSALM  lv:17  aEvening,  and  morn- 
ing, and  at  noon,  will  1  pray,  and  cry 
aloud:  and  he  [God]  shall  hear  my 
voice. 

DANIEL  vi:7  All  the  presidents  of 
the  kingdom,  the  governors,  and  the 
princes,  the  counsellors,  and  the  cap- 
tains, have  consulted  together  to  es- 
tablish a  royal  statute,  and  to  make  a 


4  And  Peter,  fastening  his  eyes  up- 
on him  with  John,  said,  Look  on  us. 

5  And  he  gave  heed  unto  them,  ex- 
pecting to  receive  something  of  them. 

6  Then  Peter  said.  Silver  and  gold 
have  I  none;  but  such  as  I  have  give  I 
thee:  In  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  of 
Nazareth  rise  up  and  walk. 

7  And    he    took    him    by    the  right 
hand,    and    lifted  him  up:   and  imme- 
diately   his    feet    and  ankle  bones  re-- 
ceived  strength. 

8  And  he  bleaping  up  stood,  and 
walked,  and  entered  with  them  into 
the  temple,  walking,  and  leaping,  and 
praising  God. 

9  And  all  the  people  saw  him  walk- 
ing and  (praising  God: 

10  And  they  knew  that  it  was  he 
which  sat  for  alms  at  the  Beautiful 
gate  of  the  temple:  and  they  were  filled 
with  wonder  and  amazement  at  that 
which  had  happened  unto  him. 

11  And  as  the  lame  man  which  was 
healed  held  Peter  and  John,  all  the 
people  ran  together  unto  them  in  the 
porch  that  is  called  Solomon's,  greatly- 
wondering. 

12  And  when  Peter  saw  it,  he  an- 
swered unto  the  people,  Ye  men  of  Is- 

firm  decree,  that  whosoever  shall  ask  a 
petition  of  any  God  or  man  for  thirty 
days,  save  of  thee,  O  king,  he  shall  be 
cast  into  the  den  of  lions. 

10  Now  when  Daniel  knew  that  the 
writing  was  signed,  he  went  into  his 
house;  and,  his  windows  being  open  in 
his  chamber  toward  Jerusalem,  he 
kneeled  upon  his  knees  three  times  a 
day,  and  prayed,  and  gave  thanks  be- 
fore his  God,  as  he  did  aforetime. 

ISAIAH  XXXV :  6  bThen  shall  the 
lame  man  leap  as  a  hart,  and  the 
tongue  of  the  dumb  sing:  for  in  the 
wilderness  shall  waters  break  out,  and 
streams  in  the  desert. 

PSALM  XXXIV:  1  d  will  bless  the 
Lord  at  all  times:  his  praise  shall  con- 
tinually be  in  my  mouth. 

2  My  soul  shall  make  her  boast  in 
the  Lord:  the  humble  shall  hear  there-

rael,  why  marvel  ye  at  this?  or  why 
look  ye  so  earnestly  on  us,  as  though 
by  our  own  power  or  holiness  we  had 
made  this  man  to  walk? 

13  The  God  of  Abraham,  and  of 
Isaac,  and  of  Jacob,  the  God  of  our 
fathers,  hath  glorified  his  Son  Jesus; 
whom  ye  delivered  up,  and  denied  him 
in  the  presence  of  Pilate,  when  he  was 
determined  to  let  him  go. 

14  But  ye  denied  the  dHoly  One  and 
the  Just,  and  desired  a  murderer  to  be 
granted  unto  you; 

15  And  killed  the  ePrince  of  life, 
whom  God  hath  raised  from  the  dead; 
whereof  we  are  witnesses. 

16  And  his  name,  through  faith  in 
Ms  name,  hath  made  this  man  strong,

let  us  exalt  his  name  together. 

PSALM  xvi:10  dFor  thou  wilt  not 
leave  my  soul  in  hell;  neither  wilt  thou 
suffer  thine  Holy  One  [Jesus]  to  see 
corruption. 

PSALM  xvi:  11  eThou  wilt  shew  me 
the  path  of  life:  in  thy  presence  is  ful- 
ness of  joy;  at  thy  right  hand  there  are 
pleasures  for  evermore. 

PSALM  xxi:  4  He  asked  life  of  thee, 
and  thou  gavest  it  him,  even  length  of 
days  for  ever  and  ever. 

PSALM  XXVII  :1  The  Lord  is  my 
light  and  my  salvation;  whom  shall  I 
fear?  the  Lord  is  the  strength  of  my 
life;  of  whom  shall  I  be  afraid? 

PSALM  xxxvi:9  For  with  thee  is 
the  fountain  of  life:  in  thy  light  shall 
we  see  light. 

PSALM  cxxxiii:3  As  the  dew  of 
Hermon,  and  as  the  dew  that  descended 
upon  the  mountains  of  Zion:  for  there 
the  Lord  commanded  the  blessing,  even 
life  for  evermore. 

PSALM  xxii:16  fFor  dogs  have 
compassed  me  [Jesus] :  the  assembly 
of  the  wicked  have  inclosed  me:  they 
pierced  my  hands  and  my  feet. 

17  I  may  tell  all  my  bones:  they 
look  and  stare  upon  me. 


17  And  now,  brethren,  I  wot  that 
through  ignorance  ye  did  it,  as  did  al- 
so your  rulers. 

18  But  fthose  things,  which  God  be- 
fore had  shewed  by  the  mouth  of  all 
his  prophets,  that  Christ  should  suffer, 
he  hath  so  fulfilled. 

19  gRepent  ye  therefore,  and  be  con- 
verted, that  your  sins  may  be  blotted 
out,  when  the  times  of  refreshing  shall 
come  from  the  presence  of  the  Lord; 

20  And  he  shall  send  Jesus  Christ, 
which  before  was  preached  unto  you: 

21  Whom    the   heaven  must  receive 
until    the    times    of    restitution  of  all 
things,  which  God  hath  spoken  by  the 
mouth    of    all  his  holy  prophets  since  / 
the  world  began. 

22  For  Moses  truly  said  unto  the 
fathers,  hA  Prophet  shall  the  Lord  your 
God  raise  up  unto  you  of  your  breth- 
ren, like  unto  me;   him  shall  ye  hear 

18  They  part  my  garments  among 
them,  and  cast  lots  upon  my  vesture. 

ISAIAH  1:6  I  [Jesus]  gave  my  back 
to  the  smiters,  and  my  cheeks  to  them 
that  plucked  off  the  hair:  I  hid  not  my 
face  from  shame  and  spitting. 

ISAIAH       liii:5  [Christ]        was 

wounded  for  our  transgressions,  he 
was  bruised  for  our  iniquities:  the 
chastisement  of  our  peace  was  upon 
him;  and  with  his  stripes  we  are 
healed. 

DANIEL  ix:26  And  after  three- 
score and  two  weeks  shall  Messiah  be 
cut  off,  but  not  for  himself:  and  the 
people  of  the  prince  that  shall  come 
shall  destroy  the  city  and  the  sanctu- 
ary; and  the  end  thereof  shall  be  with 
a  flood,  and  unto  the  end  of  the  war 
desolations  are  determined. 

JOEL  ii:12  gTherefore  also  now, 
saith  the  Lord,  turn  ye  even  to  me  witn 
all  your  heart,  and  with  fasting,  and 
with  weeping,  and  with  mourning:

foretold  of  these  days. 

25  Ye  are  the  children  of  the  pro-

made  with  our  fathers,  saying  unto 
Abraham,  JAnd  in  thy  seed  shall  all 
the  kindreds  of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

26  Unto  you  first  God,  having  raised 
up  his  Son  Jesus,  sent  him  to  bless  you, 
in  turning  away  every  one  of  you  from 
his  iniquities. 

CHAPTER  IV. 

The  rulers  of  the  Jews  were  oCTended  at  Pe- 
ters  preachin»f  the  resurrection  through  Jesus. 
13  The  boldness  of  Peter  and  John  impressed 
the  rulers  that  they  hud  been  with  Jesus.  18 
The  at>ostles  were  conimuntled  to  teach  no 
more  in  the  name  of  Jesus,  but  they  gave  them 
to  understand  that  they  would  not  desist.  23 
The  aiMDstles  report  to  their  company  and  had  a 
wonderful  manifestation  of  the  divine  presence, 
and  their  preachint'  was  with  great  power. 

In  his  mouth;  and  he  shall  speak  unto 
them  all  that  I  shall  command  him. 

19  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
whosoever  will  not  hearken  unto  my 
words  which  he  shall  speak  in  my 
name,  I  will  require  it  of  him. 

PSALM  lxvi:18  Hf  I  regard  iniquity 
in  my  heart,  the  Lord  will  not  hear  me; 

ISAIAH  i:15  And  when  ye  spread 
forth  your  hands,  I  will  hide  mine  eyes 
from  you;  yea,  when  ye  make  many 
I)rayers,  I  will  not  hear:  your  hands 
are  full  of  blood. 

16  Wash  ye,  make  you  clean;  put 
away  the  evil  of  your  doings  from  be- 
fore mine  eyes;  cease  to  do  evil; 

17  Learn  to  do  well;  seek  judgment, 
relieve  the  oppressed,  judge  the  father- 
less, plead  for  the  widow. 

GENESIS  xii:3  JAnd  I  will  bless 
them  that  bless  thee  [Abraml  and 
curse  him  that  curseth  thee:  and  in 
thee  shall  all  families  of  the  earth  be 
blessed. 

GENESIS  xvlii:17  And  the  Lord 
said.  Shall  I  hide  from  Abraham  that 
thing  which  I  do; 


1  And  as  they  spake  unto  the  peo- 
ple, the  priests,  and  the  captain  of  the 
temple,  and  the  Sadducees,  came  upon 
them, 

2  aBcing  grieved  that  they  taught 
the  people,  and  preached  through  Jesus 
the  resurrection  from  the  dead. 

3  And  they  laid  hands  on  them,  and 
put  them  in  hold  unto  the  next  day: 
for  it  was  now  eventide. 

4  Howbeit  many  of  them  whicli 
heard  the  word  believed;  and  the  num- 
ber of  the  men  was  about  five  thous- 
and. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  mor- 
row, that  their  rulers,  and  elders,  and 
scribes, 

6  And  Annas  the  high  priest,  and 
Caiaphas,  and  John,  and  Alexander, 
and  as  many  as  were  of  the  kindred  of 
the  high  priest,  were  gathered  togeth- 
er at  Jerusalem. 

7  And  when  they  had  set  them  in. 
the  midst,  they  asked,  bBy  what  pow- 
er, or  by  what  name,  have  ye  done 
this? 

18  Seeing  that  Abraham  shall  surely 
become  a  great  and  mighty  nation,  and 
all  the  nations  of  the  earth  shall  be 
blessed  in  him? 

19  For  I  know  him,  that  he  will 
command  his  children  and  his  house- 
hold after  him,  and  they  shall  keep  the 
way  of  the  Lord,  to  do  justice  and  judg- 
ment; that  the  Lord  may  bring  upon 
Abraham  that  which  he  hath  spokea 
of  him. 

GENESIS  xxii:18  And  in  thy 
[Abraham's]  seed  shall  all  the  nations 
of  the  earth  be  blessed;  because  thou 
hast  obeyed  my  voice. 

GENESIS  xxvi:4  And  I  will  make 
thy  [Isaac's]  seed  to  multiply  as  the 
stars  of  heaven,  and  will  give  unto  thy 
seed  all  these  countries;  and  in  thy 
seed  [Jesus]  shall  all  the  nations  of 
the  earth  be  blessed: 

5  Because  that  Abraham  obeyed  my 
voice,  and  kept  my  charge,  my  com- 
mandments, my  statutes,  and  my  laws. 

GENESIS  xxviii:14  And  thy  [Ja- 
cob's] seed  shall  be  as  the  dust  of  the 
earth;  and  thou  shalt  spread  abroad  to

8  Then  Peter,  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost,  said  unto  them.  Ye  rulers  of  the 
people,  and  elders  of  Israel, 

9  If  we  this  day  be  examined  of  the 
good  deed  done  to  the  impotent  man, 
by  what  means  he  is  made  whole; 

10  Be  it  known  unto  you  all,  and  to 
all  the  people  of  Israel,  that  by  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Nazareth, 
whom  ye  crucified,  whom  God  raised 
from  the  dead,  even  by  him  doth  this 
man  stand  here  before  you  whole. 

11  This  is  cthe  stone  which  was  set 
at  nought  of  you  builders,  which  is  be- 
come the  head  of  the  corner. 

12  dNeither  is  there  salvation  in  any 
other:  for  there  is  none  other  name 
under  heaven  given  among  men, 
whereby  we  must  be  saved. 

13  Now  when  they  saw  the  ebold- 
ness  of  Peter  and  John,  and  perceived 
that  they  were  unlearned  and  ignorant 
men,  they  marvelled;  and  they  took 
knowledge  of  them,  that  they  had  been 
with  Jesus. 

14  And  beholding  the  man  which 
was  healed  standing  with  them,  they 
could  say  nothing  against  it.

north,  and  to  the  soutn:  and  in  thee 
and  in  thy  seed  [Jesus]  shall  all  the

NEHEMIAH  ii:10  aWhen  Sanbal- 
lat  the  Horonite,  and  Tobiah  the  serv- 
ant, the  Ammonite,  heard  of  it,  it 
grieved  them  exceedingly  that  there 
was  come  a  man  to  seek  the  welfare  of 
the  children  of  Israel. 

EXODUS  ii:14  b[A  Hebrew]  said. 
Who  made  thee  [Moses]  a  prince  and 
a  judge  over  us?  intendest  thou  to  kill 
me,  as  thou  killedst  the  Egyptian?  And 
Moses  feared,  and  said.  Surely  this 
thing  is  known. 

PSALM       cxviii:22  cThe      stone 

[Christ]  which  the  builders  refused  is 
become  the  head  stone  of  the  corner. 

23  This  is  the  Lord's  doing;  it  is 
marvellous  in  our  eyes. 

ISAIAH  xxviii:16  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  Behold,  I  lay  in  Zi- 
on  for  a  foundation  a  stone  [Jesus],  a 
tried    stone,    a  precious  corner  stone, 


15  But  when  they  had  commanded 
them  to  go  aside  out  of  the  council, 
they  conferred  among  themselves, 

16  Saying,  What  shall  we  do  to 
these  men?  for  that  indeed  a  notable 
miracle  hath  been  done  by  them  is 
manifest  to  all  them  that  dwell  in  Je- 
rusalem; and  we  cannot  deny  it. 

17  But  that  it  spread  no  further 
among  the  people,  let  us  straitly 
threaten  them,  that  they  speak  hence- 
forth to  no  man  in  this  name. 

18  And  they  called  them,  and  com- 
manded them  not  to  speak  at  all  nor 
teach  in  the  name  of  Jesus. 

19  But  Peter  and  John  answered 
and  said  unto  them,  Whether  it  be 
right  in  the  sight  of  God  to  hearken 
unto  you  more  than  unto  God,  judge 
ye. 

20  For  we  cannot  but  speak  the 
things  which  we  have  seen  and  heard. 

21  So  when  they  had  further  threat- 
ened them,  they  let  them  go,  finding 
nothing  how  they  might  punish  them, 
because  of  the  people:  for  fall  men 
glorified  God  for  that  which  was  done. 

22  For    the    man    was  above  forty 

a  sure  foundation:  he  that  believeth 
shall  not  make  haste. 

ISAIAH  xliii:ll  dl,  even  I,  am  the 
Lord;  and  beside  me  there  is  no  sav- 
ior. 

ISAIAH  xlix:26  And  I  will  feed 
them  that  oppress  thee  with  their  own 
flesh;  and  they  shall  be  drunken  with 
their  own  blood,  as  with  sweet  wine: 
and  all  flesh  shall  know  that  I  the  Lord 
am  thy  Savior  and  thy  Redeemer,  the 
Mighty  One  of  Jacob. 

PROVERBS  XXVIII  :1  The  wicked 
flee  when  no  man  pursueth:  but  the 
righteous  are  bold  as  a  lion. 

ISAIAH  ii:3  fAnd  many  people 
shall  go  and  say,  Come  ye,  and  let  us 
go  up  to  the  mountain  of  the  Lord,  to 
the  house  of  the  God  of  Jacob;  and  he 
will  teach  us  of  his  ways,  and  we  will 
walk  in  his  paths:  for  out  of  Zion  shall 
go  forth  the  law,  and  the  word  of  the 
Lord  from  Jerusalem.

23  And  being  let  go,  they  went  to 
their  own  company,  and  reported  all 
that  the  chief  priests  and  elders  had 
said  unto  them. 

24  And  when  they  heard  that,  they 
lifted  up  their  voice  to  God  with  one  ac- 
cord, and  said,  gLord,  thou  art  God, 
which  hast  made  heaven,  and  earth, 
and  the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them  is;

ant David  hast  said,  iWhy  did  the 
heathen  rau:e,  and  the  people  imagine 
vain  things? 

26  The  kings  of  the  earth  stood  up, 
and  the  rulers  were  gathered  together 
against  the  Lord,  and  against  his 
Christ.

rhild  Jesus,  Jwhom  thou  hast  anointed,

ourselves  to  the  Lord  in  a  perpetual 
covenant  that  shall  not  be  forgotten.

Lord  of  hosts;  I  will  go  also. 

22  Yea,  many  people  and  strong  na- 
tions shall  come  to  seek  the  Lord  of 
I'.osts  in  Jerusalem,  and  to  pray  before 
the  Lord.

those  days  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
ten  men  shall  take  hold  out  of  all  lan-

hold  of  the  skirt  of  him  that  is  a  Jew,

have  heard  that  God  is  with  you.

prayed  before  the  Lord,  and  said,  O 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  which  dwellest  be- 
tween the  cherubim,  thou  art  the  God, 
even  thou  alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms  of 
the  earth:  thou  hast  made  heaven  and 
earth. 

JEREMIAH  xxxii:16  Now  when  I 
had  delivered  the  evidence  of  the  pur- 
chase unto  Raruch  the  son  of  Neriah, 
I  prayed  unto  the  I^ord.  saying, 

17    Ah  Lord  God!  behold,  thou  hast 


both  Herod,  and  Pontius  Pilate,  with 
the  Gentiles,  and  the  people  of  Israel, 
were  gathered  together, 

28  kFor  to  do  whatsoever  thy  hand 
and  thy  council  determined  before  to 
be  done. 

29  And  now.  Lord,  behold  their 
threatenings:  and  grant  unto  thy  serv- 
ants, that  with  all  iboldness  they  may 
speak  thy  word, 

30  By  stretching  forth  thine  hand 
mto  heal;  and  that  signs  and  wonders 
may  be  done  by  the  name  of  thy  holy 
child  Jesus. 

31  And  when  they  had  prayed,  the 
place  was  shaken  where  they  were  as- 
sembled together;  and  nthey  were  all 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  they 
spake  the  word  of  God  with  boldness. 

32  And  the  multitude  of  them  that 
believed  were  of  one  heart  and  of  one 

made  the  heaven  and  the  earth  by  thy 
great  power  and  stretched  out  arm,  and 
there  is  nothing  too  hard  for  thee:

thing? 

2  The  kings  of  the  earth  set  them-

gether, against  the  Lord,  and  against 
his  Anointed,  saying, 

3  Let  us  break  their  bands  asunder, 
and  cast  away  their  cords  from  us. 

4  He  that  sitteth  in  the  heavens 
shall  laugh:  the  Lord  shall  have  them 
in  derision. 

ISAIAH  LI:1  jHearken  to  me,  ye 
that  follow  after  righteousness,  ye  that 
seek  the  Lord:  look  unto  the  rock 
whence  ye  are  hewn,  and  to  the  hole

aught  of  the  things  which  he  possessed 
was  his  own;  but  they  had  all  things 
common. 

33  And  with  great  power  gave  the 
apostles  witness  of  the  resurrection  of 
the  Lord  Jesus:  and  great  grace  was 
upon  them  all. 

34  Neither  was  there  any  among 
them  that  lacked:  for  as  many  as  were 
possessors  of  lands  or  houses  sold 
them,  and  brought  the  prices  of  the 
things  that  were  sold, 

35  And  laid  them  down  at  the  apos- 
tles' feet:  and  distribution  was  made 
unto  every  man  according  as  he  had 
need.

CHAPTER  V. 

Ananias  and  Sapphira  fell  down  dead  for  ly- 
ing to  God.  12  Many  miracles  were  wrought  by 
the  apostles.  17  The  apostles  were  put  in  pris- 
on, and  the  angel  brought  them  out.  26  The 
officers  found  them  preaching  in  the  temple,  and 
brought  them  before  the  council.  33  By  the 
pleading  of  Gamaliel  the  lives  of  the  apostles 
were  saved,  but  they  were  beaten  and  com-

which  they  disregarded.

1  But  a  certain  man  named  Anan- 
ias, with  Sapphira  his  wife,  sold  a  pos- 
session, 

2  And  kept  back  part  of  the  price,, 
his  wife  also  being  privy  to  it,  and 
brought  a  certain  part,  and  laid  it  at 
the  apostles'  feet. 

3  aBut  Peter  said,  Ananias,  why 
hath  Satan  filled  thine  heart  to  lie  to 
the  Holy  Ghost,  and  to  keep  back  part 
of  the  price  of  the  land? 

4  While  it  remained,  was  it  not 
thine  own?  and  after  it  was  sold,  was 
it  not  in  thine  own  power?  why  hast 
thou  conceived  this  thing  in  thine 
heart?  thou  hast  not  lied  unto  men,  but 
unto  God. 

5  And  Ananias  hearing  these  words 
bfell  down,  and  gave  up  the  ghost:  and 
great  fear  came  on  all  them  that  heard 
these  things. 

6  And  the  young  men  arose,  wound 
him  up,  and  carried  him  out,  and 
buried  him. 

7  And  it  was  about  the  space  of 
three  hours  after,  when  his  wife,  not 
knowing  what  was  done,  came  in. 

8  And  Peter  answered  unto  her.  Tell 
me  whether  ye  sold  the  land  for  so 
much?  And  she  said.  Yea,  for  so 
much. 

9  Then  Peter  said  unto  her,  How  is 

quire  it  of  thee;  and  it  would  be  sin 
in  thee. 

22  But  if  thou  shalt  forbear  to  vow, 
it  shall  be  no  sin  in  thee. 

ECCLESIASTES  v:4  When  thou 
vowest  a  vow  unto  God,  defer  not  to 
pay  it;  for  he  hath  no  pleasure  in  fools: 
pay  that  which  thou  hast  vowed.

men  that  did  bring  up  the  evil  report

38  But  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun,  and 
Caleb  the  son  of  Jephunneh,  which 
were  of  the  men  that  went  to  search 
the  land,  lived  still. 

39  And  Moses  told  these  sayings  un- 
to all  the  children  of  Israel:  and  the 
people  mourned  greatly.

the  feet  of  them  which  have  buried  thy 
husband  are  at  the  door,  and  shall  car-

10  Then  fell  she  down  straightway 
at  his  feet,  and  yielded  up  the  ghost: 
and  the  young  men  came  in,  and 
found  her  dead,  and  carrying  her  forth, 
buried  her  by  her  husband. 

11  And  great  fear  came  upon  all  the 
church,  and  upon  as  many  as  heard 
these  things. 

12  And  by  the  hands  of  the  apostles 
were  many  signs  and  wonders  wrought 
among  the  people;  (and  they  were  all 
with  one  accord  in  Solomon's  porch. 

13  And  of  the  rest  durst  no  man 
join  himself  to  them:  but  the  people 
magnified  them.

added  to  the  Lord,  multitudes  both  of 
men  and  wopien;) 

15  Insomuch  that  they  brought 
forth  the  sick  into  the  streets,  and  laid 
them  on  beds  and  couches,  that  at  the 
least  the  shadow  of  Peter  passing  by 
might  overshadow  some  of  them. 

16  There  came  also  a  multitude  out 
of  the  cities  round  about  unto  Jerusa- 
lem, bringing  esick  folks,  and  them 
which  were  vexed  with  unclean  spirits: 
and  they  were  healed  every  one. 

NUMBERS  xiv:21  cBut  as  truly  as 
I  live,  all  the  earth  shall  be  filled  with 
the  glory  of  the  Lord. 

22  Because  all  those  men  which 
have  seen  my  glory,  and  my  miracles, 
which  I  did  in  Egypt  and  in  the  wil- 
derness, and  have  tempted  me  now 
these  ten  times,  and  have  not  heark- 
ened to  my  voice; 

23  Surely  they  shall  not  see  the  land 
which  I  sware  unto  their  fathers,  nei- 
ther shall  any  of  them  that  provoked 
me  see  it: 

PSALM  cvi:47  dSave  us,  0  Lord 
our  Ood,  and  gather  us  from  among  the 
heathen,  to  give  thanks  unto  thy  holy 
name,  and  to  triumph  in  thy  praise.

17  Then  the  high  priest  rose  up,  and 
all  they  that  were  with  him,  (which  is 
the  sect  of  the  Sadducees,)  and  were 
filled  with  indignation, 

18  And  laid  their  hands  on  the  apos- 
tles, and  put  them  in  the  common  pris- 
on. 

19  But  fthe  angel  of  the  Lord  by 
night  opened  the  prison  doors,  and 
brought  them  forth,  and  said, 

20  Go,  stand  and  speak  in  the  tem- 
ple to  the  people  all  the  words  of  this 
life. 

21  And  when  they  heard  that,  they 
entered  into  the  temple  early  in  the 
morning,  and  taught.  But  the  high 
priest  came,  and  they  that  were  with 
him,  and  called  the  council  together, 
and  all  the  senate  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  and  sent  to  the  prison  to  have 
them  brought. 

22  But  when  the  oflJcers  came,  and 
found  them  not  in  the  prison,  they  re- 
turned, and  told, 

23  Saying,  The  prison  truly  found 
we  shut  with  all  safety,  and  the  keep- 
ers standing  without  before  the  doors: 
but  when  we  had  opened,  we  found  no 
man  within. 

24  Now  when  the  high  priest  and 
the  captain  of  the  temple  and  the  chief 
priests  heard  these  things,  they 
doubted  of  them  whereunto  this  would 

racl  from  everlasting  to  everlasting: 
and  let  all  the  people  say,  Amen. 
Praise  ye  the  Lord.

lands,  from  the  east,  and  from  the 
west,  from  the  north,  and  from  the 
south.

25  Then  came  one  and  told  them, 
saying,  Behold,  the  men  whom  ye  put 
in  prison  are  standing  in  the  temple, 
and  teaching  the  people. 

26  Then  went  the  captain  with  the 
officers,  and  brought  them  without  vio- 
lence: for  they  feared  the  people,  lest 
they  should  have  been  stoned. 

27  And  when  they  had  brought 
them,  they  set  them  before  the  council: 
and  the  high  priest  aslved  them, 

28  Saying,  Did  not  we  straitly  com- 
mand you  that  ye  should  not  teach  in 
this  name?  and,  behold,  ye  have  filled 
Jerusalem  with  your  doctrine,  and  in- 
tend to  bring  this  man's  gblood  upon 
us. 

29  Then  Peter  and  the  other  apos- 
tles answered  and  said,  We  ought  to 
obey  God  rather  than  men. 

30  The  God  of  our  fathers  raised  up 
Jesus,  whom  ye  slew  and  hanged  on  a 
tree. 

31  Him  hath  God  exalted  with  his 
right  hand  to  be  a  hPrince  and  a  Sav- 
ior, for  to  give  repentance  to  Israel, 
and  forgiveness  of  sins.

these  things;  and  so  is  also  the  Holy 
Ghost,  whom  God  hath  given  to  them 
that  obey  him.

33  When  they  heard  that,  they 
were  cut  to  the  heart,  and  took  coun- 
sel to  slay  them. 

34  Then  stood  there  up  one  in  the 
council,  a  Pharisee,  named  Gamaliel, 
a  doctor  of  the  law,  had  in  reputation 
among  all  the  people,  and  commanded 
to  put  the  apostles  forth  a  little 
space; 

35  And  said  unto  them.  Ye  men  of 
Israel,  take  heed  to  yourselves  what 
ye  intend  to  do  as  touching  these  men. 

36  For  before  these  days  rose  up 
Theudas,  boasting  himself  to  be  some- 
body; to  whom  a  number  of  men, 
about  four  hundred,  joined  them- 
selves: who  was  slain;  and  all,  as 
many  as  obeyed  him,  were  scattered, 
and  brought  to  nought. 

37  After  this  man  rose  up  Judas  of 
Galilee  in  the  days  of  the  taxing,  and 
drew  away  much  people  after  him:  he 
also  perished;  and  all,  even  as  many 
as  obeyed  him,  were  dispersed. 

38  And  now  I  say  unto  you.  Re- 
frain from  these  men,  and  let  them 
alone:  if  or  if  this  counsel  or  this  work 
be  of  men,  it  will  come  to  nought:

overthrow  it;  lest  haply  ye  be  found 
even  to  fight  against  God.

mountain  the  face  of  the  covering 
cast  over  all  people,  and  the  vail  that 
is  spread  over  all  nations. 

8  He  will  swallow  up  death  in  vic- 
tory; and  the  Lard  God  will  wipe  away 
tears  from  off  all  faces;  and  the  re- 
buke of  his  people  shall  he  take  away 
from  off  all  the  earth:  for  the  Lord 
hath  spoken  it.

40  And  to  him  they  agreed:  and 
when  they  had  called  the  apostles, 
and  beaten  them,  they  commanded 
that  they  should  not  speak  in  the 
name  of  Jesus,  and  let  them  go. 

41  And  they  departed  from  the 
presence  of  the  council,  rejoicing  that 
they  were  counted  worthy  to  suffer 
shame  for  his  name.

CHAPTER  VI. 

Provision  for  the  poor  by  rhoosintr  seven  dis- 
ciples.   9  Disputuiion  with  Stephen. 

1  And  in  those  days,  jwhen  the 
number  of  the  disciples  was  multi- 
plied, there  arose  a  murmuring  of  the 
Grecians  against  the  Hebrews,  be- 
cause their  widows  were  neglected  in 
the   daily   ministration. 

2  Then  the  twelve  called  the  mul- 
titude of  the  disciples  unto  them,  and 
said,  It  is  not  reason  that  we  should 
leave  the  word  of  God,  and  serve  ta- 
bles. 

3  Wherefore,  brethren,  kiook  ye 
out  among  you  seven  men  of  honest 
report,  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and 
wisdom,  whom  we  may  appoint  over 
this  business. 

4  But  we  will  give  ourselves  con- 
tinually to  prayer,  and  to  the  minis- 

sel  against  the  Lord. 

ISAIAH  viii:10  Take  counsel  to- 
gether, and  it  shall  come  to  naught: 
speak  the  word,  and  it  shall  not  stand: 
for  God  is  with  us. 

PSALM  lxxii:16  JThere  shall  be  a 
handful  of  corn  in  the  earth  upon  the 
top  of  the  mountains;  the  fruit  there- 
of shall  shake  like  Lebanon:  and  they 
of  the  city  shall  flourish  like  grass  of 
the  earth. 

DEUTERONOMY  i:13  kTake  you 
wise  men,  and  understanding,  and

try  of  the  word. 

5  And  the  saying  pleased  the  whole 
multitude:  and  they  chose  Stephen,  a 
m?n  full  of  faith  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  Philip,  and  Prochorus, 
and  Nicanor,  and  Timon,  and  Par- 
menas,  and  Nicolas  a  proselyte  of  An- 
tioch ; 

G  Whom  they  set  before  the  apos- 
tles: and  when  they  had  prayed,  they 
laid  their  hands  on  them. 

7  And  the  word  of  God  increased; 
and  the  number  of  the  disciples  mul- 
tiplied in  Jerusalem  greatly;  and  a 
great  company  of  the  priests  were 
obedient  to  the  faith. 

8  And  Stephen,  full  of  faith  and 
power,  did  great  wonders  and  mira- 
cles among  the  people. 

9  Then  there  arose  certain  of  the 
synagogue,  which  is  called  the  syna- 
gogue of  the  Libertines,  and  Cyren- 
ians,  and  Alexandrians,  and  of  them 
of  Cilicia  and  of  Asia,  disputing  with 
Stephen. 

10  And  they  were  not  able  to  re- 
sist the  wisdom  and  the  spirit  by 
which  he  spake. 

11  iThen  they  suborned  men,  which 
said.  We  have  heard  him  speak  blas- 
phemous words  against  Moses,  and 
against  God. 

12  And  they  stirred  up  the  people, 

I.  KINGS  xxi:10  lAnd  the  Lord 
spake  by  his  servants  the  prophets, 
saying, 

11  Because  Manasseh  king  of  Ju- 
dah  hath  done  these  abominations, 
and  hath  done  wickedly  above  that 
the  Amorites  did,  which  were  before 
him,  and  hath  made  Judah  also  to 
sin  with  his  idols: 

12  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  Behold.  I  am  bringing 
such  evil  upon  Jerusalem  and  Judah, 
that  whosoever  heareth  of  it,  both  his 
ears  shall  tingle. 

13  And  I  will  stretch  over  Jerusa- 
lem the  line  of  Samaria,  and  the  plum- 
met of  the  house  of  Ahab:  and  I  will

came  upon  him,  and  caught  him,  and 
brought  him  to  the  council, 

13  And  set  up  mfalse  witnesses, 
which  said,  This  man  ceaseth  not  to 
speak  blasphemous  words  against 
this  holy  place,  and  the  law: 

14  For  we  have  heard  him  say,  that 
this  Jesus  of  Nazareth  shall  ndestroy 
this  place,  and  shall  change  the  cus- 
toms which  Moses  delivered  us. 

15  And  all  that  sat  in  the  council, 
looking  steadfastly  on  him,  saw  his

children  of  Belial,  and  sat  before  him: 
and  the  men  of  Belial  witnessed 
against  him,  even  against  Naboth,  in 
the  presence  of  the  people,  saying, 
Naboth  did  blaspheme  God  and  the 
king.  Then  they  carried  him  forth 
out  of  the  city,  and  stoned  him  with 
stones,  that  he  died.

EXODUS  xxxiv:29  oAnd  it  came 
to  pass,  when  Moses  came  down  from 
mount  Sinai  with  the  two  tables  of 
testimony  in  Moses'  hand,  when  he 
came  down  from  the  mount,  that  Mo- 
ses wist  not  that  the  skin  of  his  face 
shone  while  he  talked  with  him. 

35  And  the  children  of  Israel  saw

fathers,  hearken;  The  God  of  glory 
appeared  unto  our  father  Abraham, 
when  he  was  in  Mesopotamia,  before 
he  dwelt  in  Haran,

out  of  thy  country,  and  from  thy  kin- 
dred, and  come  into  the  land  which 
I  shall  shew  thee. 

4  Then  bcame  he  out  of  the  land  of 
the  Chaldseans,  and  dwelt  in  Haran: 
and  from  thence,  when  his  father  was 
dead,  he  removed  him  into  cthis  land, 
wherein  ye  now  dwell 

5  And  he  gave  him  none  inheri-

GENESIS  XII  :1  aNow  the  Lord 
had  said  unto  Abram,  Get  thee  out  of 
thy  country,  and  from  thy  kindred, 
and  from  thy  father's  house,  unto  a 
land  that  I  will  shew  thee: 

GENESIS  xi:31  bAnd  Terah  took 
Abram  his  son,  and  Lot  the  son  of 
Haran  his  son's  son,  and  Sarai  his 
daughter  in  law,  his  son  Abram's  wife; 
and  they  went  forth  with  them  from 
Ur  of  the  Chaldees,  to  go  into  the  land 
of  Canaan;  and  they  came  unto  Ha- 
ran, and  dwelt  there. 

GENESIS  xii:4  cSo  Abram  de- 
parted, as  the  Lord  had  spoken  unto 
him;  and  Lot  went  with  him:  and 
Abram  was  seventy  and  five  years  old 
when  he  departed  out  of  Haran. 

5  And  Abram  took  Sarai  his  wife 
and  Lot  his  brother's  son,  and  all  their 
substance  that  they  had  gathered,  and 
the  souls  that  they  had  gotten  in  Ha-

the  land  of  Caanan;  and  into  the  land 
of  Caanan  they  came.

thy  seed  will  I  give  this  land:  and 
there  builded  he  an  altar  unto  the

6  And  God  spake  on  this  wise, 
eThat  his  seed  should  sojourn  in  a 
strange  land;  and  that  they  should 
bring  them  into  bondage,  and  entreat 
them  evil  ffour  hundred  years. 

7  And  the  nation  to  whom  they 
shall  be  in  bondage  will  I  judge,  said 


it,  and  to  thy  seed  forever. 

16  And  I  will  make  thy  seed  as  the 
dust  of  the  earth:  so  that  if  a  man  can 
number  the  dust  of  the  earth,  then 
shall  thy  seed  also  be  numbered. 

GENESIS  xv:3  And  Abram  said, 
Behold,  to  me  thou  hast  given  no 
seed:  and,  lo,  one  born  in  mine  house 
is  mine  heir. 

18  In  that  same  day  the  Lord  made 
a  covenant  with  Abram,  saying.  Unto 
thy  seed  have  I  given  this  land,  from 
the  river  of  Egypt  unto  the  great  riv- 
er, the  river  Euphrates: 

GENESIS  xvii:8  And  I  will  give 
unto  thee  [Abraham]  and  to  thy  seed 
after  thee,  the  land  wherein  thou  art 
a  stranger,  all  the  land  of  Canaan, 
for  an  everlasting  possession;  and  1 
will  be  their  God. 

GENESIS  xxvi:3  eSojourn  in  this 
land,  and  I  will  be  with  thee  [Isaac], 
and  will  bless  thee;  for  unto  thee,  and 
unto  thy  seed,  I  will  give  all  these 
countries,  and  I  will  perform  the  oath 
which  I  sware  unto  Abraham  thy 
father; 

GENESIS  xv:13  fAnd  he  said  un- 
to Abram,  Know  of  a  surety  that  thy 
seed  shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  land  that 
is  not  theirs,  and  shall  serve  them; 
and  they  shall  'afflict  them  four  hun- 
dred years: 

10  But  in  the  fourth  generation 
they  shall  come  hither  again:  for  the 
iniquity  of  the  Amorites  is  not  yet 
full. 

EXODUS  iii:ll  gAnd  Moses  said 
unto  God,  Who  am  I.  that  I  should  go 
unto  Pharaoh,  and  that  I  should  bring 
forth  the  children  of  Israel  out  of 
Egypt?

xii:  41.  Their  affliction  betfan  when  Ishmael. 
the  son  of  the  Ku'yptian  woman.  mocVced  Isaac, 
and  Hatrar  and  her  son  were  driven  from  Abra-

exodus  from  Eirypt.  and  its  continuance  was 
four  hundred  years.

forth,  and  Kserve  me  in  this  place. 

8  And  hhe  gave  him  the  covenant 
of  circumcision:  and  so  Abraham  be- 
gat Isaac,  iand  circumcised  him  the 
eighth  day;  and  j Isaac  begat  Jacob; 
and     kjacob     begat     the     twelve   pa- 

12  And  he  said,  Certainly  I  will  be 
with  thee;  and  this  shall  be  a  token 
unto  thee,  that  I  have  sent  thee: 
When  thou  hast  brought  forth  the 
people  out  of  Egypt,  ye  shall  serve 
God  upon  this  mountain. 

GENESIS  xvii:9  hAnd  God  said 
unto  Abraham,  Thou  shalt  keep  my 
covenant  therefore,  thou,  and  thy  seed 
after  thee  in  their  generations. 

10  This  is  my  covenant  which  ye 
shall  keep,  between  me  and  you  and 
thy  seed  after  thee;  Every  man  child 
among  you  shall  be  circumcised. 

11  And  ye  shall  circumcise  the  flesh 
of  your  foreskin;  and  it  shall  be  a 
token  of  the  covenant  betwixt  me  and 
you. 

12  And  he  that  is  eight  days  old 
shall  be  circumcised  among  you,  ev- 
ery man  child  in  your  generations,  he 
that  is  born  in  the  house,  or  bought 
with  money  of  any  stranger,  which  is 
not  of  thy  seed. 

GENESIS  XXI:  1  iAnd  the  Lord 
visited  Sarah  as  he  had  said,  and  the 
Lord  did  unto  Sarah  as  he  had  spok- 
en. 

2  For  Sarah  conceived,  and  bare 
Abraham  a  son  in  his  old  age,  at  the 
set  time  of  which  God  had  spoken  to 
him. 

3  And  Abraham  called  the  name 
of  his  son  that  was  born  unto  him, 
whom  Sarah  bare  to  him,  Isaac. 

4  And  Abraham  circumcised  his 
son  Isaac  being  eight  days  old,  as 
God  had  commanded  him.

years  old,  when  his  son  Isaac  was

his  name  Reuben:

bare  a  son;  and  she  called  his  name 
Simeon. 

34  And  she  conceived  again,  and 
bare  a  son;  and  said,  Now  this  time 
will  my  husband  be  joined  unto  me, 
because  I  have  borne  him  three  sons: 
therefore  was  his  name  called  Levi. 

35  And  she  conceived  again,  and 
bare  a  son;  and  she  said.  Now  will  I 
praise  the  Lord:  therefore  she  called 
his  name  Judah; 

GENESIS  XXX :  5  And  Bilhah  con- 
ceived, and  bare  Jacob  a  son. 

6  And  Rachel  said,  God  hath 
judged  me,  and  hath  also  heard  my 
voice  and  hath  given  me  a  son:  there- 
fore called  she  his  name  Dan. 

7  And  Bilhah  Rachel's  maid  con- 
ceived again,  and  bare  Jacob  a  second 
son. 

8  And  Rachel  said,  With  great 
wrestlings  have  I  wrestled  with  my 
sister,  and  I  have  prevailed:  and  she 
called  his  name  Naphtali. 

10  And  Zilpah  Leah's  maid  bare 
Jacob  a  son. 

11  And  Leah  said,  A  troop  cometh: 
and  she  called  his  name  Gad. 

12  And  Zilpah  Leah's  maid  bare  Ja- 
cob a  second  son. 

13  And  Leah  said,  Happy  am  I,  for 
the  daughters  will  call  me  blessed:  and 
she  called  his  name  Asher. 

17  And  God  hearkened  unto  Leah, 
and  she  conceived,  and  bare  Jacob  the 
fifth  son... and  she  called  his  name 
Issachar. 

19  And  Leah  conceived  again,  and 
bare  Jacob  the  sixth  son,  and  she  called 
his  name  Zebulun. 

22  And  God  remembered  Rachel. 

23  And  she  conceived,  and  bare  a 
son; 

24  And  she  called  his  name  Joseph; 

GENESIS  xxxv:17  Rachel  travailed, 
and  she  had  hard  labour.  Fear 
not;  thou  shalt  have  this  son  also. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  her  soul 
was  in  departing,  (for  she  died,)  that 
she  called  his  name  Ben-oni:  but  his 
father  called  him  Benjamin. 


10  And  delivered  him  out  of  all  his 
afflictions,  nand  gave  him  favour  and 
wisdom  in  the  sight  of  Pharaoh  king 
of  Egypt;   and  he  made  him  governor 

GENESIS  xxxvii:4  lAnd  when  his 
brethren  saw  that  their  father  loved 
him  more  than  all  his  brethren,  they 
hated  him,  and  could  not  speak  peace- 
ably unto  him. 

11  And  his  brethren  envied  him; 
but  his  father  observed  the  saying. 

28  Then  there  passed  by  Midianites 
merchantmen;  and  they  drew  and 
lifted  up  Joseph  out  of  the  pit,  and  sold 
Joseph  to  the  Ismaelites  for  twenty 
pieces  of  silver:  and  they  brought  Jo- 
seph into  Egypt. 

PSALM  cv:17  He  sent  a  man  be- 
fore them,  even  Joseph,  who  was  sold 
for  a  servant: 

18  Whose  feet  they  hurt  with  fet- 
ters:  he  was  laid  in  iron: 

19  Until  the  time  that  his  word 
came:  tne  word  of  the  Lord  tried  him. 

20  The  king  sent  and  loosed  him; 
even  the  ruler  of  the  people,  and  let 
him  go  free. 

21  He  made  him  lord  of  his  house, 
and  ruler  gf  all  his  substance: 

22  To  bind  his  princes  at  his  pleas- 
ure; and  teach  his  senators  wisdom. 

GENESIS  xxxix:2  mAnd  the  Lord 
was  with  Joseph,  and  he  was  a  pros- 
perous man;  and  he  was  in  the  house 
of  his  master  the  Egyptian. 

3  And  his  master  saw  that  the  Lord 
was  with  him,  and  that  the  Lord  made 
all  that  he  did  to  prosper  in  his  hand. 

21  But  the  Lord  was  with  Joseph, 
and  shewed  him  mercy,  and  gave  him 
favour  in  the  sight  of  the  keeper  of  the 
prison. 

22  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
committed  to  Joseph's  hand  all  the 
prisoners  that  were  in  the  prison;  and 
whatsoever  they  did  there,  he  was  the 
doer  of  it. 

23  The  keeper  of  the  prison  looked 
not  to  anything  that  was  under  his 
hand;  because  the  Lord  was  with  him, 
and  that  which  he  did,  the  Lord  made 
it  to  prosper. 

GENESIS  xli:37  nAnd  the  thing 
was  good  in  the  eyes  of  Pharaoh,  and 
in  the  eyes  of  all  his  servants. 

41  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Joseph, 
See,  I  have  set  thee  over  all  the  land 
of  Egypt.

11  oNow  there  came  a  dearth  over 
all  the  land  of  Egypt  and  Chanaan. 
and  great  affliction:  and  our  fathers 
found  no  sustenance. 

12  I'Uut  when  Jacob  heard  that 
there  was  corn  in  Egypt,  he  sent  out 
our  fathers  first. 

13  qAnd  at  the  second  time  Joseph 
was  made  known  to  his  brethren; 
and  Joseph's  kindred  was  made  known 

GENESIS  xlii:G  And  Joseph  was 
the  governor  over  the  land,  and  he  it 
was  that  sold  to  all  the  people  of  the 
land:  and  Joseph's  brethren  came,  and 
bowed  down  themselves  before  him 
with  their  faces  to  the  earth. 

GENESIS  xli:54  oAnd  the  seven 
years  of  dearth  began  to  come,  accord- 
ing as  Joseph  had  said:  and  the  dearth 
was  in  all  lands;  but  in  all  the  land  of 
Egypt  there  was  bread. 

GENESIS  XLII:1  pNow  when  Ja- 
cob saw  that  there  was  corn  in  Egypt, 
Jacob  said  unto  his  sons.  Why  do  ye 
look  one  upon  another? 

2  And  he  said.  Behold,  I  have  heard 
that  there  is  corn  in  Egypt:  get  you 
down  thither,  and  buy  for  us  from 
thence;  that  we  may  live,  and  not  die. 

GENESIS  xlv:4  qAnd  Joseph  said 
unto  his  brethren.  Come  near  to  me,  I 
pray  you.  And  they  came  near.  And 
he  said,  I  am  Joseph  your  brother, 
whom  ye  sold  into  Egypt. 

5  Now  therefore  be  not  grieved,  nor 
angry  with  yourselves,  that  ye  sold 
me  hither:  for  God  did  send  me  before 
you  to  preserve  life. 

15  Moreover  he  kissed  all  his  breth- 
ren, and  wept  upon  them:  and  after 
that  his  brethren  talked  with  him. 

16  And  the  fame  thereof  was  heard 
in  Pharaoh's  house,  saying,  Joseph's 
brethren  are  come:  and  it  pleased 
Pharaoh  well,  and  his  servants. 

GENESIS  xlv:9  rHaste  ye,  and  go 
up  to  my  father,  and  say  unto  him, 
Thus  saith  thy  son  Joseph,  God  hath 
made  me  lord  of  all  Egypt:  come  down 
unto  me,  tarry  not: 

27  And  they  told  him  all  the  words 
of  Joseph,  which  he  had  said  unto 
them:  and  when  he  saw  the  wagons 
which  Joseph  had  sent  to  carry  him, 
the  spirit  of  Jacob  their  father  revived. 


unto   Pharaoh. 

14  rThen  sent  Joseph,  and  called 
his  father  Jacob  to  him,  and  sail  hl.s 
kindred,  'threescore  and  fifteen  souls. 

15  tSo  Jacob  went  down  into  Egypt, 
uand  died,  he,  and  our  fathers, 

16  And  vwere  carried  over  into 
Shechem,  and  laid  in  the  sepulchre 
that  tAbraham  bought  for  a  sum  of 
money  of  wthe  sons  of  Hamor,  the  fa- 
ther of  Shechem. 


28  And  Israel  said,  It  is  enough; 
Joseph  my  ^on  is  yet  alive:  I  will  go 
and  see  him  before  I  die. 

GENESIS  xlvi:27  sAU  the  souls  of 
the  house  of  Jacob,  who  came  with  Jo- 
seph into  Egypt  were  seventy-five 
souls  [Septuagintt]. 

GENESIS  xlvi:5  tAnd  Jacob  rose 
up  from  Beer-sheba:  and  the  sons  of 
Israel  carried  Jacob  their  father,  and 
their  little  ones,  and  their  wives,  in 
the  wagons  which  Pharaoh  had  sent  to 
carry  him. 

GENESIS  xlix:33  uAnd  when  Ja- 
cob had  made  an  end  of  commanding 
his  sons,  he  gathered  up  his  feet  into 
the  bed.  and  yielded  up  the  ghost,  and 
was  gathered  unto  his  people. 

EXODUS  1:6  And  Joseph  died,  and 
all  his  brethren,  and  all  that  genera- 
tion. 

EXODUS  xiii:19  vAnd  Moses  took 
the  bones  of  Joseph  with  him:  for  he 
had  straitly  sworn  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, saying.  God  v.-ill  surely  visit  you; 
and  ye  shall  carry  up  my  bones  away 
hence  with  you. 

JOSHUA  xxiv: 32  And  the  bones  of 
Joseph,  which  the  children  of  Israel 
brought  up  out  of  Egypt,  buried  they 
in  Shechem,  in  a  parcel  of  ground 
which  Jacob  bought  of  the  sons  of  Ha- 
mor the  father  of  Shechem  for  a  hun- 
dred pieces  of  silver;  and  it  became 
the  inheritance  of  the  children  of  Jo- 
seph.

17  But  when  xthe  time  of  the  prom-

to  Abraham,  ythe  people  grew  and  mul-

our  kindred,  and  evil  entreated  our  fa- 

GENESIS  xxiii:14  wAnd  Ephron 
answered  Abraham,  saying  unto  him, 

15  My  lord,  hearken  unto  me:  the 
land  is  worth  four  hundred  shekels  of 
silver;  what  is  that  betwixt  me  and 
thee?  bury  therefore  thy  dead. 

16  And  Abraham  hearkened  unto 
Ephron;  and  Abraham  weighed  to  Eph- 
ron the  silver,  which  he  had  named  in 
the  audience  of  the  sons  of  Heth,  four 
hundred  shekels  of  silver,  current  mon- 
ey with  the  merchant. 

17  And  the  field  of  Ephron,  which 
was  in  Machpelah,  which  was  before 
Mamre,  the  field,  and  the  cave  which 
was  therein,  and  all  the  trees  that 
were  in  the  field,  that  were  in  all  the 
borders  round  about,  were  made  sure 

18  Unto  Abraham  for  a  possession 
in  the  presence  of  the  children  of  Heth, 
before  all  that  went  in  at  the  gate  of 
his  city. 

19  And  after  this,  Abraham  buried 
Sarah  his  wife  in  the  cave  of  the  field 
of  Machpelah  before  Mamre:  the  same 
is  Hebron  in  the  land  of  Canaan. 

20  And  the  field,  and  the  cave  that 
is  therein,  were  made  sure  unto  Abra- 
ham for  a  possession  of  a  buryingplace 
by  the  sons  of  Heth. 

GENESIS     xxxiii:18  And     Jacob 

came  to  Shalem,  a  city  of  Shechem, 
which  is  in  the  land  of  Canaan,  when 
he  came  from  Padan-aram;  and  pitched 
his  tent  before  the  city. 

19  And  he  bought  a  parcel  of  a  field, 
where  he  had  spread  his  tent,  at  the 
hand  of  the  children  of  Hamor,  She- 
chem's  father,  for  a  hundred  pieces  of 
money. 

20  And  he  erected  there  an  altar, 
and  called  it  El-Elohe-Israel. 

GENESIS  xv:  13  xAnd  he  said  unto 
Abram,  Know  of  a  surety  that  thy  seed 
shall  be  a  stranger  in  a  land  that  is 
not  theirs,  and  shall  serve  them;  and 
they  shall  afflict  them  four  hundred 
years; 

14    And  also  that  nation,  whom  they 


thers,  so  athat  they  cast  out  their  young 
children,  to  the  end  that  they  might 
not  live. 

20  In  bwhich  time  Moses  was  born, 
and  was  exceeding  fair,  and  nourished 
up  in  his  father's  house  three  months: 

21  And  cwhen  he  was  cast  out, 
Pharaoh's  daughter  took  him  up,  and 

shall  serve,  will  I  judge:  and  afterward 
shall  they  come  out  with  great  sub- 
stance. 

EXODUS  1:7  yAnd  the  children  of 
Israel  were  fruitful,  and  increased 
abundantly,  and  multiplied,  and  waxed 
exceeding  mighty;  and  the  land  was 
filled  with  them. 

8  Now  there  arose  up  a  new  king 
over  Egypt,  which  knew  not  Joseph. 

9  And  he  said  unto  his  people.  Be- 
hold, the  people  of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael are  more  and  mightier  than  we: 

PSALM  cv:23  zlsrael  also  came  in- 
to Egypt;  and  Jacob  sojourned  in  the 
land  of  Ham. 

24  And  he  increased  his  people 
greatly;  and  made  them  stronger  than 
their  enemies. 

25  He  turned  their  heart  to  hate  his 
people,  to  deal  subtilely  with  his  serv- 
ants. 

EXODUS  i:22  aAnd  Pharaoh 
charged  all  his  people,  saying.  Every 
son  that  is  born  ye  shall  cast  into  the 
river,  and  every  daughter  ye  shall  save 
alive. 

EXODUS  11:1  bAnd  there  went  a 
man  of  the  house  of  Levi,  and  took  to 
wife  a  daughter  of  Levi. 

2  And  the  woman  conceived,  and 
bare  a  son  [Moses]:  and  when  she  saw 
him  that  he  was  a  goodly  child,  she 
hid  him  three  months. 

EXODUS  ii:  3  cAnd  when  she  could 
not  longer  hide  him,  she  took  for  him 
an  ark  of  bulrushes,  and  daubed  it 
with  slime  and  with  pitch,  and  put  the 
child  therein;  and  she  laid  it  in  the 
flags  by  the  river's  brink. 

4  And  his  sister  stood  afar  off,  to 
wit  what  would  be  done  to  him. 

5  And  the  daughter  of  Pharaoh 
came  down  to  wash  herself  at  the  riv- 
er; and  her  maidens  walked  along  by 
the  river's  side:  and  when  she  saw  the 
ark  among  the  flags,  she  sent  her  maid 
to  fetch  it.

nourished  him  for  her  own  son. 

22  And  Moses  was  learned  in  all 
the  wisdom  of  the  Egyptians,  and  was 
mighty  in  words  and  in  deeds. 

23  dAnd  when  he  was  full  forty 
years  old,  it  came  into  his  heart  to  vis- 
it his  brethren  the  children  of  Israel. 

24  And  seeing  one  of  them  suffer 
wrong,  he  defended  him,  and  avenged 
him  that  was  oppressed,  and  smote  the 
Egyptian: 

25  For  he  supposed  his  brethren 
would  have  understood  how  that  God 
by  his  hand  would  deliver  them;   but 

saw  the  child:  and,  behold,  the  babo 
wept.  And  she  had  compassion  on 
him,  and  said,  This  is  one  of  the  He- 
brew's children. 

7  Then  said  his  sister  to  Pharaoh's 
daughter.  Shall  I  go  and  call  to  thee  a 
nurse  of  the  Hebrew^  women,  that  she 
may  nurse  the  child  for  thee? 

8  And  Pharaoh's  daughter  said  to 
her.  Go.  And  the  maid  went  and  called 
the  child's  mother. 

9  And  Pharaoh's  daughter  said  un- 
to her.  Take  this  child  away,  and  nurse 
it  for  me,  and  I  will  give  thee  thy 
wages.  And  the  woman  took  the  child, 
and  nursed  it. 

10  And  the  child  grew,  and  she 
brought  him  unto  Pharaoh's  daughter, 
and  he  became  her  son.  And  she 
called  his  name  Moses:  and  she  said, 
Because  I  drew  him  out  of  the  water. 

EXODUS  ii:ll  dAnd  it  came  to 
pass  in  those  days,  when  Moses  was 
grown,  that  he  went  out  unto  his 
brethren,  and  looked  on  their  burdens: 
and  he  spied  an  Egyptian  smiting  a  He- 
brew, one  of  his  brethren. 

12  And  he  looked  this  way  and  that 
way.  and  when  he  saw  that  there  was 
no  man,  he  slew  the  Egyptian,  and  hid 
him  in  the  sand. 

EXODUS  ii:13  eAnd  when  he  [Mo- 
ses] went  out  the  second  day,  behold, 
two  men  of  the  Hebrews  strove  togeth- 
er: and  he  said  to  him  that  did  the 
wrong.  Wherefore  smitest  thou  thy 
fellow? 

14  And  he  said.  Who  made  thee  a 
prince  and  a  judge  over  us?  intendest 
thou  to  kill  me,  as  thou  killedst  the 
Egyptian?  And  Moses  feared,  and 
said.  Surely  this  thing  is  known. 


they  understood  not. 

26  eAnd  the  next  day  he  shewed 
himself  unto  them  as  they  strove,  and 
would  have  set  them  at  one  again,  say- 
ing. Sirs,  ye  are  brethren;  why  do  ye 
wrong  one  to  another? 

27  But  he  that  did  his  neighbour 
wrong  thrust  him  away,  saying,  Who 
made  thee  a  ruler  and  a  judge  over  us? 

28  Wilt  thou  kill  me,  as  thou  didst 
the  Egyptian  yesterday? 

29  Then  ffled  Moses  at  this  saying, 
and  was  a  stranger  in  the  land  of  Ma- 
dian.  where  he  gbegat  two  sons. 

EXODUS  ii:15  fNow  when  Phar- 
aoh heard  this  thing,  he  sought  to  slay 
Moses.  But  Moses  fled  from  the  face 
of  Pharaoh,  and  dwelt  in  the  land  of 
Midian:  and  he  sat  dow'n  by  a  well. 

16  Now  the  priest  of  Midian  had 
seven  daughters:  and  they  came  and 
drew  water,  and  filled  the  troughs  to 
water  their  father's  flock. 

17  And  the  shepherd's  came  and 
drove  them  away:  but  Moses  stood  up 
and  helped  them,  and  watered  their 
flock. 

18  And  when  they  came  to  Reuel 
their  father,  he  said,  How  is  it  that  ye 
are  come  so  soon  to  day? 

19  And  they  said.  An  Egyptian  de- 
livered us  out  of  the  hand  of  the  shep- 
herds, and  also  drew  water  enough  for 
us,  and  watered  the  flock. 

20  And  he  said  unto  his  daughters. 
And  where  is  he?  why  is  it  that  ye 
have  left  the  man?  call  him,  that  he 
may  eat  bread. 

21  And  Moses  was  content  to  dwell 
with  the  man:  and  he  gave  Moses  Zip- 
porah  his  daughter. 

22  And  she  bare  him  a  son,  and  he 
called  his  name  Gershom:  for  he  said. 
I  have  been  a  stranger  in  a  strange 
land. 

EXODUS  iv:20  KAnd  Moses  took 
his  wife  and  his  sons,  he  set  them  up- 
on an  ass,  and  he  returned  to  the  land 
of  Eg>-pt:  and  Moses  took  the  rod  of 
God  in  his  hand.

30  hAnd  when  forty  years  were  ex- 
pired, there  appeared  to  him  in  the 
wilderness  of  mount  Sina  an  angel  of 
the  Lord  in  a  flame  of  fire  in  a  bush. 

31  When  Moses  saw  it,  he  won- 
dered at  the  sight:  and  as  he  drew  near 
to  behold  it,  the  voice  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  him, 

32  Saying,  il  am  the  God  of  thy  fa- 
thers, the  God  of  Abraham,  and  the 
God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of  Jacob. 
Then  Moses  trembled,  and  durst  not 
behold. 

33  jThen  said  the  Lord  to  him.  Put 
off    thy    shoes    from  thy  feet:   for  the 

name  of  the  one  was  Gershom;  for  he 
said,  I  have  been  an  alien  in  a  strange 
land: 

4  And  the  name  of  the  other  was 
Eliezer;  for  the  God  of  my  father,  said 
he,  was  mine  help,  and  delivered  me 
from  the  sword  of  Pharaoh: 

5  And  Jethro,  Moses'  father  in  law, 
came  with  his  sons  and  his  wife 
unto  Moses  into  the  wilderness,  where 
he  encamped  at  the  mount  of  God: 

EXODUS  iii:2  hAnd  the  angel  of 
the  Lord  appeared  unto  him  in  a  flame 
of  fire  out  of  the  midst  of  a  bush:  and 
he  looked,  and,  behold,  the  bush 
burned  with  fire,  and  the  bush  was  not 
consumed. 

3  And  Moses  said,  I  will  now  turn 
aside,  and  see  this  great  sight,  why 
the  bush  is  not  burnt. 

EXODUS  iii:14  iAnd  God  said  un- 
to Moses,  I  AM  THAT  I  AM:  and  he 
said.  Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  I  AM  hath  sent  me 
unto  you. 

15  And  God  said  moreover  unto  Mo- 
ses, Thus  shalt  thou  say  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  The  Lord  God  of  your 
fathers,  the  God  of  Abraham,  the  God 
of  Isaac  and  the  God  of  Jacob,  hath 
sent  me  unto  you:  this  is  my  name 
for  ever,  and  this  is  my  memorial  un- 
to all  generations. 

EXODUS  iii:5  JAnd  he  said.  Draw 
not  nigh  hither:  put  off  thy  shoes 
from  off  thy  feet;  for  the  place  where- 
on thou  standest  is  holy  ground. 

6  Moreover  he  said,  I  am  the  God 
of  thy  father,  the  God  of  Abraham,  the 
God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of  Jacob, 
And    Moses    hid    his  face;  for  he  was 


place     where     thou     standest     is  holy 
ground. 

34  kl  have  seen,  I  have  seen  the  af- 
fliction of  my  people  which  is  in  Egypt, 
and  I  have  heard  their  groaning,  and 
am  come  down  to  deliver  them.  And 
now  come,  I  will  send  thee  into  Egypt. 

35  This  Moses  whom  they  refused, 
saying.  Who  made  thee  a  ruler  and  a 
judge?  the  same  did  God  send  to  be  a 
ruler  and  a  deliverer  iby  the  hand  of 
the  angel  which  appeared  to  him  in  the 
bush. 

36  mHe  brought  them  out,  after 
that     he     nhad     shewed     wonders  and 

afraid  to  look  upon  God. 

JOSHUA  v:15  And  the  captain  of 
the  Lord's  host  said  unto  Joshua, 
Loose  thy  shoe  from  off  thy  foot;  for 
the  place  whereon  thou  standest  is  ho- 
ly.    And  Joshua  did  so. 

EXODUS  iii:7  kAnd  the  Lord  said, 
I  have  surely  seen  the  affliction  of  my 
people  which  are  in  Egypt,  and  have 
heard  their  cry  by  reason  of  their 
taskmasters;  for  I  know  their  sorrows; 

9  Now  therefore,  behold,  the  cry  of 
the  children  of  Israel  is  come  unto  me: 
and  I  have  also  seen  the  oppression 
wherewith  the  Egyptians  oppress 
them. 

10  Come  now  therefore,  and  I  will 
send  thee  unto  Pharaoh,  that  thou 
mayest  bring  forth  my  people  the 
children  of  Israel  out  of  Egypt. 

11  And  Moses  said  unto  God,  Who 
am  I,  that  I  should  go  unto  Pharaoh, 
and  that  I  should  bring  forth  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  out  of  Egypt? 

EXODUS  xiv:19  lAnd  the  Angel  of 
God,  which  went  before  the  camp  of 
Israel,  removed  and  went  behind 
them;  and  the  pillar  of  the  cloud  went 
from  before  their  face,  and  stood  be- 
hind them: 

NUMBERS  xx:16  And  when  we 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  he  heard  our 
voice,  and  sent  an  angel,  and  hath 
brought  us  forth  out  of  Egypt:  and,

Egypt. 

EXODUS  XVI  :1  And  they  took 
their  journey  from  Elim,  and  all  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of  Israel 
came  unto  the  wilderness  of  Sin,  which 
is  between  Elim  and  Sinai,  on  the  fif- 
teenth day  of  the  second  month  after 
their  departing  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt. 

2  And  the  whole  congregation  of 
the  children  of  Israel  murmured 
against  Moses  and  Aaron  in  the  wil- 
derness: 

EXODUS  XXXIII:  1  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Depart,  and  go  up 
hence,  thou  and  the  people  which  thou 
hast  brought  up  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  unto  the  land  which  I  sware 
unto  Abraham,  to  Isaac,  and  to  Jacob, 
saying.  Unto  thy  seed  will  I  give  it: 

2  And  I  will  send  an  Angel  before 
thee;  and  I  will  drive  out  the  Canaan- 
ite,  the  Amorite,  and  the  Hittite,  and 
the  Perizzite,  the  Hivite,  and  the  Jeb- 
usite: 

EXODUS  vii:7  nAnd  Moses  was 
fourscore  years  old,  and  Aaron  four- 
score and  three  years  old,  when  they 
spake  unto  Pharaoh. 

8  And  the  Ix)rd  spake  unto  Moses 
and  unto  Aaron,  saying, 

9  When  Pharaoh  shall  speak  unto 
you,  saying.  Shew  a  miracle  for  you: 
then  thou  shalt  say  unto  Aaron,  Take 
thy  rod,  and  cast  it  before  Pharaoh, 
and  it  shall  become  a  serpent. 

10  And  Moses  and  Aaron  went  in 
unto  Pharaoh,  and  they  did  so  as  the 
Lord  had  commanded:  and  Aaron  cast 
down  his  rod  before  Pharaoh,  and  be- 
fore his  servants,  and  it  became  a  ser- 
pent. 

11  Then  Pharaoh  also  called  the 
wise  men  and  the  sorcerers:  now  the 
magicians  of  Egypt,  they  also  did  in 
like  manner  with  their  enchantments. 

12  For  they  cast  down  every  man 
his  rod,  and  they  became  serpents:  but 
Aaron's  rod   swallowed  up  their  rods. 

13  And  he  hardened  Pharaoh's 
heart,  that  he  hearkened  not  unto 
them;  as  the  Lord  had  said. 

14  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Pharaoh's  heart  is  hardened,  he  refus- 
eth  to  let  the  people  go. 

PSALM  cv:26       He   sent  Moses   his 


ty  years. 
37     This   is   that   Moses,   which   said 

servant;     and     Aaron     whom     he  had 
chosen. 

27  They  shewed  his  signs  among 
them,  and  wonders  in  the  land  of 
Ham. 

28  He  sent  darkness,  and  made  it 
dark;  and  they  rebelled  not  against 
his  word. 

29  He  turned  their  waters  into 
blood,  and  slew  their  fish. 

30  Their  land  brought  forth  frogs 
in  abundance,  in  the  chambers  of  their 
kings. 

31  He  spake,  and  there  came  divers 
sorts  of  flies,  and  lice  in  all  their 
coasts. 

32  He  gave  them  hail  for  rain,  and 
flaming  fire  in  their  land. 

33  He  smote  their  vines  also  and. 
their  fig  trees;  and  brake  the  trees  of 
their  coasts. 

34  He  spake,  and  the  locusts  came, 
and  caterpillars,  and  that  without 
number, 

35  And  did  eat  up  all  the  herbs  iu 
their  land,  and  devoured  the  fruit  of 
their  ground. 

36  He  smote  also  all  the  firstborn 
in  their  land,  the  chief  of  all  their 
strength. 

37  He  brought  them  forth  also  with 
silver  and  gold:  and  there  was  not 
one  feeble  person  among  their  tribes. 

38  Egypt  was  glad  when  they  de- 
parted: for  the  fear  of  them  fell  upon 
them. 

EXODUS  xiv:21  oAnd  Moses 
stretched  out  his  hand  over  the  sea; 
and  the  Lord  caused  the  sea  to  go 
back  by  a  strong  east  wind  all  that 
night,  and  made  the  sea  dry  land,  and 
the  waters  were  divided. 

27  And  Moses  stretched  forth  his 
hand  over  the  sea,  and  the  sea  returned 
to  his  strength  when  the  morning  ap- 
peared; and  the  Egyptians  fied  against 
it;  and  the  Lord  overthrew  the  Egyp- 
tians in  the  midst  of  the  sea. 

28  And  the  waters  returned,  and 
covered  the  chariots,  and  the  horse- 
men, and  all  the  host  of  Pharaoh  that 
came  into  the  sea  after  them;  there  re- 
mained not  so  much  as  one  of  them. 

29  But  the  children  of  Israel 
walked  upon  dry  land  in  the  midst  of 
the  sea;    and  the  waters  were  a  wall

their  journey  from  Elim,  and  all  the 
congregation  of  the  children  of  Israel 
came  unto  the  wilderness  of  Sin,  which 
is  between  Elim  and  Sinai,  on  the  fif- 
teenth day  of  the  second  month  after 
their  departing  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt. 

35  And  the  children  of  Israel  did 
eat  manna  forty  years,  until  they  came 
to  a  land  inhabited:  they  did  eat  man- 
na, until  they  came  unto  the  borders 
of  the  land  of  Caanan. 

DEUTERONOMY    xviii:15  qThe 

Lord  thy  God  will  raise  up  unto  thee 
a  Prophet  [Jesus]  from  the  midst  of 
thee,  of  thy  brethren,  like  unto  me;

thee,  and  will  put  my  words  in  his 
mouth;  and  he  shall  speak  unto  them 
all  that  I  shall  command  him. 

EXODUS  xix:3  rAnd  Moses  went 
up  unto  God,  and  the  Lord  called  unto 
him  out  of  the  mountain,  saying,  Thus 
Shalt  thou  say  to  the  house  of  Jacob, 
and  tell  the  children  of  Israel; 

4  Ye  have  seen  what  I  did  unto  the 
Egyptians,  and  how  I  bare  you  on 
eagles'  wings,  and  brought  you  unto 
myself. 

5  Now  therefore,  if  ye  will  obey 
my  voice  indeed,  and  keep  my  cove- 
nant, then  ye  shall  be  a  peculiar  treas- 
ure unto  me  above  all  people:  for  all 
the  earth  is  mine: 

6  And  ye  shall  be  unto  me  a  king- 
dom of  priests,  and  a  holy  nation. 
These  are  the  words  which  thou  shalt 
speak  unto  the  children  of  Israel. 

17  And  Moses  brought  forth  the 
people  out  of  the  camp  to  meet  with 
God;  and  they  stood  at  the  nether  part 
of  the  mount. 

ISAIAH  lxiii:9  sin  all  their  afflic-

ceived  the  lively  oracles  to  give  unto 
us: 

39  To  whom  our  fathers  would  not 
obey,  but  thrust  him  from  them,  and 
in  their  hearts  turned  back  again  in- 
to Egypt.

gods  to  go  before  us:    for  as  for  this 

his  presence  saved  them:  in  his  love 
and  in  his  pity  he  redeemed  them; 
and  he  bare  them,  and  carried  them 
all  the  days  of  old. 

EXODUS  XXI  :1  tNow  these  are 
the  judgments  which  thou  shalt  set  be- 
fore them. 

2  If  thou  buy  a  Hebrew  servant, 
six  years  he  shall  serve:  and  in  the 
seventh  he  shall  go  out  free  for  noth- 
ing. 

3  If  he  came  in  by  himself,  he  shall 
go  out  by  himself:  if  he  were  married, 
then  his  wife  shall  go  out  with  him. 

4  If  his  master  have  given  him  a 
wife,  and  she  have  borne  him  sons  or 
daughters;  the  wife  and  her  children 
shall  be  her  master's,  and  he  shall  go 
out  by  himself. 

5  And  if  the  servant  shall  plainly 
say,  I  love  my  master,  my  wife,  and 
my  children;  I  will  not  go  out  free: 

6  Then  his  master  shall  bring  him 
unto  the  judges;  he  shall  also  bring 
him  to  the  door,  or  unto  the  door  post; 
and  his  master  shall  bore  his  ear 
through  with  an  awl;  and  he  shall 
serve  him  for  ever. 

DEUTERONOMY  v:27  Go  thou 
near,  and  hear  all  that  the  Lord  our

speak  unto  thee;  and  we  will  hear  it,

41  vAnd  they  made  a  calf  in  those 
days,  and  offered  sacrifice  unto  the 
idol,  and  rejoiced  in  the  works  of  their 
own  hands. 

42  Then     wGod     turned,    and  gave 


en;  as  it  is  written  in  the  book  of  the 
prophets,  xQ  ye  house  of  Israel,  have 
ye  offered  to  me  slain  beasts  and  sacri- 
fices by  the  space  of  forty  years  in  the 
wilderness? 

43  Yea,  ye  took  up  the  tabernacle 
of  Moloch,  and  the  star  of  your  god 
Rcmphan,    figures   which    ye    made   to 


them  up  to  worship  the  host  of  heav-       worship    them:     and  I   will  carry  you 


make  us  gods,  which  shall  go  before 
us;  for  as  for  this  Moses,  the  man 
that  brought  us  up  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  we  wot  not  what  is  become  of 
him. 

DEUTERONOMY  ix:16  vAnd  1 
looked,  and,  behold,  ye  had  sinned 
against  the  Lord  your  God,  and  had 
made  you  a  molten  calf:  ye  had  turned 
aside  quickly  out  of  the  way  which  the 
Lord  had  commanded  you. 

PSALM  cvi:19  They  made  a  calf 
in  Horeb,  and  worshipped  the  molten 
image. 

PSALM  lxx.\i:ll  wBut  my  people 
would  not  hearken  to  my  voice;  and 
Israel  would  none  of  me. 

12  So  I  gave  them  up  unto  their 
own  hearts'  lust:  and  they  walked  in 
their  own  counsels. 

EZEKIEL  xx:24  Because  they  had 
not  executed  my  judgments,  but  had 
despised  my  statutes,  and  had  polluted 
my  sabbaths,  and  their  eyes  were  af- 
ter their  fathers'  idols. 

25  Wherefore  I  gave  them  also  stat- 
utes that  were  not  good,  and  judg- 
ments whereby  they  should  not  live: 

39  As  for  you,  0  house  of  Israel, 
thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Go  ye,  serve 
ye  every  one  his  idols,  and  hereafter 
also,  if  ye  will  not  hearken  unto  me: 
but  pollute  ye  my  holy  name  no 
more  with  our  gifts,  and  with  your 
idols. 

DEUTERONOMY  iv:19  xAnd  lest 
thou  lift  up  thine  eyes  unto  heaven, 
and  when  thou  seest  the  sun,  and  the 
moon,  and  the  stars,  even  all  the  host 
of  heaven,  shouldest  be  driven  to  wor- 
ship them,  and  serve  them,  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  hath  divided  unto  all 
nations  under  the  whole  heaven. 

DEUTERONOMY'  xvii:2  If  there  be 
found  among  you.  within  any  of  thy 
gates  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee,      man      or    woman,    that    hath 


wrought  wickedness  in  the  sight  of 
the  Lord  thy  God,  in  transgressing  his 
covenant, 

3  And  hath  gone  and  served  other 
gods,  and  worshipped  them,  either  the 
sun,  or  moon,  or  any  of  the  host  of 
heaven,  which  I  have  not  commanded; 

4  And  it  be  told  thee,  and  thou  hast 
heard  of  it,  and  inquired  diligently, 
and,  behold,  it  be  true,  and  the  thing 
certain,  that  such  abomination  is 
wrought  in  Israel: 

5  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth  that 
man  or  that  woman,  which  have  com- 
mitted that  wicked  thing,  unto  thy 
gates,  even  that  man  or  that  woman, 
and  shalt  stone  them  with  stones,  till 
they  die. 

II.  KINGS  xvii:^6  And  they  left 
all  the  commandments  of  the  Lord 
their  God,  and  made  them  molten  im- 
ages, even  two  calves,  and  made  a 
grove,  and  worshipped  all  the  host  of 
heaven,  and  served  Baal. 

II.  KINGS  xxi:3  For  he  [Manas- 
seh]  built  up  again  the  high  places 
which  Hezekiah  his  father  had  de- 
stroyed; and  he  reared  up  altars  for 
Baal,  and  made  a  grove,  as  did  Ahab 
king  of  Israel;  and  worshipped  all  the 
host  of  heaven,  and  served  them. 

JEREMIAH       xix:13  And       the

life. 

NEHEMIAH  ix:14  And  madest 
known  unto  them  thy  holy  sabbath,

thy  servant: 

PSALM  xliv:2  How  thou  didst 
drive  out  the  heathen  with  thy  hand, 
and  plantedst  them;  how  thou  didst 
afflict  the  people,  and  cast  them  out. 

3  For  they  got  not  the  land  in  pos- 
session by  their  5wn  sword,  neither 
did  their  own  arm  save  them:  but  thy 
right  hand,  and  thine  arm,  and  the 
light  of  thy  countenance,  because  thou 
hadst  a  favour  unto  them. 

PSALM  lxxviii:55  He  cast  out  the 
heathen  also  before  them,  and  divided 
them  an  inheritance  by  line,  and  made 
the  tribes  of  Israel  to  dwell  in  their 
tents. 

I.  SAMUEL  XVI  :1  aAnd  the  Lord

him  from  reigning  over  Israel?  fill 
thine  horn  with  oil,  and  go,  I  will  send

sons.

house  of  cedar,  but  the  ark  of  God 
dwelleth  within  curtains.

with  my  holy  oil  have  I  anointed  him: 

I.  KINGS  viii:17  hAnd  it  was  in 
the  heart  of  David  my  father  to  build 
a  house  for  the  name  of  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel. 

18  And  the  Lord  said  unto  David 
my  father.  Whereas  it  was  in  thine 
heart  to  build  a  house  unto  my  name, 
thou  didst  well  that  it  was  in  thine 
heart. 

I.  CHRONICLES  xxii:7  And  David 
said  to  Solomon,  My  son,  as  for  me,  it 
was  in  my  mind  to  build  a  house  unto 
the  name  of  the  Lord  my  God: 

PSALM  cxxxii:4  I  will  not  give 
sleep  to  mine  eyes,  or  slumber  to  mine 
eyelids,

pass  in  the  four  hundred  and  eightieth 
year  after  the  children  of  Israel  were 
come  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  in  the 
fourth  year  of  Solomon's  reign  over 
Israel,  in  the  month  Zif,  which  is 
the  second  month,  that  he  began  to 
build  the  house  of  the  Lord.

and  I  am  risen  up  in  the  room  of  Da-

prepared  in  the  threshingfloor  of  Or- 
nan  the  Jebusite. 

I.  KINGS  viii:27  dBut  will  God  in- 
deed dwell  on  the  earth?  behold,  the 
heaven  and  heaven  of  heavens  cannot

II.  CHRONICLES  ii:tj  But  who  is

heaven  and  heaven  of  heavens  cannot

should  build  him  a  house,  save  only  to 
burn  sacrifice  before  him? 

II.  CHRONICLES  vi:18  But  will 
God  in  very  deed  dwell  with  men  on 
the  earth?  Behold,  heaven  and  the 
heaven  of  heavens  cannot  contain  thee; 
how  much  less  this  house  which  I  have 
built! 

ISAIAH  LXVLl  eThus  saith  the 
Lord,  the  heaven  is  thy  throne,  and 
the  earth  is  my  footstool:  where  is  the 
house  that  ye  build  unto  me?  and 
where  is  the  place  of  my  rest? 

2  For  all  those  things  hath  mine 
hand  made,  and  all  those  things  have 
been,  saith  the  Lord:  but  to  this  man 
will  I  look,  even  to  him  that  is  poor 
and  of  a  contrite  spirit,  and  trembleth 
at  my  word. 

EXODUS  xxxii:9  fAnd  the  Lord

ple, and,  behold,  it  is  a  stiffnecked  peo- 
ple: 

EXODUS  xxxiii:2  And  I  will  send 
an  Angel  before  thee;  and  I  will  drive 
out  the  Canaanite,  the  Amorite,  and  the 
Hittite.  and  the  Perizzite,  the  Hivite, 
and  the  Jebusite: 

3  Unto  a  land  flowing  with  milk 
and  honey:  for  I  will  not  go  up  in  the 
midst  of  thee;  for  thou  art  a  stiff- 
necked  people:  lest  I  consume  thee  in 
the  way. 

IS.\I.\H  xlviii:4  Because  I  knew 
that  thou  art  obstinate,  and  thy  neck 
is  an  iron  sinew,  and  thy  brow  brass; 


build  me?  saith  the  I^rd:    or  what  is 
the  place  of  my  rest? 

50  Hath  not  my  hand  made  all 
these  things? 

51  fYe  stiffnecked  and  Kuncircum- 
cised  in  heart  and  ears,  ye  do  always 
resist  the  Holy  Ghost:  as  your  fathers

LEVITICUS  xxvi:41  KAnd  that  I 
also  have  walked  contrary  unto  them, 
and  have  brought  them  into  the  land 
of  their  enemies;  if  then  their  uncir- 
cumcised  hearts  be  humbled,  and  they 
then  accept  of  the  punishment  of  their 
iniquity: 

42  Then  will  I  remember  my  cove- 
nant with  Jacob,  and  also  my  covenant 
with  Isaac,  and  also  my  covenant  with 
Abraham  will  I  remember;  and  will 
remember  the  land. 

DEUTERONOMY  x:16  Circumcise 
therefore  the  foreskin  of  your  heart, 
and  be  no  more  stiffnecked. 

JEREMIAH  iv:4  Circumcise  your- 
selves to  the  Lord,  and  take  away  the 
foreskins  of  your  heart,  ye  men  of  Ju- 
dah  and  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem;  lest 
my  fury  come  forth  like  fire,  and  burn 
that  none  can  quench  it,  because  of 
the  evil  of  your  doings. 

JEREMIAH  vi:10  To  whom  shall 
I  speak,  and  give  warning,  that  they 
may  hear?  Behold,  their  ear  is  uncir- 
cumcised,  and  they  cannot  hearken: 
behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord  is  unto 
them  a  reproach:  they  have  no  delight 
in  it. 

JEREMIAH  ix:25  Behold,  the  days 
come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will  pun- 
ish all  them  which  are  circumcised  with 
the  uncircumcised: 

26  Egypt,  and  Judah,  and  Edora, 
and  the  children  of  Amnion,  and  Moab, 
and  all  that  are  in  the  utmost  corners, 
that  dwell  in  the  wilderness:  for  all 
these  nations  are  uncircumcised,  and 
all  the  house  of  Israel  are  uncircum- 
cised in  the  heart. 

EZEKIEL  xliv:9  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  No  stranger,  uncircumcised

II.  CHRONICLES  xxxvi:16  hBut 
they  mocked  the  messengers  of  God, 
and  despised  his  words,  and  misused 
his  prophets,  until  the  wrath  of  the 
Lord  arose  against  his  people,  till  there 
was  no  remedy. 

17  Therefore  he  brought  upon  them 
the  king  of  the  Chaldees,  who  slew 
their  young  men  with  the  sword  in  the 
house  of  their  sanctuary,  and  had  no 
compassion  upon  young  man  or  maid- 
en, old  man,  or  him  that  stooped  for 
age:  he  gave  them  all  into  his  hand.

these  words,  saying,

er of  Chebar,  that  the  heavens  were 
opened,  and  I  saw  visions  of  God. 

DANIEL  vii:13  kj  saw  in  the  night 
visions,  and,  behold,  one  like  the  Son 
of  man  came  with  the  clouds  of  heav- 
en, and  came  to  the  Ancient  of  days, 
and  they  brought  him  near  before  him. 
'  14  And  there  was  given  him  domin- 
ion, and  glory,  and  a  kingdom,  that 
all  people,  nations,  and  languages, 
should  serve  him:  his  dominion  is  an 
everlasting  dominion,  which  shall  not 
pass  away,  and  his  kingdom  that  which 
shall  not  be  destroyed.

standing  on  the  right  hand  of  God. 

57  Then  they  cried  out  with  a  loud 
voice,  and  stopped  their  ears,  and  ran 
upon  him  with  one  accord,

great  persecution  against  the  church 
which  was  at  Jerusalem;  and  they  were 
all  scattered  abroad  throughout  the  re- 
gions of  Judsea  and  Samaria,  except 
the  aporitles. 

2  And  devout  men  carried  Stephen 
to  his  Ijurial,  and  amade  great  lamenta- 
tion over  him. 

3  As  for  Saul,  he  made  havoc  of  the

GENESIS    1:10  [The    Israelites]

4  Therefore  they  that  were  scattered 
abroad  went  everywhere  preaching  tho 
word. 

5  Then  Philip  went  down  to  the  city 
of  Samaria,  and  preached  Christ  unto 
them. 

G  And  the  people  with  one  accord 
gave  heed  unto  those  things  which 
Philip  spake,  hearing  and  seeing  the 
miracles  which  he  did. 

7  For  unclean  spirits,  crying  with 
loud  voice,  came  out  of  many  that  were 
possessed  with  them:  and  many  taken 
with  palsies,  and  that  were  blame, 
were  healed.

city. 

9  dBut  there  was  a  certain  man, 
called  Simon,  which  beforetime  in  the

the  people  of  Samaria,  giving  out  that 
himself  was  some  great  one: 

10  To  whom  they  all  gave  heed, 
from  the  least  to  the  greatest,  saying. 
This  man  is  the  great  power  of  God.

cause  that  of  long  time  he  had  be-

12  But  when  they  believed  Philip 
preaching  the  things  concerning  the 
kingdom  of  God,  and  the  name  of  Je- 
sus Christ,  they  were  baptized,  both 
men  and  women. 

13  Then  Simon  himself  believed  al- 
so: and  when  he  was  baptized,  he  con- 
tinued with  Philip,  and  wondered,  be- 
holding the  miracles  and  signs  which 
were  done. 

14  Now  when  the  apostles  which 
were  at  Jerusalem  heard  that  Samaria 
had  received  the  word  of  God,  they 
sent  unto  them  Peter  and  John: 

15  Who,  when  they  were  come 
down,  prayed  for  them,  that  they  might 
receive  the  Holy  Ghost: 

16  (For  as  yet  he  was  fallen  upon 
none  of  them:  only  they  were  baptized 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.) 

17  Then  laid  they  their  hands  on 
them,  and  ethey  received  the  Holy 
Ghost.

through  laying  on  of  the  apostles' 
hands  the  Holy  Ghost  was  given,  he

so  there  were  lice  upon  man,  and  up- 
on beast. 

EXODUS  ix:ll  And  the  magicians 
could  not  stand  before  Moses  because 
of  the  boils;  for  the  boil  was  upon  the

ISAIAH  lxiii:14  eAs  a  beast  goeth

19  Saying,  Give  me  also  this  power, 
that  on  whomsoever  I  lay  hands,  he 
may  receive  the  Holy  Ghost. 

20  But  Peter  said  unto  him.  Thy 
money  perish  with  thee,  because  fthou 
hast  thought  that  the  gift  of  God  may 
be  purchased  with  money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot 
in  this  matter:  for  thy  gheart  is  not 
right  in  the  sight  of  Gpd. 

22  Repent  therefore  of  this  thy 
wickedness,  and  pray  God,  if  perhaps 
the  thought  of  thine  heart  may  be  for- 
given thee. 

23  For  I  perceive  that  thou  art  In 
the  gall  of  bitterness,  and  in  the  bond 
of  iniquity. 

24  Then  answered  Simon,  and  said, 
bPray  ye  to  the  Lord  for  me,  that  none 
of  these  things  which  ye  have  spoken 
come  upon  me. 

25  And  they,  when  they  had  testi- 
fied and  preached  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
returned  to  Jerusalem,  and  preached 
the  gospel  in  many  villages  of  the  Sa- 
maritans. 

26  And  ithe  angel  of  the  Lord  spake

toward  the  south,  unto  the  way  that 
goeth  down  from  Jerusalem  unto  Ga- 
za, which  is  desert. 

27  And  he  arose  and  went:  and,  be- 
hold, a  jman  of  Ethiopia,  a  eunuch  of 
great  authority  under  Candace  queen 
of  the  Ethiopians,  who  had  the  charge 
of  all  her  treasure,  and  had  come  to  Je- 
rusalem for  to  worship, 

28  Was  returning,  and  sitting  in  his 
chariot  read  Isaiah  the  prophet. 

29  Then  the  Spirit  said  unto  Phil- 
ip, Go  near,  and  join  thyself  to  this 
chariot. 

30  And  Philip  ran  thither  to  him, 
and  heard  him  read  the  prophet  Isaiah, 
and  said,  Understandest  thou  what  thou 
readest? 

31  And  he  said,  How  can  I,  except 
some  man  should  guide  me?  And  he 
desired  Philip  that  he  would  come  up 
and  sit  with  him. 

32  The  place  of  the  Scripture  which 
he  read  was  this,  k«He  was  led  as  a 
sheep  to  the  slaughter;  and  like  a  lamb 
dumb  before  his  shearer,  so  opened  he 
not  his  mouth: 

now  seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams, 
and  go  to  my  servant  Job,  and  offer  up 
for  yourselves  a  burnt  offering;  and 
my  servant  Job  shall  pray  for  you:  for 
him  will  I  accept:  lest  I  deal  with  you 
after  your  folly,  in  that  ye  have  not 
spoken  of  me  the  thing  which  is  right, 
like  my  servant  Job.

Septuatfint,  in  Isaiah  liii:  7. 


33  In  his  humiliation  his  judgment 
was  taken  away:  and  who  shall  declare 
his  generation?  for  his  life  Is  taken 
from  the  earth. 

34  And  the  eunuch  answered  Phil- 
ip, and  said,  I  pray  thee,  of  whom 
speaketh  the  prophet  this?  of  himself, 
or  of  some  other  man? 

35  Then  Philip  opened  his  mouth, 
and  began  at  the  same  Scripture,  and 
preached  unto  him  Jesus. 

3G  And  as  they  went  on  their  way, 
they  came  unto  a  certain  water:  and 
the  eunuch  said.  See,  here  is  water; 
what  doth  hinder  me  to  be  baptized? 

37  And  Philip  said,  If  thou  believ- 
est  with  all  thine  heart,  thou  mayest. 
And  he  answered  and  said,  I  believe 
that  Jesus  Christ  is  ithe  Son  of  God. 

38  And  he  commanded  the  chariot 
to  stand  still:  and  they  went  down 
both  into  the  water,  both  Philip  and 
the  eunuch:  and  he  baptized  him. 

39  And  when  they  were  come  up  out 
of  the  water,  mthe  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
caught  away  Philip,  that  the  eunuch 
saw  him  no  more:  and  he  went  on  his 
way  rejoicing.

opened  not  his  mouth:  he  is  brought 
as  a  lamb  to  the  slaughter,  and  as  a 
sheep  before  her  shearers  is  dumb,  so 
he  openeth  not  his  mouth. 

8  He  was  taken  from  prison  and 
from  judgment:  and  who  shall  declare 
his  generation?  for  he  was  cut  off  out 
of  the  land  of  the  living:  for  the  trans-

The  Conversion 


THE  ACTS  IX. 


of  Saul. 


40     But  Philip  was  found  at  Azotus: 

and  passing  through  he  preached  in  all 

the  cities,  till  he  came  to  Caesarea. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Saul  stricken  down  on  his  way  to  Damascus. 
18  He  is  baptized  by  Ananias.  20  He  preached 
Christ.  23  The  Jews  lay  in  wait  to  kill  him.  29 
So  also  did  the  Grecians;  but  he  escaped  from 
both.  31  Peter  healed  Eneas,  and  restored 
Dorcas  to  life. 

1  And  Saul,  yet  breathing  out 
threatenings  and  slaughter  against  the 
disciples  of  the  Lord,  went  unto  the 
high  priest, 

2  And  desired  of  him  letters  to  Da- 
mascus to  the  synagogues,  that  if  he 
found  any  of  this  way,  whether  they 
were  men  or  women,  he  might  bring 
them  bound  unto  Jerusalem. 

3  And  as  he  journeyed,  he  came 
near  Damascus:  and  suddenly  there 
shined  round  about  him  a  light  from 
heaven: 

4  And  he  fell  to  the  earth,  and  heard 
a  voice  saying  unto  him,  Saul,  Saul, 
why  persecutest  thou  me? 

5  And  he  said.  Who  art  thou,  Lord? 
And  the  Lord  said,  I  am  Jesus  whom 
thou  persecutest:  it  is  hard  for  thee  to 
kick  against  the  pricks. 

6  And  he  trembling  and  astonished 
said.  Lord,  what  wilt  thou  have  me  to 
do?  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Arise,  and  go  into  the  city,  and  it  shall 
be  told  thee  what  thou  must  do. 

7  And  nthe  men  which  journeyed 
with  him  stood  speechless,  hearing  a 
voice,  but  seeing  no  man. 

8  And  Saul  arose  from  the  earth; 
and  when  his  eyes  were  opened,  he  saw 
no  man:  but  they  led  him  by  the  hand, 
and  brought  him  into  Damascus. 

9  And  he  was  three  days  without 
sight,  and  neither  did  eat  nor  drink. 

10  And  there  was  a  certain  disciple 

ing,    Blessed    be  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
from  his  place. 

14  So  the  spirit  lifted  me  up,  and 
took  me  away,  and  I  went  in  bitterness, 
in  the  heat  of  my  spirit;  but  the  hand 


at  Damascus,  named  Ananias;  and  to 
him  said  the  Lord  in  a  vision,  Ananias. 
And  he  said.  Behold,  I  am  here.  Lord. 

11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Arise,  and  go  into  the  street  which  is 
called  Straight,  and  inquire  in  the 
house  of  Judas  for  one  called  Saul,  of 
Tarsus:  for,  behold,  he  prayeth, 

12  And  hath  seen  in  a  vision  a  man 
named  Ananias  coming  in,  and  putting 
his  hand  on  him,  that  he  might  receive 
his  sight. 

13  Then  Ananias  answered,  Lord,  I 
have  heard  by  many  of  this  man,  how 
much  evil  he  hath  done  to  thy  saints 
at  Jerusalem: 

14  And  here  he  hath  authority  from 
the  chief  priests  to  bind  all  that  call 
on  thy  name. 

15  But  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go 
thy  way:  for  he  is  a  chosen  vessel  unto 
me,  to  bear  my  name  before  the  Gen- 
tiles, and  kings,  and  the  children  of 
Israel: 

16  For  I  will  shew  him  how  great 
things  he  must  suffer  for  my  name's 
sake. 

17  And  Ananias  went  his  way,  and 
entered  into  the  house;  and  putting  his 
hands  on  him  said,  Brother  Saul,  the 
Lord,  even  Jesus,  that  appeared  unto 
thee  in  the  way  as  thou  camest,  hath 
sent  me,  that  thou  mightest  receive  thy 
sight,  and  be  filled  with  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

18  And  immediately  there  fell  from 
his  eyes  as  it  had  been  scales:  and  he 
received  sight  forthwith,  and  arose,  and 
was  baptized. 

19  And  when  he  had  received  meat, 
he  was  strengthened.  Then  was  Saul 
certain  days  with  the  disciples  whick 
were  at  Damascus.

DANIEL  x:7  nAnd  I  Daniel  alone 
saw  the  vision:  for  the  men  that  were 
with  me  saw  not  the  vision;  but  a  great 
quaking  fell  upon  them,  so  that  they 
fled  to  hide  themselves.

Dorcas  Restored  to  Life 


20  And  straishtway  he  preached 
Christ  in  the  synagogues,  that  he  is 
©the  Son  of  God. 

21  And  all  that  heard  him  were 
amazed,  and  said;  Is  not  this  he  that 
destroyed  them  which  called  on  this 
name  in  Jerusalem,  and  came  hither 
for  that  intent,  that  he  might  bring 
them  bound  unto  the  chief  priests? 

22  But  Saul  increased  the  more  in 
strength,  and  confounded  the  Jewa 
•which  dwelt  at  Damascus,  proving  that 
this  is  very  Christ. 

23  And  after  that  many  days  were 
fulfilled,  the  Jews  took  counsel  to  kill 
him: 

24  But  their  laying  wait  was  known 
of  Saul.  And  they  watched  the  gates 
day  and  night  to  kill  him. 

25  Then  the  disciples  took  him  by 
night,  and  plet  him  down  by  the  wall 
In  a  basket. 

26  And  when  Saul  was  come  to  Je- 
rusalem, he  essayed  to  join  himself  to 
the  disciples:  but  they  were  all  afraid 
of  him,  and  believed  not  that  he  was 
a  disciple. 

27  But  Barnabas  took  him,  and 
brought  him  to  the  apostles,  and  de- 
clared unto  them  how  he  had  seen  the 
Lord  In  the  way,  and  that  he  had  spok- 
en to  him,  and  how  he  had  preached 
boldly  at  Damascus  in  the  name  of  Je- 
sus. 

28  And  he  was  with  them  coming  in 
and  going  out  at  Jerusalem. 

29  And  he  spake  boldly  in  the  name 
of  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  disputed  against 
the    Grecians:    but  they  went  about  to

slay  him. 

30  Which  when  the  brethren  knew, 
they  brought  him  down  to  Caisarea, 
and  sent  him  forth  to  Tarsus. 

31  Then  had  the  churches  rest 
throughout  all  Judaea  and  Galilee  and 
Samaria,  and  were  edified;  and  walk- 
ing in  the  fear  of  the  Lord,  and  in  the 
comfort  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  were  mul- 
tiplied. 

32  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  Peter 
passed  throughout  all  quarters,  he  came 
down  also  to  the  saints  which  dwelt 
at  Lydda. 

33  And  there  he  found  a  certain 
man  named  Eneas,  which  had  kept  his 
bed  eight  years,  and  was  sick  of  the 
palsy. 

34  And  Peter  said  unto  him,  Eneas, 
Jesus  Christ  maketh  thee  whole:  arise, 
and  make  thy  bed.  And  he  arose  Im- 
mediately. 

35  And  all  that  dwelt  at  Lydda  and 
qSharon  saw  him,  and  turned  to  the 
Lord. 

36  Now  there  was  at  Joppa  a  cer- 
tain disciple  named  Tabitha,  which  by 
interpretation  is  called  Dorcas:  this 
woman  was  full  rof  good  works  and 
almdeeds  which  she  did. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass  in  those 
days,  that  she  was  sick,  and  died: 
whom  when  they  had  washed,  they  laid 
her  in  an  upper  chamber. 

38  And  forasmuch  as  Lydda  was 
nigh  to  Joppa,  and  the  disciples  had 
heard  that  Peter  was  there,  they  sent 
unto  him  two  men,  desiring  him  that 
he  would  not  delay  to  come  to  them.

39  Then  Peter  arose  and  went  with 
them.  When  he  was  come,  they 
brought  him  into  the  upper  chamber: 
and  all  the  widows  stood  by  him  weep- 
ing, and  shewing  the  coats  and  gar- 
ments which  Dorcas  made,  while  she 
was  with  them. 

40  But  Peter  put  them  all  forth,  and 
skneeled  down,  and  prayed;  and  turn- 
ing him  to  the  body  said,  Tabitha, 
arise.  And  she  opened  her  eyes:  and 
when  she  saw  Peter,  she  sat  up. 

41  And  he  gave  her  his  hand,  and 
lifted  her  up;  and  when  he  had  called 
the  saints  and  widows,  he  presented 
her  alive. 

42  And  it  was  known  throughout  all 
Joppa;  and  many  believed  in  the  Lord.

ried many  days  in  tJoppa  with  one  Si- 
mon a  tanner.

Cornelius  directed  by  an  angel  to  send  for 
Peter.  As  he  preached  the  Holy  Ghost  fell  on 
them  and  they  were  baptized. 

1  There  was  a  certain  man  in  Cses- 
area  called  Cornelius,  a  centurion  of 
the  band  called  the  Italian  band, 

2  A  adevout  man,  and  one  that 
feared    God  with  all  his  house,  which

himself  upon  the  child  three  times,  and 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord 
my  God,  I  pray  thee,  let  this  child's 
soul  come  into  him  again. 

22  And  the  Lord  heard  the  voice  of 
Elijah;  and  the  soul  of  the  child  came 
into  him. 

II.  CHRONICLES  ii:16  tAnd  we 
[Huram's  men]  will  cut  wood  out  of 
Lebanon,  as  much  as  thou  shalt  need: 
and  we  will  bring  it  to  thee  in  floats 
by  sea  to  Joppa;  and  thou  shalt  carry 
it  up  to  Jerusalem.

evil  unto  you  [Israelites]  to  serve  the 
Lord,  choose  you  this  day  whom  ye  will

gave    much    alms    to    the  people,  and 
prayed  to  God  always. 

3  He  saw  in  a  vision  evidently, 
about  the  ninth  hour  of  the  day,  ban 
angel  of  God  coming  in  to  him,  and 
saying  unto  him,  Cornelius. 

4  And  when  he  looked  on  him,  he 
was  afraid,  and  said.  What  is  it.  Lord? 
And  he  said  unto  him,  cThy  prayers 
and  thine  alms  are  come  up  for  a  me- 
morial before  God. 

5  And  now  send  men  to  Joppa,  and 
call  for  one  Simon,  whose  surname  is 
Peter: 

6  He  lodgeth  with  one  Simon  a  tan- 
ner, whose  house  is  by  the  sea  side:  he 
shall  tell  thee  what  thou  oughtest  to 
do. 

7  And  when  the  angel  which  spake 
unto  Cornelius  was  departed,  he  called 
two  of  his  household  servants,  and  a 
devout  soldier  of  them  that  waited  on. 
him  continually; 

8  And  when  he  had  declared  all 
these  things  unto  them,  he  sent  them 
to  Joppa. 

9  On  the  morrow,  as  they  went  oa 
their  journey,  and  drew  nigh  unto  the 
city,  Peter  went  up  upon  the  housetop 
dto  pray  about  the  sixth  hour:

10  And  he  became  very  hungry,  and 
would  have  eaten:  but  while  they  made 
ready,  he  fell  into  a  trance, 

11  And  saw  heaven  opened,  and  a 
certain  vessel  descending  unto  him,  as 
it  had  been  a  great  sheet  knit  at  the 
four  corners,  and  let  down  to  the 
earth: 

12  Wherein  were  all  manner  of  four- 
footed  beasts  of  the  earth,  and  wild 
beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and  fowls 
of  the  air. 

13  And  there  came  a  voice  to  him. 
Rise,  Peter;   kill,  and  eat. 

14  But  Peter  said,  Not  so,  Lord;  efor 
I  have  never  eaten  anything  that  is 
common  or  unclean. 

15  And    the    voice    spake  unto  him 

Ing,  and  at  noon,  will  I  [David]  pray, 
and  cry  aloud:  and  he  shall  hear  my 
voice.

these  shall  ye  not  eat  of  them  that 
chew  the  cud,  or  of  them  that  divide 
the  hoof:  as  the  camel,  because  he 
cheweth  the  cud,  but  divideth  not  the 
hoof;  he  is  unclean  unto  you. 

7  And  the  swine,  though  he  divide 
the  hoof,  and  be  cloventooted,  yet  he 
cheweth  not  the  cud;  he  is  unclean  to 
you. 

8  Of  their  flesh  shall  ye  not  eat, 
and  their  carcass  shall  ye  not  touch; 
they  are  unclean  to  you. 

LEVITICUS  xx:25  Ye  shall  there- 
fore put  difference  between  clean 
beasts  and  unclean,  and  between  un- 
clean fowls  and  clean:  and  ye  shall  not 
make  your  souls  abominable  by  beast, 
or  by  fowl,  or  by  any  manner  of  living 
thing  that  creepeth  on  the  ground, 
which  I  have  separated  from  you  as 
unclean.

not  eat  any  abominable  thing.

ney: for  they  chew  the  cud,  but  divide

cleansed,  that  call  not  thou  common. 

16  This  was  done  thrice:  and  the 
vessel  was  received  up  again  into 
heaven. 

17  Now  while  Peter  doubted  in 
himself  what  this  vision  which  he  had 
seen  should  mean,  behold,  the  men 
which  were  sent  from  Cornelius  had 
made  inquiry  for  Simon's  house,  and 
stood  before  the  gate, 

18  And  called,  and  asked  whether 
Simon,  which  was  surnamed  Peter, 
were  lodged  there. 

19  While  Peter  thought  on  the  vis- 
ion, fthe  Spirit  said  unto  him.  Behold, 
three  men  seek  thee.

cass.

down,    and    go    with   them,  doubting 
nothing:  for  I  have  sent  them. 

21  Then  Peter  went  down  to  the 
men  which  were  sent  unto  him  from 
Cornelius;  and  said,  Behold,  I  am  he 
whom  ye  seek:  what  is  the  cause 
wherefore  ye  are  come? 

22  And  they  said,  Cornelius  the 
centurion,  a  just  man,  and  one  that 
feareth  God,  and  of  good  report  among 
all  the  nation  of  the  Jews,  was 
warned  from  God  by  a  holy  angel  to 
send  for  thee  into  his  house,  and  to 
hear  words  of  thee. 

23  Then  called  he  them  in,  and 
lodged  them.  And  on  the  morrow 
Peter  went  away  with  them,  and  cer- 
tain brethren  from  Joppa  accompa- 
nied him. 

24  And  the  morrow  after  they  en- 
tered into  Caesarea.  And  Cornelius 
waited  for  them,  and  had  called  to- 
gether his  kinsmen  and  near  friends. 

25  And  as  Peter  was  coming  in, 
Cornelius  met  him,  and  fell  down  at 
his  feet,  and  worshipped  him. 

26  But  Peter  took  him  up,  saying. 
Stand  up;   I  myself  also  am  a  man. 

27  And  as  he  talked  with  him,  he 
went  in,  and  found  many  that  were 
come  together. 

28  And  he  said  unto  them,  Ye  know 
how  that  it  is  an  unlawful  thing  for  a 
man  that  is  a  Jew  to  keep  company,  or 
come  unto  one  of  another  nation;  but 
God  hath  shewed  me  that  I  should  not 
call  any  man  common  or  unclean. 

29  Therefore  came  I  unto  you  with- 
in him: 

DANIEL  x:12  gThen  said  he  unto 
me,  Fear  not,  Daniel:  for  from  the 
first  day  that  thou  didst  set  thine  heart 
to  understand,  and  to  chasten  thyself 
before  thy  God,  thy  words  were  heard, 
and  I  am  come  for  thy  words. 

DEUTERONOMY  x:17  hFor  the 
Lord  your  God  is  God  of  gods,  and 
Lord  of  lords,  a  great  God,  a  mighty, 
and  a  terrible,  which  regardeth  not 
persons,  nor  taketh  reward: 


out  gainsaying,  as  soon  as  I  was  sent 
for:  I  ask  therefore  for  what  intent 
ye  have  sent  for  me? 

30  And  Cornelius  said,  Four  days 
ago  I  was  fasting  until  this  hour;  and 
at  the  ninth  hour  I  prayed  in  my 
house,  and,  behold,  a  man  stood  before 
me  in  bright  clothing, 

31  And  said,  Cornelius,  gthy  prayer 
is  heard,  and  thine  alms  are  had  in 
remembrance  in  the  sight  of  God. 

32  Send  therefore  to  Joppa,  and 
call  hither  Simon,  whose  surname  is 
Peter;  he  is  lodged  in  the  house  of  one 
Simon  a  tanner  by  the  seaside:  who, 
when  he  cometh,  shall  speak  unto  thee. 

33  Immediately  therefore  I  sent 
to  thee;  and  thou  hast  well  done  that 
thou  art  come.  Now  therefore  are  we 
all  here  present  before  God,  to  hear 
all  things  that  are  commanded  thee  of 
God. 

34  Then  Peter  opened  his  mouth, 
and  said,  hOf  a  truth  I  perceive  that 
God  is  no  respecter  of  persons: 

35  But  in  every  nation  he  that  fear- 
eth him,  and  worketh  righteousness, 
is  accepted   with  him. 

36  The  word  which  God  sent  unto 
the  children  of  Israel,  ipreaching  peace 
by  Jesus  Christ:    (he  is  Lord  of  all:) 

37  That  word,  I  say,  ye  know, 
which  was  published  throughout  all 
Judaea,  and  began  from  Galilee,  after 
the  baptism  which  John  preached; 

38  How  God  anointed  Jesus  of 
Nazareth  with  the  Holy  Ghost  and  with 
power:    who   went   about   doing  good, 

H.  CHRONICLES  xix:7  Wherefore 
now  let  the  fear  of  the  Lord  be  up- 
on you;  take  heed  and  do  it:  for  there 
is  no  iniquity  with  the  Lord  our  God, 
nor  respect  of  persons,  nor  taking  of 
gifts. 

ISAIAH  lvii:19  U  create  the  fruit  of 
the  lips;  Peace,  peace  to  him  that  is 
far  off,  and  to  him  that  is  near,  saith 
the  Lord;  and  I  will  heal  him. 

20  But  the  wicked  are  like  the 
troubled     sea,     when    it    cannot  rest.

and  healing  all  that  were  oppressed  of 
the  devil;   for  God  was  with  him. 

39  And  we  are  witnesses  of  all 
things  which  he  did  both  in  the  land 
of  the  Jews,  and  in  Jerusalem;  whom 
they  slew  and  hanged  on  a  tree: 

40  Him  God  raised  up  the  third  day, 
and  shewed  him  openly; 

41  Not  to  all  the  people,  but  unto 
witnesses  chosen  before  of  God,  even 
to  us,  who  did  eat  and  drink  with  him 
after  he  rose  from  the  dead. 

42  And  he  commanded  us  to  preach 
unto  the  people,  and  to  testify  that  it 
is  he  which  was  ordained  of  God  to 
be  the  Judge  of  quick  and  dead. 

43  JTo  him  give  all  the  prophets 
witness,  that  through  his  name  who- 
soever believeth  in  him  shall  receive 
remission  of  sins. 

44  While  Peter  yet  spake  these 
words,  the  Holy  Ghost  fell  on  all  them 
which  heard  the  word.

ISAIAH  liii:ll  JHe  [Christ]  shall 
see  of  the  travail  of  his  soul,  and  shall 
be  satisfied:  by  his  knowledge  shall 
my  righteous  servant  justify  many; 
for  he  shall  bear  their  iniquities. 

JEREMIAH  xxxi:34  And  they  shall 
teach  no  more  every  man  his  neigh- 
bour, and  every  man  his  brother,  say- 
ing. Know  the  Lord:  for  they  shall  all 
know  me,  from  the  least  of  them  unto 
the  greatest  of  them,  saith  the  Lord: 
for  I  will  forgive  their  iniquity,  and  I 
will  remember  their  sin  no  more. 

DANIEL  ix:24  Seventy  weeks  are 
determined  upon  thy  people  and  upon 
thy  holy  city  [Jerusalem],  to  finish  the 
transgression,  and  to  make  an  end  of 
sins,  and  to  make  reconciliation  for  in- 
iquity, and  to  bring  in  everlasting 
righteousness,  and  to  seal  up  the  vis- 
ion and  prophecy,  and  to  anoint  the 
Most  Holy. 

MIC  AH  vii:18  Who  is  a  God  like 
unto  thee,  that  pardoneth  iniquity,  and 
passeth  by  the  transgression  of  the 
remnant  of  his  heritage?  he  retaineth 
not  his  anger  for  ever,  because  he  de- 
lighteth   in  mercy. 

ZECHARIAH    XIII:  1     In     that    day 


45  And  they  of  the  circumcision 
which  believed  were  astonished,  as 
many  as  came  with  Peter,  because  that 
on  the  Gentiles  also  was  poured  out 
the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

46  For  they  heard  them  speak  with 
tongues,  and  magnify  God.  Then  an- 
swered Peter, 

47  Can  any  man  forbid  water,  that 
these  should  not  be  baptized,  which 
have  received  the  Holy  Ghost  as  well 
as  we? 

48  And  he  commanded  them  to  be 
baptized  in  the  name  of  the  Lord.  Then 
prayed  they  him  to  tarry  certain  days. 

CHAPTER  XL 

Peter  made  his  defense  for  going  to  the  Gen- 
tiles. 19  The  Gosixil  was  preached  in  Phenice. 
Cyprus,  and  Antioi-h;  many  were  converted. 
22  Barnabas  was  sent  to  Antioch.  He  went  to 
Tarsus  and  returned  with  Saul. 

1    And    the    apostles    and  brethren 

that  were    in    Judaea   heard    that   the 

aGentiles  had  also  received  the  word 

of  God.

Peter  Questioned  for 


THE  ACTS  XI. 


Visiting  Cornelius. 


2  And  when  Peter  was  come  up  to 
Jerusalem,  they  that  were  of  the  bcir- 
cumcision  contended  with  him, 

3  Saying,  thou  wentest  in  to  men 
uncircumcised,  and  didst  eat  with 
them. 

4  But  Peter  rehearsed  the  matter 
from  the  beginning,  and  expounded  it 
by  order  unto  them,  saying, 

5  I  was  in  the  city  of  Joppa  pray- 
ing: and  in  a  trance  I  saw  a  vision,  A 

light  thing  that  thou  shouldest  be  my 
servant  to  raise  up  the  tribes  of  Ja- 
cob, and  to  restore  the  preserved  of  Is- 
rael: I  will  also  give  thee  for  a  light 
to  the  Gentiles,  that  thou  mayest  be 
my  salvation  unto  the  end  of  the  earth. 

22  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Be- 
hold, I  will  lift  up  mine  hand  to  the 
Gentiles,  and  set  up  my  standard  to 
the  people:  and  they  shall  bring  thy 
sons  in  their  arms,  and  thy  daughters 
shall  be  carried  upon  their  shoulders. 

ISAIAH  Ix:  3  And  the  Gentiles  shall 
come  to  thy  light,  and  kings  to  the 
brightness  of  thy    rising. 

JEREMIAH  xvi:19  0  Lord,  my 
strength,  and  my  fortress,  and  my  ref- 
uge in  the  day  of  affliction,  the  Gen- 
tiles shall  come  unto  thee  from  the 
ends  of  the  earth,  and  shall  say.  Sure- 
ly our  fathers  have  inherited  lies,  van- 
ity, and  things  wherein  there  is  no 
profit. 

MALACHI  i:ll  For,  from  the  rising 
of  the  sun  even  unto  the  going  down 
of  the  same,  my  name  shall  be  great 
among  the  Gentiles;  and  in  every  place 
incense  shall  be  offered  unto  my  name, 
and  a  pure  offering:  for  my  name  shall 
be  great  among  the  heathen,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

GENESIS  xvii:14  bAnd  the  uncir- 
cumcised man  child  whose  flesh  of  his 
foreskin  is  not  circumcised,  that  soul 
shall  be  cut  off  from  his  people;  he 
hath   broken   my  covenant. 

EXODUS  xii:48  And  when  a  stran- 
ger shall  sojourn  with  thee,  and 
will  keep  the  passover  to  the  Lord,  let 
all  his  males  be  circumcised,  and  then 
let  him  come  near  and  keep  it;  and  he 
shall  be  as  one  that  is  born  in  the  land: 
for  no  uncircumcised  person  shall  eat 
thereof. 

JUDGES  xiv:3    Then  his  father  and 


certain  vessel  descend,  as  it  had  been 
a  great  sheet,  let  down  from  heaven 
by  four  corners;  and  it  came  even  to 
me: 

6  Upon  the  which  when  I  had  fas- 
tened mine  eyes,  I  considered,  and  saw 
fourfooted  beasts  of  the  earth,  and 
wild  beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and 
fowls  of  the  air. 

7  And  I  heard  a  voice  saying  unto 
me,  *Arise,  Peter;  slay  and  eat. 

his  mother  said  unto  him.  Is  there 
never  a  woman  among  the  daughters 
of  thy  brethren,  or  among  all  thy  peo- 
ple, that  thou  goest  to  take  a  wife  of 
the  uncircumcised  Philistines?  And 
Samson  said  unto  his  father.  Get  her 
for  me;  for  she  pleaseth  me  well. 

I.  SAMUEL  xvii:26  And  David 
spake  to  the  men  that  stood  by 
him,  saying.  What  shall  tee 
done  to  the  man  that  killeth  this 
Philistine,  and  taketh  away  the  re- 
proach from  Israel?  for  who  is  this 
uncircumcised  Philistine,  that  he 
should  defy  the  armies  of  the  living 
God? 

36  Thy  servant  slew  both  the  lion 
and  the  bear:  and  this  uncircumcised 
Philistine  shall  be  as  one  of  them,  see- 
ing he  hath  defied  the  armies  of  the 
living  God. 

ISAIAH  LII:1  Awake,  awake,  put 
on  thy  strength,  0  Zion;  put  on  thy 
beautiful  garments,  O  Jerusalem,  the 
holy  City:  for  henceforth  there  shall 
no  more  come  unto  thee  the  uncir- 
cumcised and  the  unclean. 

JEREMIAH  vi:10  To  whom  shall  I 
speak,  and  give  warning,  that  they  may 
hear?  Behold,  their  ear  is  uncircum- 
cised, and  they  cannot  hearken:  be- 
hold, the  word  of  the  Lord  is  unto 
them  a  reproach;  they  have  no  de- 
light in  it. 

JEREMIAH  ix:26  Egypt,  and  Ju- 
dah,  and  Edom,  and  the  children  of 
Ammon.  and  Moab,  and  all  that  are  in 
the  utmost  corners,  that  dwell  in  the 
wilderness:  for  all  these  nations  are 
uncircumcised,  and  all  the  house  of 
Israel  are  uncircumcised  in  the  heart. 

*  Some  people  think  Peter  ate  toads,  snakes, 
hawks,  crows,  huzzards.  and  every  other  kind 
of  creature.  Peter  explained  this  was  to  show 
him  that  he  could  visit  a  person  who  was  not  a 
Jew.    See  Acts  x:  28;  xi:  5-12.

THE  ACTS  XI. 


his  Vision, 


8  But  I  said,  Not  so.  Lord:  for 
inothing  common  or  unclean  hath  at 
any  time  entered  into  ray  mouth. 

9  But  the  voice  answered  me  again 
from  heaven,  What  God  hath  cleansed, 
that  call  not  thou  common. 

10  And  this  was  done  three  times: 
and  all  were  drawn  up  again  into 
heaven. 

EZEKIEL  lxiv:7  In  that  ye  have 
brought  into  my  sanctuary  strangers, 
uucircumcised  in  heart,  and  uncir- 
cunicised  in  flesh,  to  be  in  my 
sanctuary,  to  pollute  it,  even  my  house, 
when  ye  offer  my  bread,  the  fat  and  the 
blood,  and  they  have  broken  my  cov- 
enant because  of  all  your  abomina- 
tions. 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  No 
stranger,  uncircumcised  in  heart,  nor 
uncircumcised  in  flesh,  shall  enter  in- 
to my  sanctuary,  of  any  stranger  that 
is  among  the  children  of  Israel. 

EXODUS  xxii:31  cAnd  ye  shall  be 
holy  men  unto  me:  neither  shall  ye  eat 
any  flesh  that  is  torn  of  beasts  in  the 
field:  ve  shall  cast  it  to  the  dogs. 

LEVITICUS  xi:39  And  if  any  beast, 
of  which  ye  may  eat,  die;  he  that 
toucheth  the  carcass  thereof  shall  be 
unclean   until    the   even. 

40  And  he  that  eateth  of  the  car- 
cass of  it  shall  wash  his  clothes,  and 
be  unclean  until  the  even:  he  also  that 
beareth  the  carcass  of  it  shall  wash  his 
clothes,  and  be  unclean  until  the  even. 

LEVITICUS  xvii:15  And  every  soul 
that  eateth  that  which  died  of  itself,  or 
that  which  was  torn  with  beasts, 
whether  it  be  one  of  your  own  country, 
or  a  stranger,  he  shall  both  wash  his 
clothes,  and  bathe  himself  in  water,  and 
be  unclean  until  the  even:  then  shall 
he  be  clean. 

16  But  if  he  wash  them  not,  nor 
bathe  his  flesh;  then  he  shall  bear  his 
iniquity. 

DEUTERONOMY  xiv:2  For  thou

were  three  men  already  come  unto  the 
house  where  1  was,  sent  from  Caesarea 
unto  me. 

12  And  the  dSpirit  bade  me  go  with 
them,  nothing  doubting.  Moreover 
these  six  brethren  accompanied  me,  ajid 
we  entered  into  the  man's  house: 

13  And  he  shewed  us  how  he  had 

was  not  good,  after  their  own 
thoughts; 

4  Which  remain  among  the  graves, 
and  lodge  in  the  monuments;  which 
eat  swine's  flesh,  and  broth  of  abom- 
inable things  is  in  their  vessels; 

EZEKIEL  iv:14  Then  said  I,  Ah 
Lord  God!  behold,  my  soul  hath  not 
been  polluted:  for  from  my  youth  up 
even  till  now  have  I  not  eaten  of  that 
which  dieth  of  itself,  or  is  torn  in 
pieces;  neither  came  there  abominable 
flesh  into  my  mouth.

salvation;  and  uphold  me  with  thy  free 
Spirit.

ing upon  his  ass,  and  his  two  serv- 
ants were  with  him. 

27  And  when  the  ass  saw  the  an- 
gel of  the  Lord,  she  fell  down  under 
Balaam:  and  Balaam's  anger  was 
kindled,  and  he  smote  the  ass  with  a

his  sword  drawn  in  his  hand:  and  he 
bowed  down  his  head^  and  fell  flat  on 
his  face.

unto  him.  Wherefore  hast  thou  smit-

because  thy  way  is  perverse  before 
me:

fHoly  Ghost  fell  on  them,  as  on  us  at 
the  beginning. 

16  Then  remembered  I  the  word 
of  the  Lord,  how  that  he  said,  John 
Indeed  baptized  with  water,  but  xye 
shall  be  baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

17  Forasmuch  then  as  God  gave 
them  the  like  gift  as  he  did  unto  us, 
who  believed  on  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  what  was  I,  that  I  could  with- 
stand   God? 

18  When  they  heard  these  things, 
they  held  their  peace,  and  glorified 
God,  saying,  Then  hath  God  also  to 
the  Gentiles  granted  repentance  unto 
life. 

19  Now  they  that  were  scattered 
abroad  upon  the  persecution  that 
arose  about  Stephen  travelled 
as    far    as    Phenice,  and  Cyprus,  and 

JUDGES  vi:22  And  when  Gideon

God!  for  because  I  have  seen  an  an- 
gel of  the  Lord  face  to  face. 

23  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Peace  be  unto  thee;  fear  not:  thou 
Shalt  not  die. 

I.  KINGS  xix:5  And  as  he  [Eli- 
jah] lay  and  slept  under  a  juniper 
tree,  behold,  then  an  angel  touched 
him,  and  said  unto  him,  Arise  and 
eat. 

6  And  he  looked,  and,  behold, 
there  was  a  cake  baken  on  the  coals, 
and  a  cruse  of  water  at  his  head. 
And  he  did  eat  and  drink,  and  laid 
him  down  again. 

7  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  came 
again  the  second  time,  and  touched 
him,  and  said,  Arise  and  eat;  be- 
cause the  journey  is  too  great  for 
thee. 

8  And  he  arose,  and  did  eat  and 
drink,  and  went  in  the  strength  of 
that  meat  forty  days  and  forty  nights 
unto  Horeb   the  mount  of  God. 

I.  CHRONICLES  xxi:16  And  Da- 
vid lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  the 
angel  of  the  Lord  stand  between  the 
earth  and  the  heaven,  having  a  drawn 
sword  in  his  hand  stretched  out  over 
Jerusalem.  Then  David  and  the  el- 
ders   of    Israel,  who  were  clothed   In 


Antioch,  preaching  the  word  to  none

they  were  come  to  Antioch,  spake 
unto  the  Grecians,  preaching  the 
Lord  Jesus. 

21  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
with  them:  and  a  great  number  be- 
lieved,  and   turned  unto  the  Lord. 

22  Then  tidings  of  these  things 
came  unto  the  ears  of  the  church 
which  was  in  Jerusalem:  and  they 
sent  forth  Barnabas,  that  he  should 
go  as  far  as  Antioch. 

23  Who,  when  he  came,  and  had

lull  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and  of  faith: 
and  much  people  was  added  unto 
the  Lord. 

25  Then  departed  Barnabas  to 
Tarsus,  for  to  seek  Saul: 

26  And  when  he  had  found  him, 
lie  brought  him  unto  Antioch.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  that  a  whole  year 
they  assembled  themselves  with  the 
church,  and  taught  much  people. 
And  the  disciples  were  called  Chris- 
tians  first  in   Antioch,

phets    from   Jerusalem   unto   Antioch.

Spirit  that  there  should  be  great 
dearth  throughout  all  the  world:

Claudius  Caesar.

according  to  his  ability,  determined 
to  send  irelief  unto  the  brethren 
which    dwelt   in  Judsea:

the  king  stretched  forth  his  hands  to 
vex  certain  of  the  church.

the  Jews,  he  proceeded  further  to 
take  Peter  also.  (Then  were  Khe 
days   of   unleavened   bread.)

soldiers  to  keep  him;  intending  after 
Easter  to  bring  him  forth  to  the  peo-

the  keepers  before  the  door  kept  the

Lord  came  upon  him,  and  a  light 
shined  in  the  prison:  and  he  smote 
Peter  on  the  side,  and  raised  him  up, 
saying.  Arise  up  quickly:  and  his 
chains  fell  off  from  his  hands. 

8  And  the  angel  said  unto  him, 
Gird  thyself,  and  bind  on  thy  san- 
dals: and  so  he  did.  And  he  saith 
unto  him,  Cast  thy  garment  about

and  the  second  ward,  they  came  unto 
the  iron  gate  that  leadeth  into  the 
city;  which  opened  to  them  of  his 
own  accord:  and  they  went  out,  and 
passed  on  through  one  street;  and 
forthwith  the  angel  departed  from 
him. 

11  And  when  Peter  was  come  to 
himself,  he  said,  Now  I  know  of  a 
surety,  that  Uhe  Lord  hath  sent  his 
angel,  and  ghath  delivered  me  out  of 

mouths,  that  they  have  not  hurt  me;

Mary  the  mother  of  John,  whose  sur- 
name was  Mark;  where  many  were 
gathered  together  praying.

door  of  the  gate,  a  damsel  came  to 
hearken,  named  Rhoda.

Toice,  she  opened  not  the  gate  for 
gladness,  but  ran  in,  and  told  how 
Peter  stood  before  the  gate. 

15  And  they  said  unto  her,  Thou 
art  mad.  But  she  constantly  affirmed 
that  it  was  even  so.  Then  said  they, 
hit  is  his  angel.

and  when  they  had  opened  the  door, 
and  saw  him,  they  were  astonished.

with  the  hand  to  hold  their  peace,  de- 
clared unto  them  how  the  Lord  had 
brought  him  out  of  the  prison.  And

and  fasted,  the  Holy  Ghost  said,  aSep-

work    whereunto  I  have  called  them.

and  confess  the  sins  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  which  we  have  sinned  against 
thee:  both  I  and  my  father's  house 
have  sinned. 

NEHEMIAH  iv:9  Nevertheless 
we  [Jews]  have  made  our  prayer  un- 
to our  God,  and  set  a  watch  against 
them  [our  enemies]  day  and  night, 
because  of  them.

and  from  thence  they  sailed  to  Cy- 
prus. 

5  And  when  they  were  at  Salamis, 
they  preached  the  word  of  God  in  the 
synagogues  of  the  Jews:  and  they  had 
also  John  to  their  minister. 

6  And  when  they  had  gone  through 
the  isle  unto  Paphos,  they  found  a  cer- 
tain scorcerer,  a  false  prophet,  a  Jew, 
whose  name  was  Barjesus: 

7  Which  was  with  the  deputy  of  the 
country,  Sergius  Paulus,  a  prudent 
man;  who  called  for  Barnabas  and 
Saul,  and  desired  to  hear  the  word  of 
God.

ISAIAH  Ixiii:ll  Then  he  [the 
Lord]  remembered  the  days  of  old, 
Moses,  and  his  people,  saying.  Where 
is  he  that  brought  them  up  out  of  the 
sea  with  the  shepherd  of  his  flock? 
where  is  he  that  put  his  Holy  Spirit 
within  him? 

ZECHARIAH  iv:6  Then  he  [the 
angel]  answered  and  spake  unto  me 
[Zechariah],  saying.  This  is  the  word 
of  the  Lord  unto  Zerubbabel,  saying. 
Not  by  might,  nor  by  power,  but  by 
my   Spirit,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

EXODUS  viii:16  eAnd  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Say  unto  Aaron, 
Stretch  out  thy  rod,  and  smite  the  dust 
of  the  land,  that  it  may  become  lice 
throughout  all  the  land  of  Egypt. 

17  And  they  did  so;  for  Aaron 
stretched  out  his  hand  with  his  rod. 
and  smote  the  dust  of  the  earth,  and  it 
became  lice  in  man,  and  in  beast;  all 
the  dust  of  the  land  became  lice 
throughout  all  the  land  of  Egypt. 

18  And  the  magicians  did  so  with 
their  enchantments  to  bring  forth 
lice,  but  they  could  not:  so  there  were 
lice  upon  man,  and  upon  beast. 

19  Then  the  magicians  said  unto 
Pharaoh.  This  is  the  finger  of  God: 
and  Pharaoh's  heart  was  hardened,  and

deputy  from  the  faith. 

9  Then  Saul,  (who  also  is  called 
Paul,)  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  set 
his  eyes  on  him, 

10  And  said,  0  full  of  all  subtilty 
and  all  mischief,  thou  child  of  the 
devil,  thou  enemy  of  all  righteous- 
ness, wilt  thou  not  cease  to  pervert  the 
right  ways  of  the  Lord? 

11  And  now,  behold,  fthe  hand  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  me,  and  thou  shalt 
be  blind,  not  seeing  the  sun  for  a  sea- 
son. And  immediately  there  fell  on 
him  a  mist  and  a  darkness;  and  he 
went  about  seeking  some  to  lead 
him  by  the  hand. 

12  Then  the  deputy,  when  he  saw 
what  was  done,  believed,  being  aston- 
ished  at   the    doctrine   of  the   Lord. 

he  hearkened  not  unto  them;  as  the 
Lord  had  said. 

EXODUS  ix:3  fBehold,  the  hand  of 
the  Lord  is  upon  thy  cattle  which  is  in 
the  field,  upon  the  horses,  upon  the 
asses,  upon  the  camels,  upon  the  oxen, 
and  upon  the  sheep:  there  shall  be  a 
very  grievous  murrain. 

4  And  the  Lord  shall  sever  between 
the  cattle  of  Israel  and  the  cattle  of 
Egypt:  and  there  shall  nothing  die  of 
all  that   is  the  children's  of  Israel. 

I.  SAMUEL  v:6  But  the  hand  of  the 
Lord  was  heavy  upon  them  of  Ashod, 
and  he  destroyed  them,  and  smote 
them  with  emerods,  even  Ashdod  and 
the  coasts  thereof. 

II.  KINGS  vi:18  And  when  they 
[the  Syrian  army]  came  down  to  him, 
Elisha  prayed  unto  the  Lord,  and  said. 
Smite  this  people,  I  pray  thee,  with 
blindness.  And  he  smote  them  with 
blindness  according  to  the  word  of 
Elisha.

pany loosed  from  Paphos,  they  came 
to  Perga  in  Pamphylia:  and  John  de- 
parting from  them  returned  to  Jerusa- 
lem. 

14  But  when  they  departed  from 
Perga,  they  came  to  Antioch  in  Pisi- 
dia,  and  went  into  the  synagogue  on 
the  Sabbath  day,  and  sat  down. 

15  And  after  the  greading  of  the 
law  and  the  prophets,  the  rulers  of  the 
synagogue  sent  unto  them,  saying.  Ye 
men  and  brethren,  if  ye  have  any  word 
of  exhortation  for  the  people,  say  on. 

16  Then  Paul  stood  up,  and  beck- 
oning with  his  hand  said.  Men  of  Is- 
rael, and  ye  that  fear  God,  give  audi- 
ence. 

17  The  God  of  this  people  of  Israel 
hchose  our  fathers,    and    exalted    the 

that  could  understand;  and  the  ears  of 
all  the  people  were  attentive  unto  the 
book  of  the  law. 

5  And  Ezra  opened  the  book  in  the 
sight  of  all  the  people;  (for  he  was 
above  all  the  people;)  and  when  he 
opened  it,  all  the  people  stood  up: 

6  And  Ezra  blessed  the  Lord,  the 
great  God.  And  all  the  people  an- 
swered. Amen,  Amen,  with  lifting  up 
their  hands;  and  they  bowed  their 
heads,  and  worshipped  the  Lord  with 
their  faces  to  the  ground. 

DEUTERONOMY  vii:6  hFor  thou 
art  a  holy  people  unto  the  Lord  thy 
God:  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chosen 
thee  to  be  a  special  people  unto  him- 
self, above  all  people  that  are  upon  the 
face  of  the  earth. 

7  The  Lord  did  not  set  his  love  up- 
on you,  nor  choose  you,  because  ye 
were  more  in  number  than  any 
people;  for  ye  were  the  fewest  of  all 
people:

ye  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  your 
God,  which  bringeth  you  out  from  un-

come,  saying.  What  is  this?  [the  re-

Shalt  say  unto  him.  By  strength  of

Egypt  from  the  house  of  bondage: 

16  And  it  shall  be  for  a  token  up- 
on thine  hand  and  for  frontlets  be-

seven  nations  in  the  land  of  Chanaan, 
mhe  divided  their  land  to  them  by  lot,

them  judges  about  the  space  of  four 
hundred  and   fifty  years,  ountil   Sam-

Lord  thy  God  shall  bring  thee  into  the 
land  whither  thou  goest  to  possess  it,

thee,  the  Hittites,  and  the  Girgashites, 
and  the  Amorites,  and  the  Canaanites, 
and  the  Perizzites,  and  the  Hivites,  and 
the  Jebusites,  seven  nations  greater

deliver  them  before  thee;  thou  shalt 
smite  them,  and  utterly  destroy  them; 
thou  Shalt  make  no  covenant  with 
them,   nor   shew   mercy   unto   them:

inheritance,  as  the  Lord  commanded  by 
the  hand  of  Moses,  for  the  nine  tribes, 
and  for  the  half  tribe. 

PSALM  lxxviii:55  He  cast  out  the 
heathen  also  before  them,  and  divided 
them  an  inheritance  by  line,  and  made 
the  tribes  of  Israel  to  dwell  in  their 
tents. 

56  Yet  they  tempted  and  provoked 
the  most  high  God,  and  kept  not  his 
testimonies: 

57  But  turned  back,  and  dealt  un- 
faithfully like  their  fathers:  they 
were  turned  aside  like  a  deceitful  bow. 

JUDGES  ii:16  nNevertheless  the 
Lord  raised  up  judges,  which  delivered 
them  out  of  the  hand  of  those  that 
spoiled  them. 

17  And  yet  they  would  not  hearken 
unto  their  judges,  but  they  went  a 
whoring  after  other  gods,  and  bowed 
themselves  unto  them:  they  turned 
quickly  out  of  the  way  which  their 
fathers  walked  In,  obeying  the  com- 
mandments of  the  Lord;  but  they  did 
not  so.

art  old,  and  thy  sons  walk  not  in  thy 
ways:  now  make  us  a  king  to  judge  us 
like  all  the  nations. 

I.  SAMUEL  X:l  Then  Samuel  took 
a  vial  of  oil,  and  poured  it  upon  his 
[Saul's]  head,  and  kissed  him,  and  said. 
Is  it  not  because  the  Lord  hath  anoint-

ance? 

I.  SAMUEL  xv:23  qFor  rebellion  is 
as  the  sin  of  witchcraft,  and  stubborn-

word  of  the  Lord,  he  hath  also  reject- 
ed  thee  from  being  king. 

26  And  Samuel  said  unto  Saul,  I  will 
not  return  with  thee:  for  thou  hast  re- 
jected the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  the 
Lord  hath  rejected  thee  from  being 
king  over  Israel.

Lord  hath  rent  the  kingdom  of.  Israel 
from  thee  this  day,  and  hath  given  it 
to  a  neighbor  of  thine,  that  is  better 
than  thou.

that  was  written  of  him,  they  took  him 
down  from  the  tree,  and  laid  him  in  a

his  own  generation  by  the  will  of  God, 
cfell  on  sleep,  and  was  laid  unto  his 
fathers,  and  saw  corruption: 

37  But  he,  whom  God  raised  again, 
saw  no  corruption.

men  and  brethren,    that    through  this

see  of  the  travail  of  his  soul,  and  shall 
be  satisfied:  by  his  knowledge  shall 
my  righteous  servant  justify  many;  for

EXODUS  xxi:12  fHe  that  smiteth 
a  man,  so  that  he  die,  shall  be  surely 
put  to  death.

God  deliver  him  into  his  hand;  then 
I  will  appoint  thee  a  place  whither  he 
shall  flee. 

14  But  if  a  man  come  presumptu- 
ously upon  his  neighbour,  to  slay  him 
with  guile;  thou  shalt  take  him  from 
mine  altar,  that  he  may  die.

or  his  mother,  shall  be  surely  put  to

and  selleth  him,  or  if  he  be  found  in 
his  hand,  he  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death.

LEVITICUS  XX  :1  And  the  Lord

that  sojourn  in  Israel,  that  giveth  any 
of  his  seed  unto  Mollech;  he  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death:  the  people  of 
the  land  shall  stone  him  with  stones.

his  mother's  name  was  Shelomith,  the 
daughter  of  Dibri,  of  the  tribe  of 
Dan:) 

12  And  they  put  him  in  ward,  that 
the  mind  of  the  Lord  might  be  shewed

13  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Moses, 
saying, 

14  Bring  forth  him  that  hath  cursed 
without  the  camp;  and  let  all  that 
heard  him  lay  their  hands  upon  his 
head,  and  let  all  the  congregation 
stone  him. 

16  And  he  that  blasphemeth  the 
name  of  the  Lord,  he  shall  surely  be 
put  to  death,  and  all  the  congregation 
shall  certainly  stone  him:  as  well  the 
stranger,  as  he  that  is  born  in  the 
land,  when  he  blasphemeth  the  name

your  days,  a  work  which  yc  shall  in 
no  wise  believe,  though  a  man  declare 
It  unto  you. 

42  And  when  the  Jews  were  gone 
out  of  the  synagogue,  the  Gentiles  be- 

prophet,  or  that  dreamer  of  dreams, 
shall  be  put  to  death;  because  he  hath 
spoken  to  turn  you  away  from  the 
Lord  your  God,  which  brought  you 
out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  re- 
deemed you  out  of  the  house  of  bond-

thee  to  walk  in.  So  shalt  thou  put

the  one  end  of  the  earth  even  unto

nor  hearken  unto  him;  neither  shall 
thine  eye  pity  him,  neither  shalt  thou 
spare,  neither  shalt  thou  conceal  him:

thine  hand  shall  be  first  upon  him  to 
put  him  to  death,  and  afterwards  the 
hand  of  all  the  people. 

10  And  thou  shalt  stone  him  with 
stones  that  he  die;  because  he  hath 
sought  to  thrust  thee  away  from  the

ious proselytes  followed  Paul  and 
Barnabas;  who,  speaking  to  them,  per- 
suaded them  to  continue  in  the  grace 
of  God. 

44  And  the  next  Sabbath  day  came 
almost  the  whole  city  together  to  hear

behold,  it  be  true,

father,  or  the  voice  of  his  mother,  and 
that,  when  they  have  chastened  him, 
will  not  hearken  unto  them:

mother  (20)  say  unto  the  elders  of  his 
city.  This  our  son  is  stubborn  and  re-

he  is  a  glutton,  and  a  drunkard.

spake  against  those  things  which  were 
spoken  by  Paul,  contradicting  and 
blaspheming. 

46  Then  Paul  and  Barnabas  waxed 
bold,  and  said,  It  was  necessary  that 
the  word  of  God  should  first  have  been 
spoken  to  you:  but  hseeing  ye  put  it 
from  you,  and  judge  yourselves  unwor-

light  of  the  Gentiles,  that  thou  should-

48  And  when  the  Gentiles  heard 
this,  they  were  glad,  and  glorified  the 
word  of  the  Lord:  and  as  many  as 
were  ordained  to  eternal  life  believed.

that  they  went  both  together  into  the 
synagogue  of  the  Jews,  and  so  spake, 
that  a  great  multitude  both  of  the 
Jews  and  also  of  the  Greeks  believed. 

2  But  the  unbelieving  Jews  stirred 
up  the  Gentiles,  and  made  their  minds

3  Long  time  therefore  abode  they

divided:  and  part  held  with  the  Jews, 
and   part   with    the   apostles. 

5  And  when  there  was  an  assault 
made  both  of  the  Gentiles,  and  also  of 
the  Jews  with  their  rulers,  to  use  mem 
despitefully,  and  to  stone  them,

caonia,  and  unto  the  region  that  lieth 
round  about:

8  And  there  sat  a  certain  man  at 
Lystra,  impotent  in  his  feet,  being  a 
cripple  from  his  mother's  womb,  who 
never   had    walked: 

9  The  same  heard  Paul  speak:  who 
steadfastly  beholding  him,  and  perceiv- 
ing that  he  had  faith  to  be  healed, 

10  Said  with  a  loud  voice,  iStand 
upright  on  thy  feet.  And  he  leaped  and 
walked.

didst  fast  and  weep  for  the  child,  while 
it  was  alive;  but  when  the  child  was 
dead,  thou  didst  rise  and  eat  bread. 

22  And  he  said.  While  the  child  was 
yet  alive,  I  fasted  and  wept:  for  I  said, 
Who  can  tell  whether  God  will  be  gra- 
cious to     me,  that  the  child  may  live? 

23  But  now  he  is  dead,  wherefore 
should  I  fast?  can  I  bring  him  back 
again?  I  shall  go  to  him,  but  he  shall 
not  return  to  me.

voices,  saying,  in  the  speech  of  Lyca-

in  the  likeness  of  men.

iter; and  Paul,  Mercury,  because  he 
was  the  chief  speaker. 

13  Then  the  priest  of  Jupiter,  whic  h 
was  before  their  city,  brought  oxen  and 
garlands  unto  the  gates,  mand  would 
have  done  sacrifice  with  the  people. 

14  Which  when  the  apostles,  Barn-

their  clothes,  and  ran  in  among  the 
people,  crying  out,

these  things?  We  also  are  men  of 
like  passions  with  you,  and  preach  un- 
to you  that  ye  should  turn  from 
nthese  vanities  unto  the  living  God, 
owhich  made  heaven,  and  earth,  and

food  and  gladness. 

18  And  with  these  sayings  scarce 
restrained  they  the  people,  that  they 
had  not  done  sacrifice  unto  them. 

19  And  there  came  thither  certain 
Jews  from  Antioch  and  Iconium,  who 
persuaded  the  people,  and,  having 
stoned  Paul,  drew  him  out  of  the  city, 
supposing  he  had  been  dead. 

20  Howbeit,  as  the  disciples  stood 
round  about  him,  he  rose  up,  and  came 
into  the  city:  and  the  next  day  he  de- 
parted with  Barnabas  to  Derbe. 

21  And  when  they  had  preached  the 
gospel  to  that  city,  and  had  taught 
many,  they  returned  again  to  Lystra, 
and  to  Iconium,  and  Antioch, 

22  Confirming  the  souls  of  the  dis- 
ciples, and  exhorting  them  to  continue 
in  the  faith,  and  that  we  must  through 
much  tribulation  enter  into  the  king- 
dom of  God. 

would  not  hearken  to  my  voice;    and 
Israel  would  none  of  me. 

12  So  I  gave  them  up  unto  their 
own  hearts'  lust;  and  they  walked  in 
their  own  counsels. 

LEVITICUS  xxvi:3  qlf  ye  walk  in 
my  statutes,  and  keep  my  command-

increase,  and  the  trees  of  the  field  shall 
yield  their  fruit. 

DEUTERONOMY  xi:13  And  it  shall

I  command  you  this  day,  to  love  the 
Lord  your  God,  and  to  serve  him  with 
all  your  heart  and  with  all  your  soul, 

14  That  I  will  give  you  the  rain 
of  your  land  in  his  due  season,  the 
first  rain  and  the  latter  rain,  that  thou 
mayest  gather  in  thy  corn,  and  thy 
wine,  and  thine  oil.

23  And  when  they  had  ordained 
them  elders  in  every  church,  and  had 
rprayed  with  fasting,  they  commended 
them  to  the  Lord,  on  whom  they  be- 
lieved. 

24  And  after  they  had  passed 
throughout  Pisidia,  they  came  to  Pam- 
phylia. 

25  And  when  they  had  preached  the 
word  in  Perga,  they  went  down  into 
Attalia: 

26  And  thence  sailed  to  Antioch, 
from  whence  they  had  been  recom- 
mended to  the  grace  of  God  for  the 
work   which   they   fulfilled. 

27  And  when  they  were  come,  and 
had  gathered  the  church  together,  they 
rehearsed  all  that  God  had  done  with 
them,  and  how  he  had  opened  the  door 
of  faith  unto  the  Gentiles. 

28  And  there  they  abode  long  time 
with  the  disciples. 

12  The  Lord  shall  open  unto  thee 
his  good  treasure,  the  heaven  to  give 
the  rain  unto  thy  land  in  his  season, 
and  to  bless  all  the  work  of  thine 
hand:  and  thou  shalt  lend  unto  many 
nations,   and   thou   shalt  not  borrow. 

JOB  v:8  I  would  seek  unto  God,  and 
unto  God  would  I  commit  my  cause:

number: 

10  Who  giveth  rain  upon  the  earth, 
and  sendeth  waters  upon  the  fields: 

PSALM  lxv:9  Thou  visitest  the 
earth,  and  waterest  it:  thou  great- 
ly enrichest  it  with  the  river  of 
God,  which  is  full  of  water:  thou  pre- 
parest  them  corn,  when  thou  hast  so 
provided  for  it. 

10  Thou  waterest  the  ridges  thereof 
abundantly:  thou  settlest  the  furrows 
thereof:  thou  makest  it  soft  with  show- 
ers: thou  blessest  the  springing  there- 
of.

goodness;  and  thy  paths  drop  fatness.

Council  Decided  the  Reaulrcmcnts         THE  ACTS  XV. 


of  Gentile  Converts. 


CHAPTER   XV. 

Dissension  on  circumcision.  13  The  council 
decided  that  it  should  not  be  reciuiredof  the 
Gentile  converts.  29  To  abstain  from  meats 
offered  to  idols,  and  Trom  blood,  from  thint;s 
strantrled.  and  from  fornication. 

1  And  certain  men  which  came 
down  from  Judaea  taught  the  brethren, 
and  said,  Except  ye  abe  circumcised  af- 
ter the  manner  of  Moses,  ye  cannot 
be  saved. 

2  When  therefore  Paul  and  Barn- 
abas had  no  small  dissension  and  dis- 
putation with  them,  they  determined 
that  Paul  and  Barnabas,  and  certain 
other  of  them,  should  go  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem unto  the  apostles  and  elders  about 
this  question. 

3  And  being  brought  on  their  way 
by  the  church,  they  passed  through 
Phenice  and  Samaria,  declaring  the 
conversion  of  the  Gentiles:  and  they 
caused  great  joy  unto  all  the  brethren. 

4  And  when  they  were  come  to  Je- 
rusalem, they  were  received  of  the 
church,  and  of  the  apostles  and  elders, 
and  they  declared  all  things  that  God 
had  done  with  them. 

5  But  there  rose  up  certain  of  the 
sect  of  the  Pharisees  which  believed, 
saying.  That  it  was  needful  to  circum- 
cise them,  and  to  command  them  to 
keep  the  law  of  Moses. 

PSALM  cxlvii:7  Sing  unto  the  Lord 
with  thanksgiving;  sing  praise  upon 
the    harp    unto    our    God: 

8  Who  covereth  the  heaven  with 
clouds,  who  prepareth  rain  for  the 
earth,  who  maketh  grass  to  grow  up- 
on  the  mountains. 

9  He  giveth  to  the  beast  his  food, 
and   to   the  young  ravens   which   cry. 

JEREMIAH  xiv:22  Are  there  any 
among  the  vanities  of  the  Gentiles  that 
can  cause  rain?  or  can  the  heavens 
give  showers?  Art  not  thou  he,  O 
Lord  our  God?  therefore  we  will  wait 
upon  thee:  for  thou  hast  made  all  these 
things. 

I.  SAMUEL  vii:5  rAnd  Samuel  said, 
Gather  all  Israel  to  Mizpeh,  and  I  will 
pray  for  you  unto  the  Lord. 

6  And     they     gathered  together  to 


6  And  the  apostles  and  elders  came 
together  for  to  consider  of  this  matter. 

7  And  when  there  had  been  much 
disputing,  Peter  rose  up,  and  said  unto 
them.  Men  and  brethren,  ye  know  how 
that  a  good  while  ago  God  made  choice 
among  us,  that  the  Gentiles  by  my 
mouth  should  hear  the  word  of  the  gos- 
pel, and  believe. 

8  And  God,  bwhich  knoweth  the 
hearts,  bare  them  witness,  giving  them 
the  Holy  Ghost,  even  as  he  did  unto 
us; 

9  And  put  no  difference  between  us 
and  them,  purifying  their  hearts  by 
faith. 

10  Now  therefore  why  tempt  ye  God, 
to  put  a  yoke  upon  the  neck  of  the 
disciples,  which  neither  our  fathers  nor 
we  were  able  to  bear? 

11  But  we  believe  that  through  the 
grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  we  shall 
be  saved,  even  as  they. 

12  Then  all  the  multitude  kept  si- 
lence, and  gave  audience  to  Barnabas 
and  Paul,  declaring  what  miracles  and 
wonders  God  had  wrought  among  the 
Gentiles  by  them. 

13  And  after  they  had  held  their 
peace,  James  answered,  saying,  Mea 
and  brethren,  hearken  unto  me: 

Mizpeh,  and  drew  water,  and  poured 
it  out  before  the  Lord,  and  fasted  on 
that  day,  and  said  there,  We  have 
sinned  against  the  Lord.  And  Samuel 
judged  the  children  of  Israel  in  Miz- 
peh. 

GENESIS  xvii:10  aThis  is  my 
covenant,  which  ye  [Abraham]  shall 
keep,  between  me  and  you  and  thy  seed 
after  thee;  Every  man  child  among 
you  shall  be  circumcised. 

LEVITICUS  xii:  3  And  in  the  eighth, 
day  the  flesh  of  his  foreskin  shall  be 
circumcised. 

JEREMIAH  xvii:10  bl  the  Lord 
search  the  heart,  I  try  the  reins,  even 
to  give  every  man  according  to  his 
ways,  and  according  to  the  fruit  of  his 
doings.

the  Conversion  of  Gentiles 


14  Simeon  hath  declared  how  God 
cat  the  first  did  visit  the  Gentiles,  to 
take  out  of  them  a  people  for  his 
name. 

15  And  to  this  agree  the  words  of 
the  prophets;   as  it  is  written, 

16  dAfter  this  I  will  return,  and 
will  build  again  the  tabernacle  of  Da- 
vid, which  is  fallen  down;  and  I  will 
build  again  the  ruins  thereof,  and  I 
will  set  it  up:

seek  after  the  Lord,  and  all  the  Gen- 

ISAIAH  lx:3  cAnd  the  Gentiles 
shall  come  to  thy  [Christ's]  light,  and 
kings  to  the  brightness  of  thy  rising. 

4  Lift  up  thine  eyes  round  about, 
and  see-  all  they  gather  themselves  to- 
gether, they  come  to  thee:  thy  sons 
shall  come  from  far,  and  thy  daugh- 
ters shall  be  nursed  at  thy  side. 

5  Then  thou  shalt  see,  and  flow  to- 
gether, and  thine  heart  shall  fear,  and 
be  enlarged;  because  the  abundance  of 
the  sea  shall  be  converted  unto  thee, 
the  forces  of  the  Gentiles  shall  come 
unto  thee. 

AMOS  ix:ll  din  that  day  will  I  raise 
tip  the  tabernacle  of  David  that  is  fal- 
len, and  close  up  the  breaches  there- 
of; and  I  will  raise  up  his  ruins,  and 
I  will  build  it  as  in  the  days  of  old: 

ISAIAH  xi:10  eAnd  in  that  day 
there  shall  be  a  root  of  Jesse,  which 
shall  stand  for  an  ensign  of  the  people; 
to  it  shall  the  Gentiles  seek:  and  his 
rest  shall  be  glorious. 

GENESIS  XXXV :  2  fThen  Jacob  said 
unto  his  household,  and  to  all  that 
were  with  him,  Put  away  the  strange 
gods  that  are  among  you,  and  be 
clean,   and  change  your  garments: 

EXODUS  XX :  3  Thou  shalt  have  no 
other  gods  before  me. 

4  Thou  Shalt  not  make  unto  thee 
any  graven  image,  or  any  likeness  of 
anything  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or 
that  is  in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is 
in  the  water  under  the  earth: 

5  Thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thy- 
self to  them,  nor  serve  them:  for  I  the 
Lord  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visit- 
ing the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon 
the  children  unto  the  third  and  fourth 
generation  of  them  that  hate  me; 

6  And  shewing  mercy    unto     thou- 


tiles,  upon  whom  my  name  is  called, 
saith  the  Lord,  who  doeth  all  these 
things. 

18  Known  unto  God  are  all  his 
works  from  the  beginning  of  the  world. 

19  Wherefore  my  sentence  is,  that 
we  trouble  not  them,  which  from 
among  the  Gentiles  are  turned  to  God: 

20  But  that  we  write  unto  them, 
that  they  abstain  ffrom  pollutions  of 
idols,  and  gfrom  fornication,  and  from 
things  strangled,  and  hfrom  blood. 

21  For  Moses  of  old  time  hath  in 

sands  of  them  that  love  me,  and  keep 
my   commandments. 

23  Ye  shall  not  make  with  me  gods 
of  silver,  neither  shall  ye  make  unto 
you  gods  of  gold. 

EZEKIEL  xx:29  Then  I  said  unto 
them.  What  is  the  high  place  where- 
unto  ye  go?  And  the  name  thereof  is 
called  Bamah  unto  this  day. 

30  Wherefore  say  unto  the  house  of 
Israel,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Are 
ye  polluted  after  the  manner  of  your 
fathers?  and  commit  ye  whoredom  af- 
ter their  abominations? 

31  For  when  ye  offer  your  gifts, 
when  ye  make  your  sons  to  pass 
through  the  fire,  ye  pollute  yourselves 
with  all  your  idols,  even  unto  this 
day:  and  shall  I  be  inquired  of  by  you, 
O  house  of  Israel?  As  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  I  will  not  be  inquired  of  by 
you. 

EZEKIEL  xvi:25  gThou  hast  built 
thy  high  place  at  every  head  of  the 
way,  and  hast  made  thy  beauty  to  be 
abhorred,  and  hast  opened  thy  feet  to 
every  one  that  passed  by,  and  multi- 
plied thy  whoredoms. 

26  Thou  hast  also  committed  forni- 
cation with  the  Egyptians  thy  neigh- 
bours, great  of  flesh;  and  hast  in- 
creased thy  whoredoms,  to  provoke 
me  to  anger. 

GENESIS  ix:4  hBut  flesh  with  the

every  city  them  that  preach  him,  be-

22  Then  pleased  it  the  apostles  and 
elders,  with  the  whole  church,  to  send 
chosen  men  of  their  own  company  to 
Antioch  with  Paul  and  Barnabas; 
namely,  Judas  surnamed  Barsabas, 
and  Silas,  chief  among  the  breth- 
ren: 

23  And  they  wrote  letters  by  them 
after  this  manner;  The  apostles  and 
elders  and  brethren  send  greeting  un- 
to the  brethren  which  are  of  the  Gen- 
tiles in  Antioch  and  Syria  and  Cili- 
cia: 

2-1  Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard, 
that  certain  which  went  out  from  us 
have  troubled  you  with  words,  sub- 
verting your  souls,  saying,  Ye  must  be 
circumcised,  and  keep  the  law;  to 
whom  we  gave  no  such  commandment: 

25  It  seemed  good  unto  us,  being 
assembled  with  one  accord  to 
send  chosen  men  unto  j'ou  with  our 
beloved  Barnabas  and  Paul, 

26  Men  that  have  hazarded  their 
lives  for  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

27  We  have  sent  therefore  Judas 
and  Silas,  who  shall  also  tell  you  the 
same  things  by  mouth. 

28  For  it  seemed  good  to  the  iHoly 
Ghost,  and  to  us,  to  lay  upon  you  no 

the  children  of  Israel,  Ye  shall  eat  the 
blood  of  no  manner  of  flesh;  for  the 
life  of  all  flesh  is  the  bood  thereof: 
whosoever  eateth  it  shall  be  cut  off. 

DEUTERONOMY  xii:16  Only  ye 
shall  not  eat  the  blood;  ye  shall  pour 
it  upon  the  earth  as  water. 

23  Only  be  sure  that  thou  eat  not 
the  blood:  for  the  blood  is  the  life;  and 
thou  mayest  not  eat  the  life  with  the 
flesh. 

ISAIAH  lxiii:14  lAs  a  beast  goeth 
down  into  the  valley,  the  Spirit  of  the 
Lord  caused  him  to  rest;  so  didst  thou 
lead  thy  people,  to  make  thyself  a  glo- 
rious name. 


greater     burden    than  these  necessary 
things; 

29  That  ye  abstain  from  Jmeats  of- 
fered to  idols,  and  from  blood,  and 
from  things  strangled,  and  from  forni- 
cation: from  which  if  ye  keep  your- 
selves, ye  shall  do  well.     Fare  ye  well. 

30  So  when  they  were  dismissed, 
they  came  to  Antioch:  and  when  they 
had  gathered  the  multitude  together, 
they   delivered  the  epistle: 

31  Which  when  they  had  read,  they 
rejoiced   for  the   consolation. 

32  And  Judas  and  Silas,  being 
prophets  also  themselves,  exhorted  the 
brethren  with  many  words,  and  con- 
firmed them. 

33  And  after  they  had  tarried  there 
a  space,  they  were  let  go  in  peace  from 
the  brethren  unto  the  apostles. 

34  Notwithstanding  it  pleased  Silas 
to  abide  there  still. 

35  Paul  also  and  Barnabas  con- 
tinued in  Antioch,  teaching  and 
preaching  the  word  of  the  Lord,  with 
many  others  also. 

36  And  some  days  after,  Paul  said 
Tinto  Barnabas,  Let  us  go  again  and 
visit  our  brethren  in  every  city  where 
we  have  preached  the  word  of  the 
Lord,  and  see  how  they  do. 

37  And  Barnabas  determined  to 
take  with  them  John,  whose  surname 
was  Mark. 

ZECHARIAH  iv:6  Then  he  an- 
swered and  spake  unto  me,  saying. 
This  is  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto  Zer- 
ubbabel,  saying,  Not  by  might,  nor  by 
power,  but  by  my  Spirit,  saith  the  Lord

take  him  with  them,  who  departed  from 
them  from  Pamphylia,  and  went  not 
'with  them  to  the  work. 

39  And  the  contention  was  so  sharp 
between  them,  that  they  departed 
asunder  one  from  the  other:  and  so 
Barnabas  took  Mark,  and  sailed  unto 
Cyprus; 

40  And  Paul  chose  Silas,  and  de- 
parted, being  recommended  by  the 
brethren  unto  the  grace  of  God. 

41  And  he  went  through  Syria  and 
Cilicia,  confirming  the  churches.

Timothy  accompanies  Paul  and  Silas.  9  A 
vision  at  Troas  indicated  that  they  should  cross 
over  into  Macedonia.  14  Ijydia  was  the  first 
convert  to  Christianity  in  Europe.  16  Paul  and 
Silas  were  imprisoned  for  castinsj  an  evil  spirit 
out  of  a  damsel.  25  The  prison  doors  were 
opened  by  an  earthquake.  3o  The  jailer  was 
converted. 

1  Then  came  he  to  Derbe  and  Lys- 
tra:  and,  behold,  a  certain  disciple  was 
there,  named  Timothy,  the  son  of  a 
certain  woman,  which  was  a  Jewess, 
and  believed;  but  his  father  was  a 
Greek: 

2  Which  was  well  reported  of  by 
the  brethren  that  were  at  Lystra  and 
Iconium. 

3  Him  would  Paul  have  to  go  forth 
with  him;   and  took  and  kcircumcised 

stranger  shall  sojourn  with  thee,  and 
will  keep  the  passover  to  the  Lord,  let 
all  his  males  be  circumcised,  and  then 
let  him  come  near  and  keep  it;  and 
he  shall  be  as  one  that  is  born  in  the 
land:  for  no  uncircumcised  person 
shall  eat  thereof. 

DEUTERONOMY  x:16  Circumcise 
therefore  the  foreskin  of  your  heart, 
and  be  no  more  stiffnecked. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxx:6  And  the 
Lord  thy  God  will  circumcise  thine

JEREMIAH  iv:4  Circumcise  your- 
selves to  the  Lord,  and  take  away 
the  foreskins  of  your  hsart,  ye  men  of 
Judah    and  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem; 


him  because  of  the  Jews  which  were 
in  those  quarters:  for  they  knew  all 
that  his  father  was  a  Greek. 

4  And  as  they  went  through  the  cit- 
ies, they  delivered  them  the  decrees 
for  to  keep,  that  were  ordained  of  the 
apostles  and  elders  which  were  at  Je- 
rusalem. 

5  And  so  were  the  churches  estab- 
lished in  the  faith,  and  increased  In 
number  daily. 

6  Now  when  they  had  gone 
throughout  Phrygia  and  the  region  of 
Galatia,  and  were  forbidden  of  the 
Holy  Ghost  to  preach  the  word  in 
Asia, 

7  After  they  were  come  to  Mysia, 
they  assayed  to  go  into  Bithynia:  but 
the  Spirit  suffered  them  not. 

8  And  they  passing  by  Mysia,  came 
down  to  Troas. 

9  And  la  vision  appeared  to  Paul 
in  the  night;  There  stood  a  man  of 
Macedonia,  and  prayed  him,  saying. 
Come  over  into  Macedonia,  and  help 
us. 

10  And  after  he  [Paul]  had  seen 
the  vision,  immediately  we  endeav- 
oured to  mgo  into  Macedonia,  assured- 
ly gathering  that  the  Lord  had  called 
us  for  to  preach  the  gospel  unto  them. 

lest  my  fury  come  forth  like  fire,  and 
burn  that  none  can  quench  it,  because 
of  the  evil  of  your  doings. 

NUMBERS  xii:6  lAnd  he  said. 
Hear  now  my  words:  If  there  be  a 
prophet  among  you,  I  the  Lord  will 
make  myself  known  unto  him  in  a  vis- 
ion, and  will  speak  unto  him  in  a 
dream. 

7  My  servant  Moses  is  not  so,  who 
is  faithful  in  all  mine  house. 

8  With  him  will  I  speak  mouth  to 
mouth,  even  apparently,  and  not  in 
dark  speeches;  and  the  similitude  of 
the  Lord  shall  he  behold:  wherefore 
then  were  ye  not  afraid  to  speak 
against  my  servant  Moses?

11  Therefore  loosing  from  Troas,  we 
came  with  a  straight  course  to  Samo- 
thracia,  and  the  next  day  to  Neapolis; 

12  And  from  thence  to  Philippi, 
which  is  the  chief  city  of  that  part  of 
Macedonia,  and  a  colony:  and  we  were 
In  that  city  abiding  certain  days. 

13  And  on  the  sabbath  we  went 
out  of  the  city  by  a  river  side,  nwhere 
prayer  was  wont  to  be  made;  and  we 
sat  down,  and  spake  unto  the  women 
which  resorted  thither. 

14  And  a  certain  woman  named 
Lydia,  a  seller  of  purple,  of  the  city  of 
Thyatira,        which     worshipped     God, 

device,  nor  Ivnowledge,  nor  wisdom,  in 
the  grave,  whither  thou  goest. 

PROVERBS  XV :  8  nThe  sacrifice  of 
the  wicked  is  an  abomination  to  the 
Lord:  but  the  prayer  of  the  upright  is 
his  delight. 

29  The  Lord  is  far  from  the  wicked: 
but  he  heareth  the  prayer  of  the  right- 
eous. 

GENESIS  xix:  3  o[Lot]  pressed  up- 
on them  [two  angels]  greatly;  and 
they  turned  in  unto  him,  and  entered 
into  his  house;  and  he  made  them  a 
feast,  and  did  bake  unleavened  bread, 
and  they  did  eat. 

GENESIS  xxxiii:ll  Take,  I  [Ja- 
cob] pray  thee  [Esau],  my  blessing 
that  is  brought  to  thee;  because  God 
hath  dealt  graciously  with  me,  and  be- 
cause I  have  enough.  And  he  urged 
him,  and  he  took  it. 

JUDGES  xix:  21  [An  old  man] 
brought  him  [a  Levite]  into  his  house, 
and  gave  provender  unto  the  asses: 
and  they  washed  their  feet,  and  did 
eat  and  drink. 

GENESIS  xli:8  pAnd  It  came  to 
pass  in  the  morning  that  his  spirit 
was  troubled;  and  he  sent  and  called 
for  all  the  magicians  of  Egjpt,  and  all 
the  wise  men  thereof:  and  Pharaoh 
told  them  his  dream:  but  there  was 
none  that  could  interpret  them  unto 
Pharaoh. 

24  And  the  thin  ears  devoured  the 
seven  good  ears:  and  I  told  this  unto 
the  magiiians;  but  there  was  none 
that  could  declare  it  to  me. 

25  And  Joseph  said  unto  Pharaoh, 
The  dream  of  Pharaoh  is  one:  God 
hath  shewed  Pharaoh  what  he  is  about 


heard  us:  whose  heart  the  Lord 
opened,  that  she  attended  unto  the 
things  which  were  spoken  of  Paul. 

15  And  when  she  was  baptized,  and 
her  household,  she  besought  us,  say- 
ing. If  ye  have  judged  me  to  be  faith- 
ful to  the  Lord,  come  into  my  house, 
and  abide  there.  And  oshe  con- 
strained us. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we 
went  to  prayer,  a  certain  damsel  ppoS' 
sessed  with  a  spirit  of  divination  met 
us,  which  brought  her  masters  much 
gain  by  soothsaying: 

17  The  same  followed  Paul  and  us, 

to  do. 

29  Behold,  there  come  seven  years 
of  great  plenty  throughout  all  the 
land  of  Egypt: 

30  And  there  shall  arise  after  them 
seven  years  of  famine;  and  all  the 
plenty  shall  be  forgotten  in  the  land 
of  Egypt;  and  the  famine  shall  con- 
sume the  land; 

EXODUS  vii:ll  Then  Pharaoh  al- 
so called  the  wise  men  and  the  sorcer- 
ers: now  the  magicians  of  Egypt,  they 
also  did  in  like  manner  with  their  en- 
chantments. 

12  For  they  cast  down  every  man 
his  rod,  and  they  became  serpents: 
but  Aaron's  rod  swallowed  up  their 
rods. 

13  And  he  hardened  Pharaoh's 
heart,  that  he  hearkened  not  unto 
them;   as  the  Lord  had  said. 

EXODUS  ix:ll  And  the  magicians 
could  not  stand  before  Moses  because 
of  the  boils;  for  the  boil  was  upon  the 
magicians,  and  upon  all  the  Egyptians. 

JOSHUA  xiii:22  Baalam  also  the 
son  of  Beor,  the  soothsayer,  did  the 
children  of  Israel  slay  with  the  sword 
among  them  that  were  slain  by  them. 

I.  SAMUEL  xxviii:7  Then  said 
Saul  unto  his  servants.  Seek  me  a 
woman  that  hath  a  familiar  spirit, 
that  I  may  go  to  her,  and  inquire  of 
her.  And  his  servants  said  to  him, 
Behold,  there  is  a  woman  that  hath  a 
familiar  spirit  at  En-dor,

and  cried,  saying,  These  men  are  the 
servants  of  the  most  high  God,  which 
shew  unto  us  the  way  of  salvation. 

18  And  this  did  she  many  days. 
But  Paul,  being  grieved,  turned  and 
said  to  the  spirit,  I  command  thee  in 
the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  to  come  out 
of  her.  And  he  came  out  the  same 
hour. 

19  And  when  her  masters  saw 
that  the  hope  of  their  gains  was  gone, 
they  caught  Paul  and  Silas,  and  drew 
them  into  the  marketplace  unto  the 
rulers, 

20  And  brought  them  to  the  mag- 
istrates, saying,  These  men,  being 
Jews,  qdo  exceedingly  trouble  our  city, 

21  And  teach  customs,  which  are 
not  lawful  for  us  to  receive,  neither 
to  observe,  being  Romans. 

22  And  the  multitude  rose  up  to- 
gether against  them;  and  the  magis- 
trates rent  off  their  clothes,  and  com- 
manded to  beat  them.

magicians,  the  astrologers,  the  Chal- 
deans, and  the  soothsayers:  and  I

fore them;  but  they  did  not  make 
known  unto  me  the  interpretation 
thereof.

wisdom  is  found  in  thee. 

1.5  And  now  the  wise  men,  the  as- 
trologers, have  been  brought  in  before 
me,  that  they  should  read  this  writ- 
ing, and  make  known  unto  me  the  in- 
terpretation thereof:  but  they  could 
not  shew  the  interpretation  of  the 
thing.

I.  KINGS  xviii:17  qAnd  it  came  to

Ahab  said  unto  him,  Art  thou  he  that

to prison,  charging  the  jailer  to  keep 
them  safely: 

24  Who,  having  received  such  a 
charge,  thrust  them  into  the  inner 
prison,  and  made  their  feet  fast  in 
rthe  stocks. 

25  And  at  midnight  Paul  and  Silas 
sprayed,  and  tsang  praises  unto  God: 
and  the  prisoners  heard  them. 

26  And  suddenly  there  was  a  great 
earthquake,  so  that  the  foundations  of 
the  prison  were  shaken:  and  imme- 
diately all  the  doors  were  opened,  and 
every  one's  bands  were  loosed. 

27  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
awaking  out  of  his  sleep,  and  seeing 
the  prison  doors  open,  he  drew  out  his 
sword,  and  would  have  killed  himself, 
supposing  that  the  prisoners  had  been 
fled. 

28  But  Paul  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
saying,  Do  thyself  no  harm:  for  we 
are  all  here.

sprang    in,    and    came  trembling,  and 
fell  down  before  Paul  and  Silas, 

30  And  brought  them  out,  and  said, 
Sirs,  what  must  I  do  to  be  saved? 

31  And  they  said.  Believe  on  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  thou  shalt  be 
saved,  and  thy  house. 

32  And  they  spake  unto  him  uthe 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  to  all  that  were 
In  his  house. 

33  And  he  took  them  the  same  hour 
of  the  night,  and  washed  their  stripes; 
and  was  baptized,  he  and  all  his, 
straightway. 

34  And  when  he  had  brought  them 
Into  his  house,  he  set  meat  before 
them,  and  rejoiced,  believing  in  God 
with  all  his  house. 

35  And  when  it  was  day,  the  mag- 
istrates sent  the  Serjeants,  saying,  Let 
those  men  go. 

36  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison 
told  this  saying  to  Paul,  The  magis- 
trates have  sent  to  let  you  go:  now 
therefore  depart,  and  go  in  peace. 

37  But  Paul  said  unto  them.  They 
have  beaten  us  openly  uncondemned, 
being  Romans,  and  have  cast  us  into 
prison;  and  now  do  they  thrust  us  out 
privily?  nay  verily;  vbut  let  them  come 
themselves  and  fetch  us  out. 

38  And  the  Serjeants  told  these 
words  unto  the  magistrates:  and  they 
feared,  when  they  heard  that  they 
were  Romans.

them,  and  brought  them  out,  and  de-

40  And  they  went  out  of  the  pris- 
on, and  entered  into  the  house  of  Ly-

1  Now  when  they  had  passed 
through  Amphipolis  and  Apollonia, 
they  came  to  Tbessalonica,  where  was 
a  synagogue  of  the  Jews: 

2  And  Paul,  as  his  manner  was, 
went  in  imto  them,  and  three  sabbath 
days  reasoned  with  them  out  of  the 
Scriptures, 

3  Opening  and  alleging,  that  Christ 
must  needs  have  suffered,  and  risen 
again  from  the  dead;  and  that  this 
Jesus,  whom  I  preach  unto  you,  is 
Christ. 

4  And  some  of  them  believed,  and 
consorted  with  Paul  and  Silas;  and  of 
the  devout  Greeks  a  great  multitude, 
and  of  the  chief  women  not  a  few. 

5  But  the  Jews  which  believed  not, 
moved  with  envy,  took  unto  them  cer- 
tain lewd  fellows  of  the  baser  sort, 
and  gathered  a  company,  and  set  all 
the  city  on  an  uproar,  and  assaulted 
the  house  of  Jason,  and  sought  to 
bring  them  out  to  the  people. 

6  And  when  they  found  them  not, 
they  drew  Jason  and  certain  brethren 
unto  the  rulers  of  the  city,  crying. 
These  athat  have  turned  the  world  up-

these  all  bdo  contrary  to  the  decrees

these  things.

a  light  of  the  Gentiles:

lonica had  knowledge  that  the  word  of 
God  was  preached  of  Paul  at  Berea, 
they  came  thither  also,  and  stirred  up 
the  people. 

14  And  then  immediately  the  breth- 
ren sent  away  Paul  to  go  as  it  were 
to  the  sea:  but  Silas  and  Timothy 
abode  there  still. 

15  And  they  that  conducted  Paul 
brought  him  unto  Athens:  and  receiv- 
ing a  commandment  unto  Silas  and 
Timothy  for  to  come  to  him  with  all 
espeed,  they  departed. 

16  Now  while  Paul  waited  for  them 
at    Athens,    fhis  spirit  was  stirred  in 

Jacob,  and  to  restore  the  preserved  of 
Israel:  I  will  also  give  thee  for  a  light

17  Therefore  sdisputed  he  in  the 
synagogue  with  the  Jews,  and  with  the 
devout  persons,  and  in  the  market 
daily  with  them  that  met  with  him. 

18  Then  certain  philosophers  of  the 
Epicureans,  and  of  the  Stoics,  en- 
countered him.  And  some  said.  What 
will  this  babbler  say?  other  some.  He 
seemeth  to  be  a  setting  forth  of 
strange  gods:  because  he  preached  un- 
to them  Jesus,   and   the  resurrection. 

19  And  they  took  him,  and  brought 
him  unto  Areopagus,  saying,  May  we 
know  what  this  new  doctrine,  where- 
of thou  speakest,  is? 

20  For  thou  bringest  certain  strange 
things  to  our  ears:  we  would  know 
therefore  what  these  things   mean.

And  I  gathered  them  together,  and  set 
them  in  their  place. 

17  Then  I  contended  with  the 
nobles  of  Judah,  and  said  unto  them. 
What  evil  thing  is  this  that  ye  do,  and 
profane  the  sabbath  day? 

JEREMIAH     1:38  hA   draught   is 

upon  her  waters;  and  they  shall  be 
dried  up:  for  it  is  the  land  of  graven 
images,  and  they  are  mad  upon  their 
idols. 

PSALM  1:8  il  [the  Lord]  will  not 
reprove  thee  for  thy  sacrifices  or  thy 
burnt  offerings,  to  have  been  contin- 
ually before  me. 

9  I  will  take  no  bullock  out  of  thy 
house,  nor  he  goats  out  of  thy  folds: 

10  For  every  beast  of  the  forest  is 
mine,  and  the  cattle  upon  a  thousand 
hills. 

11  I  know  all  the  fowls  of  the 
mountains:  and  the  wild  beasts  of  the 
field  are  mine. 

12  If  I  were  hungry,  I  would  not 
tell  thee:  for  the  world  is  mine,  and 
the  fulness  thereof.

to  tell  or  to  hear  some  new  thing.) 

22  Then  Paul  stood  in  the  midst  of 
Mars'  hill,  and  said,  Ye  men  of  Athens, 
I  perceive  that  in  all  things  ye  are 
htoo  superstitious. 

23  For  as  I  passed  by,  and  beheld 
your  devotions,  I  found  an  altar  with 
this  inscription,  TO  THE  UNKNOWN 
GOD.  Whom  therefore  ye  ignorantly 
worship,  him  declare  I  unto  you. 

24  God  that  made  the  world  and  all 
things  therein,  seeing  that  he  is  Lord 
of  heaven  and  earth,  dwelleth  not  in 
temples  made  with  hands; 

25  Neither  is  worshipped  with 
men's  hands,  ias  though  he  needed 
any  thing,  seeing  jhe  giveth  to  all  life, 
and  breath,  and  all  things: 

26  And  hath  made  of  one  blood  all 
nations  of  men  for  to  dwell  on  all  the 

upon  their  faces,  and  said,  O  God,  the 
God  of  the  spirits  of  all  flesh,  shall 
one  man  sin,  and  wilt  thou  be  wroth 
with  all  the  congregation? 

JOB  xii:9  Who  knoweth  not  in  all 
these  that  the  hand  of  the  Lord  hatn 
wrought  this? 

10  In  whose  hand  is  the  soul  of  ev- 
ery living  thing,  and  the  breath  of  all 
mankind.

breath  is  in  me,  and  the  spirit  of  God 
is  in  my  nostrils; 

JOB  xxxiii:4  The  Spirit  of  God 
hath  made  me,  and  the  breath  of  the 
Almighty  hath  given  me  life. 

ISAIAH  xlii:5  Thus  saith  God  the 
Lord,  he  that  created  the  heavens,  and 
stretched  them  out;  he  that  spread 
forth  the  earth,  and  that  which  com- 
eth  out  of  it;  he  that  giveth  breath

mined the  times  before  appointed,  and 
the  ibounds  of  their  habitation; 

27  That  they  should  seelc  the  Lord, 
if  haply  they  might  feel  after  him, 
and  find  him,  mthough  he  be  not  far 
from  every  one  of  us: 

28  For  in  him  we  live,  and  move, 
and  have  our  being;  as  certain  also 
of  your  own  poets  have  said.  For  we 
are  also  his  offspring. 

29  Forasmuch  then  as  we  are  the 
offspring  of  God,  nwe  ought  not  to 
think  that  the  Godhead  is  like  unto 
gold,  or  silver,  or  stone,  graven  by  art 
and  man's  device. 

30  And  the  times  of  this  ignorance 
God  winked  at;  but  now  commandeth 

15  My  times  are  in  thy  hand:  de- 
liver me  from  the  hand  of  mine  ene- 
mies, and  from  them  that  persecute 
me. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxxii:8  iWhen 
the  Most  High  divided  to  the  nations 
their  inheritance,  when  he  separated 
the  sons  of  Adam,  he  set  the  bounds 
of  the  people  according  to  the  number 
of  the  children  of  Israel. 

L  KINGS  viii:27  mBut  will  God 
indeed  dwell  on  the  earth?  behold,  the 
heaven  and  heaven  of  heavens  cannot 
contain  thee;  how  much  less  this 
house  that  I  have  builded? 

JEREMIAH  xxiii:23  Am  I  a  God 
at  hand,  saith  the  Lord,  and  not  a  God 
afar  off? 

24  Can  any  hide  himself  in  secret 
places  that  I  shall  not  see  him?  saith 
the  Lord.  Do  not  I  fill  heaven  and 
earth?  saith  the  Lord. 

ISAIAH  xl:17  nAll  nations  before 
him  are  as  nothing  and  they  are 
counted  to  him  less  than  nothing,  and 
vanity. 

18  To  whom  then  will  ye  liken 
God?  or  what  likeness  will  ye  compare 
unto  him? 

19  The  workman  melteth  a  graven 
image,  and  the  goldsmith  spreadeth  it 
over  with  gold,  and  casteth  silver 
chains. 

20  He  that  is  so  impoverished  that 
he  hath  no  oblation  chooseth  a  tree 
that  will  not  rot;  he  seeketh  unto  him 


all  men  every  where  to  repent: 

31  Because  he  hath  appointed  a 
day,  in  the  which  he  will  ojudge  the 
world  in  righteousness  by  that  man 
whom  he  hath  ordained;  whereof  he 
hath  given  assurance  unto  all  men,  in 
that  he  hath  raised  him  from  the  dead. 

32  And  when  they  heard  of  pthe 
resurrection  of  the  dead,  some 
mocked:  and  others  said.  We  will 
hear  thee  again  of  this  matter. 

33  So  Paul  departed  from  among 
them. 

34  Howbeit  certain  men  clave  unto 
him,  and  believed:  among  the  which 
was  Dionysius  the  Areopagite,  and  a 
woman  named  Damaris,  and  others 
with  them.

en image,  that  shall  not  be  moved. 

PSALM  1:4  oHe  shall  call  to  the 
heavens  from  above,  and  to  the  earth, 
that  he  may  judge  his  people. 

5  Gather  my  saints  together  unto 
me;  those  that  have  made  a  covenant 
with  me  by  sacrifice. 

ECCLESIASTES  iii:17  I  said  in 
mine  heart,  God  shall  judge  the  right- 
eous and  the  wicked:  for  there  is  a 
time  there  for  every  purpose  and  for 
every  work. 

ECCLESIASTES  xi:9  Rejoice,  O 
young  man,  in  thy  youth;  and  let  thy 
heart  cheer  thee  in  the  days  of  thy 
youth,  and  walk  in  the  ways  of  thine 
heart,  and  in  the  sight  of  thine  eyes: 
but  know  thou,  that  for  all  these 
things  God  will  bring  thee  into  judg- 
ment. 

ECCLESIASTES  xii:13  Let  us  hear 
the  conclusion  of  the  whole  matter: 
Fear  God,  and  keep  his  command- 
ments: for  this  is  the  whole  duty  of 
man. 

11  For  God  shall  bring  every  work 
into  judgment,  with  every  secret  thing, 
whether  it  be  good,  or  whether  it  be 
evil. 

DANIEL  xii:2  pAnd  many  of  them 
thst  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth  shall 
awake,  some  to  everlasting  life,  and 
some  to  shame  and  everlasting  con-

CHAPTER  XVIII. 

At  Corinth  Paul  nuide  tents  and  preached  on 
the  Sabbatli.  «  Many  belli'ved.  12  Tlit-  Jews 
made  insurrection  and  aiii)ealed  to  Gallio.  but 
he  refused  to  be  a  judw'o  of  reliirious  nuestions. 
19  Paul  made  u  short  stop  at  Kphesus  on  liis 
way  to  Jerusalem.  24  Ajiollos  preached  at 
Ephesus. 

1  After  these  things  Paul  departed 
from  Athens,  and  came  to  Corinth; 

2  And  found  a  certain  Jew  named 
Aquila,  born  in  Pontus,  lately  come 
from  Italy,  with  his  wife  Priscilla, 
(because  that  Claudius  had  com- 
manded all  Jews  to  depart  from 
Rome,)  and  came  unto  them. 

3  And  because  he  was  of  the  same 
craft,  he  abode  with  them,  and 
■wrought:  (for  by  their  occupation  they 
•were  tentmakers.) 

and  they  that  turn  many  to  righteous- 
ness,  as  the  stars  for  ever  and  ever. 

JOB  xxxii:18  qFor  I  [Elihu]  am 
lull  of  matter;  the  spirit  within  me 
constraineth  me. 

NEHEMIAH  v:13  rAlso  I  shook 
my  lap,  and  said.  So  God  shake  out 
every  man  from  his  house,  and  from 
hit  labour,  that  performeth  not  this 
promise,  even  thus  be  he  shaken  out, 
and  emptied.  And  all  the  congrega- 
tion said.  Amen,  and  praised  the 
Lord.  And  the  people  did  according 
to  this  promise. 

LEVITICUS  xx:9  sFor  every  one 
that  curseth  his  father  or  his  mother 
shall  be  surely  put  to  death:  he  hath 
cursed  his  father  or  his  mother;  his 
blood  shall  be  upon  him. 

11  And  the  man  that  lieth  with  his 
father's  wife  hath  uncovered  his  fath- 
er's nakedness:  both  of  them  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death;  their  blood 
shall  be  upon  them. 

12  And  if  a  man  lie  with  his  daugh- 
ter in  law,  both  of  them  shall  surely 
be  put  to  death:  they  have  wrought 
confusion;  their  blood  shall  be  upon 
them. 

II.  SAMUEL  i:16  And  David  said 
unto  him.  Thy  blood  be  upon  thy  head; 
for  thy  mouth  hath  testified  against 
thee,  saying,  I  have  slain  the  Lord's 
anointed.

gogue every  sabbath,  and  persuaded 
the  Jews  and  the  Greeks.

qpressed  in  the  spirit,  and  testified  to 
the  Jews  that  Jesus  was  Christ. 

6  And  when  they  opposed  them- 
selves, and  blasphemed,  rhe  shook  his 
raiment,  and  said  unto  them,  sYour 
blood  be  upon  your  own  heads;  '  I  am 
clean:  from  henceforth  I  will  go  unto 
the  Gentiles. 

7  And  he  departed  thence,  and  en- 
tered into  a  certain  man's  house, 
named  [Titus]  Justus,  one  that  wor-

to  the  synagogue.

mountains,  and  defiled  his  neighbour's 
wife, 

12  Hath  oppressed  the  poor  and 
needy,  hath  spoiled  by  violence,  hath 
not  restored  the  pledge,  and  hath  lifted 
up  his  eyes  to  the  Idols,  hath  com- 
mitted abomination, 

13  Hath  given  forth  upon  usury, 
and  hath  taken  increase:  shall  he  then 
live?  he  shall  not  live:  he  hath  done 
all  these  abominations;  he  shall  sure- 
ly die;  his  blood  shall  be  upon  him. 

EZEKIEL  xxxiii:4  Then  whosoever 
heareth  the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  and 
taketh  not  warning;  if  the  sword 
come,  and  take  him  away,  his  blood 
shall  be  upon  his  own  head. 

EZEKIEL  iii:18  tWhen  I  say  unto 
the  wicked.  Thou  shalt  surely  die;  and 
thou  givest  him  not  warning,  nor 
speakest  to  warn  the  wicked  from  his 
wicked  way,  to  save  his  life;  the  same 
wicked  man  shall  die  in  his  iniquity; 
but  his  blood  will  I  require  at  thine 
hand. 

19  Yet  if  thou  warn  the  wicked, 
and  he  turn  not  from  his  wickedness, 
nor  from  his  wicked  way,  he  shall  die 
in  his  iniquity;  but  thou  hast  delivered 
thy  soul. 

EZEKIEL  xxxiii:9  Nevertheless, 
if  thou  warn  the  wicked  of  his  way  to 
turn  from  it;  if  he  do  not  turn  from 
his  way,  he  shall  die  in  his  iniquity;

Aquila  Went  to  Ephesus. 


8  And  Crispus,  the  chief  ruler  of 
the  synagogue,  believed  on  the  Lord 
with  all  his  house;  and  many  of  the 
Corinthians  hearing  believed,  and  were 
baptized. 

9  Then  spake  the  Lord  to  Paul  in 
the  night  by  a  vision.  Be  not  afraid, 
but  speak,  and  hold  not  thy  peace: 

10  uFor  I  am  with  thee,  and  no 
man  shall  set  on  thee  to  hurt  thee: 
for  I  have  much  people  in  this  city. 

11  And  he  continued  there  a  year 
and  six  months,  teaching  the  word  of 
God  among  them. 

12  And  when  Gallio  was  the  deputy 
of  Achaia,  the  Jews  made  insurrection 
with  one  accord  against  Paul,  and 
brought  him  to  the  judgment  seat, 

13  Saying,  This  fellow  persuadeth 
men  to  worship  God  contrary  to  the 
law. 

14  And  when  Paul  was  now  about 
to  open  his  mouth,  Gallio  said  unto 
the  Jews,  If  it  were  a  matter  of  wrong 
or  wicked  lewdness,  O  ye  Jews,  reason 
would  that  I  should  bear  with  you: 

15  But  if  it  be  a  question  of  words 
and  names,  and  of  your  law,  look  ye 
to  it;  for  I  will  be  no  judge  of  such 
matters.

dah,  against  the  princes  thereof, 
against  the  priests  thgreof,  and 
against  the  people   of  the  land. 

19  And  they  shall  fight  against 
thee;  but  they  shall  not  prevail  against 
thee;  for  I  am  with  thee,  saith  the 
Lord,  to  deliver  thee.

gogue, and  vbeat  him  before  the  judg- 
ment seat.  And  Gallio  cared  for  none 
of  those  things. 

18  And  Paul  after  this  tarried  there 
yet  a  good  while,  and  then  took  his 
leave  of  the  brethren,  and  sailed 
thence  into  Syria,  and  with  him  Pris- 
cilla and  Aquila;  having  wshorn  his 
head  in  Cenchrea:    for  he  had  a  vow. 

19  And  he  came  to  Ephesus,  and 
left  them  there:  but  he  himself  en- 
tered into  the  synagogue,  and  reasoned 
with  the  Jews. 

20  When  they  desired  him  to  tarry 
longer  time  with  them,  he  consented 
not;

xl  must  by  all  means  keep  this  feast 
that  Cometh  in  Jerusalem:  but  I  will 
return  again  unto  you,  if  God  will. 
And  he  sailed  from  Ephesus. 

22  And  when  he  had  landed  at 
Caesarea,  and  gone  up,  and  saluted  the 
church,  he  went  down  to  Antioch. 

23  And  after  he  had  spent  some 
time  there,  he  departed,  and  went  ov-

pass  into  Achaia,  the  brethren  wrote, 
exhorting  the  disciples  to  receive  him: 
who,  when  he  was  come,  helped  them 
much  which  had  believed  through 
grace:

The  ^'reat  increase  of  the  believers  lessened  the 
dt'uiand  of  silver  shrines  for  iJianu.  2t5  This 
made  u  »rreat  commotion  in  Kphesus  for  two 
hours.  Hr>  This  tumult  was  silenced  by  the 
town  clerk. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while 
Apollos  was  at  Corinth,  Paul  having 
passed  through  the  upper  coasts  came 
to  Ephesus;  and  finding  certain  disci- 
ples, 

2  He  said  unto  them.  Have  ye  re- 
ceived the  Holy  Ghost  since  ye  be- 
lieved? And  they  said  unto  him.  We 
have  not  so  much  as  heard  whether 
there  be  any  aHoly  Ghost. 

3  And  he  said  unto  them,  Unto 
what  then  were  ye  baptized?  And 
they  said,  Unto  John's  baptism. 

4  Then  said  Paul,  John  verily  bap- 
tized with  the  baptism  of  repent- 
ance, saying  unto  the  people,  that  they 
should  believe  on  him  which  should 
come  after  him,  that  is,  on  Christ  Je- 
sus. 

5  When  they  heard  this,  they  were 
baptized  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Je- 
sus. 

6  And  when  Paul  had  laid  his 
hands  upon  them,  the  bHoIy  Ghost 
came  on  them;  and  they  spake  with 
tongues,  and  cprophesied.

keep    my   judgments,    and    do    them.

know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  when  I  have 
opened  your  graves,  0  my  people,  and 
brought  you  up  out  of  your  graves, 

14  And  shall  put  my  Spirit  in  you, 
and  ye  shall  live,  and  I  shall  place  you 
in  your  own  land:  then  shall  ye  know 
that  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it,  and 
performed  it,  saith  the  Lord. 

ZECHARIAH  iv:6  bThen  he  an- 
swered and  spake  unto  me,  saying.

ubbabel,  saying,  Not  by  might,  nor  by 
power,  but  by  my  Spirit,  saith  the  Lord

seventy  elders:  and  it  came  to  pass, 
that,  when  the  spirit  rested  upon  them.

to  Cast  Out  an  Evil  Spirit. 


7  And  all  the  men  were  about 
twelve. 

8  And  he  went  into  the  synagogue, 
and  spake  boldly  for  the  space  of  three 
months,  disputing  and  persuading  the 
things  concerning  dthe  kingdom  of 
God. 

9  But  when  divers  were  hardened, 
and  believed  not,  but  spake  evil  of  that 
way  before  the  multitude,  he  departed 
from  them,  and  separated  the  dis- 
ciples, disputing  daily  in  the  school  of 
one  Tyrannus. 

10  And  this  continued  by  the  space 
of  two  years;  so  that  all  they  which 
dwelt  in  Asia  heard  the  word  of  the 
Lord   Jesus,   both  Jews  and  Greeks. 

11  And  God  wrought  special  mir- 
acles by  the  hands  of  Paul: 

12  So  that  from  his  body  were 
brought  unto  the  sick  handkerchiefs  or 
aprons,  and  efhe  diseases  departed 
from  them,  and  the  evil  spirits  went

they  prophesied,  and  did  not  cease. 

26  But  there  remained  two  of  the 
men  in  the  camp,  the  name  of  the 
one  was  Eldad,  and  the  name  of  the 
other  Medad:  and  the  spirit  rested  up- 
on them;  and  they  were  of  them  that 
were  written,  but  went  not  out  unto 
the  tabernacle:  and  they  prophesied  in 
the  camp. 

27  And  there  ran  a  young  man,  and 
told  Moses,  and  said,  Eldad  and  Me- 
dad do  prophesy  in  the  camp. 

28  And  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun,  the 
servant  of  Moses,  one  of  his  young 
men,  answered  and  said,  My  lord  Mo- 
ses,  forbid   them. 

29  And  Moses  said  unto  him,  En- 
viest  thou  for  my  sake?  would  God  that 
all  the  Lord's  people  were  prophets, 
and  that  the  Lord  would  put  his  Spir- 
it upon  them. 

DANIEL  ii:44  dAnd  in  the  days  of 
tliese  kings  shall  the  God  of  heaven 
set  up  a  kingdom,  which  shall  never 
be  destroyed;  and  the  kingdom  shall 
not  be  left  to  other  people,  but  it  shall 
break  in  pieces  and  consume  all  these 
kingdoms,  and  it  shall  stand  for  ever. 

PSALM  ciii:2  eBless  the  Lord,  0  my

13  Then  certain  of  the  vagabond 
Jews,  exorcists,  took  upon  them  to  call 
over  them  which  had  evil  spirits  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  saying,  fWe 
adjure  you  by  Jesus  whom  Paul  preach- 
eth. 

14  And  there  were  seven  sons  of 
one  Sceva,  a  Jew,  and  chief  of  the 
priests,  which  did  so. 

15  And  the  evil  spirit  answered  and 
said,  Jesus  I  know,  and  Paul  I  know; 
but  who  are  ye? 

16  And  the  man  in  whom  the  evil 
spirit  was  leaped  on  them,  and  over- 
came them,  and  prevailed  against 
them,  so  that  gthey  fled  out  of  that 
house  naked  and  wounded. 

17  And  this  was  known  to  all  the 
Jews  and  Greeks  also  dwelling  at  Eph- 
esus;  and  fear  fell  on  them  all,  and 
the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus  was  mag- 
nified. 

18  And  many  that  believed  came, 
and     tconfessed,     and     shewed     their

deeds. 

19  Many  of  them  also  which  used 
curious  arts  brought  their  books  to- 
gether, and  burned  them  before  all 
men:  and  they  counted  the  price  of 
them,  and  found  it  was  fifty  thousand 
pieces  of  silver. 

20  So  mightily  grew  the  word  of 
God  and  prevailed. 

21  After  these  things  were  ended, 
Paul  purposed  in  the  spirit,  when  he 
had  passed  through  Macedonia  and 
Achai,  to  go  to  Jerusalem,  saying,  Af- 
ter I  have  been  there,  I  must  also  see 
Rome. 

22  So  he  sent  into  Macedonia  two 
of  them  that  ministered  unto  him, 
Timothy  and  Erastus;    but  he  himself 

Lord. 

29  Is  not  my  word  like  as  a  fire? 
saith  the  Lord;  and  like  a  hammer  that 
breaketh   the  rock  in  pieces?

the  prophets,  saith  the  Lord,  that  steal 
my  words  every  one  from  his  neigh-

PSALM  cxv:3  iBut  our  God  is  in 
the  heavens:  he  hath  done  whatsoever 
he  hath  pleased. 

4  Their  idols  are  silver  and  gold, 
the  work  of  men's  hands. 

5  They  have  mouths,  but  they  speak 
not:  eyes  have  they,  but  they  see  not: 

6  They  have  ears,  but  they  hear  not: 
noses  have  they,  but  they  smell   not: 

7  They  have  hands,  but  they  han- 
dle not:  feet  have  they,  but  they  walk 
not:  neither  speak  they  through  their 
throat. 

8  They  that  make  them  are  like 
unto  them:  so  is  every  one  that  trust- 
eth  in  them. 

ISAIAH  xliv:9  They  that  make  a 
graven  image  are  all  of  men  vanity; 
and  their  delectable  things  shall  not 
profit:  and  they  are  their  own  wit- 
nesses; they  see  not,  nor  know;  that 
they  may  be  ashamed. 

10  Who  hath  formed  a  god,  or  mol- 
ten a  graven  image  that  is  profitable 
for  nothing? 

11  Behold,  all  his  fellows  shall  be 
ashamed:  and  the  workmen,  they  are 
of  men:  let  them  all  be  gathered  to- 
gether, let  them  stand  up;     yet     they 


stayed  in  Asia  for  a  season. 

23  And  at  the  same  time  there  arose 
no  small   stir  about  that  way. 

24  For  a  certain  man  named  De^ 
metrius,  a  silversmitb,  which  made  sil- 
ver shrines  for  Diana,  brought  no 
small  gain  unto  the  craftsmen; 

25  Whom  he  called  together  with 
the  workmen  of  like  occupation,  and 
said.  Sirs,  ye  know  that  oy  this  craft 
we  have  our  wealth. 

26  Moreover  ye  see  and  hear,  that 
not  alone  at  Ephesus,  but  almost 
throughout  all  Asia,  this  Paul  hath 
persuaded  and  turned  away  much 
people,  saying  that  they  'be  no  gods, 
which  are  made  with  hands: 

27  So  that  not  only  this  our  craft 

shall  fear,  and  they  shall  be  ashamed 
together. 

12  The  smith  with  the  tongs  both 
worketh  in  the  coals,  and  fashioneth 
it  with  hammers,  and  worketh  it  with 
the  strength  of  his  arms:  yea,  he  is 
hungry,  and  his  strength  faileth:  he 
drinketh    no    water,    and    is    faint. 

13  The  carpenter  stretcheth  out  his 
rule;  he  marketh  it  out  with  a  line; 
he  fitteth  it  with  planes,  and  he  mark- 
eth it  out  with  the  compass,  and  mak- 
eth  it  after  the  figure  of  a  man,  ac- 
cording to  the  beauty  of  a  man;  that 
it  may  remain  in  the  house. 

14  He  heweth  him  down  cedars,  and 
taketh  the  cypress  and  the  oak,  which 
he  strengtheneth  for  himself  among 
the  trees  of  the  forest:  he  planteth  an 
ash,  and  the  rain  doth  nourish  it. 

15  Then  shall  it  be  for  a  man  to 
burn:  for  he  will  take  thereof,  and 
warm  himself;  yea,  he  kindleth  it,  and 
baketh  bread;  yea,  he  maketh  a  god, 
and  worshippeth  it:  he  maketh  it  a 
graven  image,  and  faileth  down  there- 
to. 

16  He  burneth  part  thereof  in  the 
fire;  with  part  thereof  he  eateth  flesh; 
he  roasteth  roast,  and  is  satisfied:  yea, 
he  warmeth  himself,  and  saith.  Aha, 
I  am  warm,  I  have  seen  the  fire: 

17  And  the  residue  thereof  he  mak- 
eth a  god,  even  his  graven  image:  he 
faileth  down  unto  it,  and  worshippeth 
it,  and  prayeth  unto  it.  and  saith.  De- 
liver me;    for  thou  art  my  god.

is  in  danger  to  be  set  at  nought;  but 
also  that  the  temple  of  the  great  god- 
dess Diana  should  be  despised,  and  her 
magnificence  S'nould  be  destroyed, 
whom  all  Asia  and  the  world  worship- 
peth. 

28  And  when  they  heard  these  say- 
ings, they  were  full  of  wrath,  and 
cried  out,  saying,  jGreat  is  Diana  of 
the  Ephesians. 

29  And  the  whole  city  was  filled 
with  confusion:  and  having  caught 
Gains  and  Aristarchus,  men  of  Mace- 
donia, Paul's  companions  in  travel, 
they  rushed  with  one  accord  into  the 
theatre. 

30  And  when  Paul  would  have  en- 
tered in  unto  the  people,  the  disciples 
suffered  him   not. 

31  And  certain  of  the  chief  of  Asia, 
which  were  his  friends,  sent  linto  him, 

18  They  have  not  known  nor  under- 
stood: for  he  hath  shut  their  eyes,  that 
they  cannot  see;  and  their  hearts,  that 
they  cannot  understand. 

19  And  none  considereth  in  his 
heart,  neither  is  there  knowledge  nor 
understanding  to  say,  I  have  burned 
part  of  it  in  the  fire;  yea,  also  I  have 
baked  bread  upon  the  coals  thereof; 
I  have  roasted  flesh  and  eaten  it:  and 
shall  I  make  the  residue  thereof  an 
abomination?  shall  I  fall  down  to  the 
stock  of  a  tree? 

20  He  feedeth  on  ashes:  a  deceived 
heart  hath  turned  him  aside,  that  he 
cannot  deliver  his  soul,  nor  say,  Is 
there  not  a  lie  in  my  right  hand? 

JEREMIAH  x:3  For  the  customs  of 
the  people  are  vain:  for  one  cutteth  a 
tree  out  of  the  forest,  the  work  of  the 
hands  of  the  workman,  with  the  axe. 

4  They  deck  it  with  silver  and  with 
gold;  they  fasten  it  with  nails  and  with 
hammers,   that   it   move   not. 

5  They  are  upright  as  the  palm 
tree,  but  speak  not:  they  must  needs 
be  borne,  because  they  cannot  go.  Be 
not  afraid  of  them;  for  they  cannot 
do  evil,  neither  also  is  it  in  them  to 
do  good. 

DANIEL  111:1  jNebuchadnezzar  the 
king  made  an  image  of  gold,  whose 
height  was  threescore  cubits,  and  the 


desiring   him   that   he   would    not   ad- 
venture himself  into  the  theatre. 

32  Some  therefore  cried  one  thing, 
and  some  another:  for  the  assembly 
was  confused;  and  the  more  part  knew 
not  wherefore  they  were  come  to- 
gether. 

33  And  they  drew  Alexander  out  of 
the  multitude,  the  Jews  putting  him 
forward.  And  Alexander  beckoned 
with  the  hand,  and  would  have  made 
his  defence  unto  the  people. 

34  But  when  they  knew  that  he  was 
a  Jew,  all  with  one  voice  about  the 
space  of  two  hours  cried  out.  Great  is 
Diana  of  the  Ephesians. 

35  And  when  the  townclerk  had  ap- 
peased the  people,  he  said.  Ye  men  of 
Ephesus,  what  man  is  there  that  know- 
eth  not  how  that  the  city  of  the  Ephe- 
sians is  a  worshipper  of  the  kgreat  god- 
breadth  thereof  six  cubits:  he  set  it  up 
in  the  plain  of  Dura,  in  the  province 
of  Babylon. 

2  Then  Nebuchadnezzar  the  king 
sent  to  gather  together  the  princes,  the 
governors,  and  the  captains,  the 
judges,  the  treasurers,  the  counsellors, 
the  sheriffs,  and  all  the  rulers  of  the 
provinces,  to  come  to  the  dedication  of 
the  image  which  Nebuchadnezzar  the

3  Then  the  princes,  the  governors, 
and  captains,  the  judges,  the  treasur-

all  the  rulers  of  the  provinces,  were 
gathered  together  unto  the  dedication 
of  the  image  that  Nebuchadnezzar  the 
king  had  set  up;  and  they  stood  before 
the  image  that  Nebuchadnezzar  had  set 
up. 

4  Then  a  herald  cried  aloud,  To  you 
it  is  commanded,  O  people,  nations,  and 
languages, 

5  That  at  what  time  ye  hear  the 
sound  of  the  cornet,  flute,  harp,  sack- 
but,  psaltry,  dulcimer,  and  all  kinds 
of  music,  ye  fall  down  and  worship  the

worshippeth  shall  the  same  hour  be

36  Seeing  then  that  these  things 
rannot  be  spoken  against,  ye  ought  to 
be  quiet,  and  to  do  nothing  rashly. 

37  For  ye  have  brought  hither  these 
men,  which  are  neither  robbers  of

he  dismissed  the  assembly. 

CHAPTER  XX. 

Paul  went  to  Macedonia,  and  celebrated  the 
Lord's  supper  on  the  tirst  day  of  the  week 
(tireek,  the  Hrst  sabbath),  9  A  yountr  man, 
asleep,  fell  from  the  upt)er  chamber,  and  was 

JEREMIAH  li:37  kAnd  Babylon 
shall  become  heaps,  a  dwelling  place 
for  dragons,  an  astonishment,  and  a 
hissing,    without    an    inhabitant. 

DANIEL  lv:29  At  the  end  of 
twelve  months  he  [Nebuchadnezzar] 
walked  in  the  palace  of  the  kingdom 
of  Babylon. 

30  The  king  spake,  and  said,  Is  not 
this  great  Babylon,  that  I  have  built 
for  the  house  of  the  kingdom  by  the 
might  of  my  power,  and  for  the  hon- 
our of  my  majesty? 

31  While  the  word  was  in  the  king's 
mouth,  there  fell  a  voice  from  heaven, 
saying,  0  king  Nebuchadnezzar,  to 
thee  is  it  spoken;  The  kingdom  is  de- 
parted  from   thee. 

32  And  they  shall  drive  thee  from 
men.  and  thy  dwelling  shall  be  with 
the  beasts  of  the  field:  they  shall  make 
thee  to  eat  grass  as  oxen,  and  seven 
times  shall  pass  over  thee,  until  thou 
know  that  the  Most  High  ruleth  in 
the  kingdom  of  men.  and  giveth  it  to 
whomsoever  he  will. 

33  The     same   hour  was   the  thing 


dead.  10  He  was  restored  to  life.  13.  Pauls 
conu'iiny  stopped  at  several  places  on  the  way 
towards  Jerusalem  to  attend  Pentecost.  17  At 
Miletus  I'aul  had  an  ulTeclionate  purtinif  with 
the  church  at  Kphesus,  and  warned  them  of 
danjfers.  'M  Pauls  farewell  closed  with  prayer 
and  weeiiini.'- 

1  And  after  the  uproar  was  ceased, 
Paul  called  unto  him  the  disciples,  and 
embraced  them,  and  departed  for  to 
go    into    Macedonia. 

2  And  when  he  had  gone  over  those 
parts,  and  had  given  them  much  ex- 
hortation, he  came  into  Greece, 

3  And  there  abode  three  months. 
And  when  the  Jews  laid  wait  for  him, 
as  he  was  about  to  sail  into  Syria,  he 
purposed  to  return  through  Macedonia. 

4  And  there  accompanied  him  into 
Asia  Sopater  of  Berea;  and  of  the 
Thessalonians,  Aristarchus  and  Secun- 
dus;  and  Gains  of  Derbe,  and  Timothy, 
and  of  Asia,  Tychicus  and  Trophimus,

days. 

7  And  upon  the  *first  day  of  the 
week,  when  the  disciples  came  together 
to  break  bread,  Paul  preached  unto 
them,  ready  to  depart  on  the  morrow; 
and  continued  his  speech  until  mid- 
night. 

8  And  there  were  many  lights  in 
the  upper  chamber,  where  they  were 
gathered  together. 

9  And  there  sat  in  a  window  a  cer- 
tain young  man  named  Eutychus,  be- 
ing fallen  into  a  deep  sleep;  and  as 
Paul  was  long  preaching,  ne  sunk  down 
with  sleep,  and  fell  down  from  the 
third  loft,  and  was  taken  up  bdead. 

10  And  Paul  went  down,  and  cfell 
on  him,  and  embracing  him  said, 
Trouble  not  yourselves;  for  his  life  is 
in   him. 

11  When  he  therefore  was  come  up 
again,     and     had     broken  bread,  and 

Shalt  eat  unleavened  bread  seven  days, 
as  I  commanded  thee,  in  the  time  ap- 
pointed of  the  month  Abib;  for  in 
it  thou  camest  out  from  Egypt:  and 
none  shall  appear  before  me  empty;) 

GENESIS  ii:17  bBut  of  the  tree  of 
the  knowledge  of  good  and  evil,  thou 
Shalt  not  eat  of  it:  for  in  the  day  that 
thou  eatest  thereof  thou  shalt  surely 
die. 

I.  KINGS  xvii:21  cAnd  he  stretched 
himself  upon  the  child  three  times,  and 
cried  unto  the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord 
my  God,  I  pray  thee,  let  this  child's 
soul  come  into  him  again. 

22  And  the  Lord  heard  the  voice 
of  Elijah;  and  the  soul  of  the  child 
came  into  him  again,  and  he  revived. 

23  And  Elijah  took  the  child,  and 
brought  him  down  out  of  the  cham- 
ber into  the  house,  and  delivered  him 
unto  his  mother:  and  Elijah  said.  See, 
thy   son    liveth. 

II:  KINGS  iv:32  And  when  Elisha 
,was  come  into  the  house,  behold,  the 
child  was  dead,  and  laid  upon  his  bed. 

33  He  went  in  therefore,  and  shut 
the  door  upon  them  twain,  and  prayed 
unto  the  Lord. 

34  And  he  went  up,  and  lay  upon 
the  child,  and  put  his  mouth  upon  his

eaten,  and  talked  a  long  while,  even 
till  break  of  day,  so  he  departed. 

12  And  they  brought  the  young  man 
alive,  and  were  not  a  little  comforted. 

13  And  we  went  before  to  ship,  and 
sailed  unto  Assos,  there  intending  to 
take  in  Paul:  for  so  had  he  appoint- 
ed, minding  himself  to  go  afoot. 

14  And  when  he  met  with  us  at  As- 
sos, we  took  him  in,  and  came  to  Mity- 
lene. 

15  And  we  sailed  thence,  and  came 
the  next  day  over  against  Chios;  and 
the  next  day  we  arrived  at  Samos,  and 
tarried  at  Trogyllium;  and  the  next 
day  we  came  to  Miletus. 

16  For  Paul  had  determined  to  sail 
by  Ephesus,  because  he  would  not 
spend  the  time  in  Asia:  for  he  hasted, 
if  it  were  possible  for  him,  to  be  at 
Jerusalem  the  day  of  dPentecost. 

17  i^nd  from  Miletus     he     sent     to 

mouth,  and  his  eyes  upon  his  eyes,  and 
his  hands  upon  his  hands:  and  he 
stretched  himself  upon  the  child:  and 
the  flesh  of  the  child  waxed  warm. 

35  And  he  returned,  and  walked  in 
the  house  to  and  fro:  and  went  up, 
and  stretched  himself  upon  him: 
and  the  child  sneezed  seven  times,  and 
the  child  opened  his  eyes. 

36  And  he  called  Gehazi,  and  said. 
Call  this  Shunammite.  So  he  called 
her.  And  when  she  was  come  in  un- 
to him,  he  said.  Take  up  thy  son. 

37  Then  she  went  in,  and  fell  at  his 
feet,  and  bowed  herself  to  the  ground, 
and  took  up  her  son  and  went  out.

at  all  s3asons, 

19  Serving  the  Lord  with  eall  hu- 
mility of  mind,  and  with  many  tears, 
and  temptations,  which  befell  me  by 
the  lying  in  wait  of  the  Jews:

that  was  profitable  unto  you,  but  have 
shewed  you,  and  have  taught  you  pub-

offering    unto    the    Lord.

shall  be  two  tenth  deals  of  fine  flour 
mingled  with  oil,  an  offering  made  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord  for  a  sweet  savour: 
and  the  drink  offering  thereof  shall  be 
of  wine,  the  fourth  part  of  a  hin. 

14  And  we  shall  eat  neither  bread, 
nor  parched  corn,  nor  green  ears,  un- 
til the  selfsame  day  that  ye  have 
brought  an  offering  unto  your  God:  it 
shall  be  a  statute  for  ever  throughout 
your  generations  in  all  your  dwellings. 

15  And  ye  shall  count  unto  you  from 
the  morrow  after  the  Sabbath,  from  the 
day  that  ye  brought  the  sheaf  of  the 
wave  offering;  seven  sabbaths  shall 
be  complete: 

16  Even  unto  the  morrow  after  the 
seventh  sabbath  shall  ye  number  fifty 
days:  and  ye  shall  offer  a  new  meat 
offering  unto  the  Lord.

God,  lift  up  thine  hand:  forget  not

22  And  now,  behold,  I  go  bound  in 
the  spirit  unto  Jerusalem,  not  knowing 
the  things  that  shall  befall  me  there: 

23  Save  that  the  Holy  Ghost  wit- 
nesseth  in  every  city,  saying  that  bonds 
and    fafilictions   abide    me. 

24  But  none  of  these  things  move 
me,  neither  count  I  my  life  dear  unto 
myself,  so  that  I  might  finish  my 
course  gwith  joy,  and  the  ministry, 
which  I  have  received  of  the  Lord  Je- 

lowly:  but  the  proud  he  knoweth  afar

ye  all,  among  whom  I  have  gone

II.  KINGS  xix:1.5  hAnd  Hezekiah

Lord  God  of  Israel,  which  dwellest  be-

even  thou  alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms 
of  the  earth;  thou  hast  made  heaven 
and  earth. 

ISAIAH  xxxvii:16  O  Lord  of  hosts, 
God  of  Israel,  that  dwellest  between 
the  cherubim,  thou  art  the  God,  even 
thou  alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth:  thou  hast  made  heaven  and 
earth. 

DANIEL  ii:44  And  in  the  days  of 
these  kings  shall  the  God  of  heaven 
set  up  a  kingdom,  which  shall  never 
be  destroyed:  and  the  kingdom  shall 
not  be  left  to  other  people,  but  it  shall 
break  in  pieces  and  consume  all  these 
kingdoms,  and  it  shall  stand  for  ever. 

JEREMIAH  XXIII:  1  iWoe  be  unto 
the  pastors  that  destroy  and  scatter  the 
sheep  of  my  pasture!  saith  the  Lord. 

2  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel  against  the  pastors  that  feed 
my  people;  Ye  have  scattered  my  flock, 
and  driven  them  away,  and  have  not 
visited  them:  behold,  I  will  visit  upon 
you  the  evil  of  your  doings,  saith  the 
,Lord. 

JEREMIAH  1:17  ilsrael  is  a  scat-

devoured  him;  and  last  this  Nebuchad- 
nezzar king  of  Babylon  hath  broken  his 
bones. 

8    Therefore  thus    saith    the  Lord 


Clare  unto  you  all  the  counsel  of  God. 

28  Take  heed  therefore  unto  your- 
selves, and  to  all  the  flock,  over  the 
which  the  Holy  Ghost  hath  made  you 
ioverseers,  to  feed  the  church  of  God, 
which  he  hath  purchased  with  his  own

will  punish  the  king  of  Babylon  and 
his  land,  as  I  have  punished  the  king 
of  Assyria. 

EZEKIEL  xxxiv:6  My  sheep  wan- 
dered through  all  the  mountains,  and 
upon  every  high  hill:  yea,  my  flock 
was  scattered  upon  all  the  face  of  the 
earth,  and  none  did  search  or  seek  af- 
ter them. 

7  Therefore,  ye  shepherds,  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord; 

8  As  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  because  my  flock  became  a  prey, 
and  my  flock  became  meat  to  every 
beast  of  the  fleld,  because  there  was 
no  shepherd,  neither  did  my  shepherds 
search  for  my  flock,  but  the  shepherds 
fed  themselves,  and  fed  not  my  flock; 

9  Therefore,  O  ye  shepherds,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord; 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Be- 
hold, I  am  against  the  shepherds;  and 
I  will  require  my  flock  at  their  hand, 
and  cause  them  to  cease  from  feeding 
the  flock;  neither  shall  the  shepherds 
feed  themselves  any  more;  for  I  will 
deliver  my  flock  from  their  mouth,  that 
they  may  not  be  meat  for  them. 

11  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God; 
Behold,  I,  even  I,  will  both  search  my 
sheep  and  seek  them  out. 

12  As  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his 
flock  in  the  day  that  he  is  among  his 
sheep  that  are  scattered;  so  will  I  seek 
out  my  sheep,  and  will  deliver  them 
out  of  all  places  where  they  h,ave  been 
scattered  in  the  cloudy  and  dark  day. 

13  And  I  will  bring  them  out  from 
the  people,  and  gather  them  from  the 
countries,  and  will  bring  them  to  their 
own  land,  and  feed  them  upon  the 
mountains  of  Israel  by  the  rivers,  and 
in  all  the  inhabited  places  of  the  coun- 
try. 

14  I  will  feed  them  in  a  good  pas- 
ture, and  upon  the  high  mountains  of 
Israel  shall  their  fold  be:   there  shall

that  by  the  space  of  three  years  1 
ceased  not  to  warn  every  one  night  and 
day  with  tears. 

32  And  now,  brethren,  I  commend 
you  to  God,  and  to  the  word  of  his 
grace,  which  is  al)le  to  build  you  up, 
and  to  give  you  an  inheritance  among 
all  them  which  are  sanctified.

34  Yea,  ye  yourselves  know,  that 
these  hands  have  mini.stered  unto  my 
necessities,  and  to  them  that  were  with 
me. 

35  I  have  shewed  you  all  things, 
how  that  so  laboring  ye  ought  to  sup- 
port the  weak,  and  to  remember  the 
words  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  how  he  said. 
It  is  more  blessed  to  give  than  to  re- 
ceive. 

36  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  kneeled  down,  and  prayed  with 
them  all. 

37  And  they  all  wept  sore,  and  ifell 
on    Paul's    neck,    and    kissed    him, 

38  Sorrowing  most  of  all  for  the 
words     which     lie     spake,     that  they 

they  lie  in  a  good  fold,  and  in  a  fat 
pasture  shall  they  feed  upon  the  moun- 
tains of  Israel. 

15  I  will  feed  my  flock,  and  I  will 
cause  them  to  lie  down,  saith  the  Lord 
God. 

16  I  will  seek  that  which  was  lost, 
and  bring  again  that  which  was  driven 
away,  and  will  bind  up  that  which  was 
broken,  and  will  strengthen  that 
which  was  sick:  but  I  will  destroy  the 
fat  and  the  strong;  I  will  feed  them 
with  judgment.

CHAPTER  XXL 

Paul  would  not  be  dissuaded  from  ffoinfr  to 
Jerusalem.  8  Philip  had  four  daui;hler  who 
prophesied.  17  I'aul  and  company  were  cor- 
dially received  at  Jerusak-in.  21  The  Jewish 
Christians  persuaded  I'aul  to  purify  himself  as 
a  Nazarite.  27  A  Jewish  mob  toolt  Paul;  but 
the  chief  captain  with  a  band  of  soldiers  saved 
I'aul  from  death. 

1  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
we  were  gotten  from  them,  and  had 
launched,  we  came  with  a  straight 
course  unto  Coos,  and  the  day  follow- 
ing unto  Rhodes,  and  from  thence  unto 
Patara: 

2  And  finding  a  ship  sailing  over 
unto  Phenecia,  we  went  aboard,  and 
set  forth. 

3  Now  when  we  had  discovered  Cy- 
prus, we  left  it  on  the  left  hand,  and 
sailed  into  Syria,  and  landed  at  Tyre: 
for  there  the  ship  was  to  unlade  her 
burden. 

4  And  finding  disciples,  we  tarried 
there  seven  days:  who  said  to  Paul 
through  the  Spirit,  that  he  should  not 
go  up  to  Jerusalem. 

5  And  when  we  had  accomplished 
those  days,  we  departed  and  went  our 
way;  and  they  all  brought  us  on  our 
way,  with  their  wives  and  children, 
till  we  were  out  of  the  city:   and  we

have  I  defrauded?  whom  have  I  op-

therewith?  and  I  will  restore  it  you.

Paul's  Company   Entertained 


THE  ACTS  XXI 


by  Philip  in  Csesarea. 


kneeled   down     on     the     shore,     and 
aprayed. 

6  And  when  we  had  taken  our  leave 
one  of  another,  we  took  ship;  and  they 
returned    home    again. 

7  And  when  we  had  finished  our 
course  from  Tyre,  we  came  to  Ptole- 
mais,  and  saluted  the  brethren,  and 
abode  with  them  one  day. 

8  And  the  next  day  we  that  were 
of  Paul's  company  departed,  and  came 
unto  Csesarea;  and  we  entered  into 
the  house  of  Philip  the  evangelist, 
which  was  one  of  the  seven;  and  abode 
with  him. 

9  And  the  same  man  had  bfour 
daughters,  virgins,  which  did  prophesy. 

10  And  as  we  tarried  there  many 
days,  there  came  down  from  Judaea  a 
certain  prophet,  named  Agabus. 

11  And  when  he  was  come  unto  us, 
he  took  Paul's  girdle,  and  bound  his 
own  hands  and  feet,  and  said,  *Thus 
saith  the  Holy  Ghost,  So  shall  the  Jews 
at  Jerusalem  bind  the  man  that  own- 
eth  this  girdle,  and  shall  deliver  him 
into  the  hands  of  the  Gentiles. 

12  And  when  we  heard  these  things, 
both  we,  and  they  of  that  place,  be- 
sought him  not  to  go  up  to  Jerusalem. 

JOEL  ii:28  bAnd  it  shall  come  to 
pass   afterward,    that   I   will   pour  out 

*  Agabus  speaking  by  the  authority  of  the 
Holy  Ghost  said  substantially  that  the  Jews  at 
Jerusalem  would  bind  Paul  and  deliver  him  to 
the  Gentiles.  Paul's  friends  besought  him  not 
to  go  to  Jerusalem.  If  he  had  yielded  to  their  en- 
treaty, he  would  have  been  guided  by  human 
sympathy  instead  of  divine  wisdom.  But  are 
we  justified  in  going  into  known  danger  ?  We 
answer  No,  unless  we  are  sure  God  leads  us 
there;  this  we  believe  was  the  case  of  Paul.  But 
the  devil  leads  persons  to  do  strange  and  wicked 
deeds  by  referring  to  the  Scriptures.  A  man  in 
Massachusetts  by  the  name  of  Morgan,  believed 
that  he  should  plunge  a  dagger  into  the  heart 
of  his  lovely  daughter.  But  there  was  no  angel 
as  in  the  case  of  Abraham  to  intercept  him. 
So  he  committed  the  crime,  believing  that  God 
would  restore  his  daughter  to  life. 
-  The  devil  tried  his  hand  on  Jesus  by  setting 
him  on  a  pinnacle  of  the  temple,  "And  saith  un- 
to him.  If  thou  be  the  Son  of  God,  cast  thyself 
down:  for  it  is  written.  He  shall  give  his  angel 
charge  concerning  thee:  and  in  their  hands 
they  shall  bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any  time  thou 
dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone."  The  devil  sub- 
stantially quoted  the  passage  of  Scripture,  but 
he  misapplied  it,  just  as  fanatics  are  continual- 
ly doing. 


13  Then  Paul  answered,  What  mean 
ye  to  weep  and  to  break  mine  heart? 
for  I  am  ready  not  to  be  bound  only, 
but  also  to  die  at  Jerusalem  for  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

14  And  when  he  would  not  be  per- 
suaded, we  ceased,  saying,  The  will  of 
the  Lord  be  done. 

15  And  after  those  days  we  took 
up  our  carriages,  and  went  up  to  Je- 
rusalem. 

16  And  there  went  with  us  also  cer- 
tain of  the  disciples  of  Caesarea,  and 
brought  with  them  one  Mnason  of  Cy- 
prus, an  old  disciple,  with  whom  we 
should  lodge. 

17  And  when  we  were  come  to  Je- 
rusalem, the  brethren  received  us  glad- 
ly. 

18  And  the  day  following  Paul  went 
in  with  us  unto  James;  and  all  the  el- 
ders were  present. 

19  And  when  he  had  saluted  them, 
he  declared  particularly  what  things 
God  had  wrought  among  cthe  Gentiles 
by  his  ministry. 

20  And  when  they  heard  it,  they 
glorified  the  Lord,  and  said  unto  him, 
Thou  seest,  brother,  how  many  thou- 
sands of  Jews  there  are  which  believe; 

my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh;  and  your 
sons  and  your  daughters  shall  proph- 
esy, 

ISAIAH  xi:10  cAnd  in  that  day 
there  shall  be  a  root  of  Jesse,  which 
shall  stand  for  an  ensign  of  the  peo-

his  rest  shall  be  glorious. 

JEREMIAH  xvi:19  0  Lord,  my

profit.

and  they  are  all  zealous  of  the  law: 

21  And  they  are  informed  of  thee, 
that  thou  teachest  all  the  Jews  which 
are  among  the  Gentiles  to  forsake 
Moses,  saying  that  they  ought  not  to 
circunuise  their  children,  neither  to 
walk  after  the  customs. 

22  What  is  it  therefore?  the  mul- 
titude must  needs  come  together:  for 
they  will  hear  that  thou  art  come. 

23  Do  therefore  this  that  we  say  to 
thee:  We  have  four  men  which  have 
a  vow  on  them; 

24  Them  take,  and     purify     thyself 

then,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

M'MHl'JRS  VI  :1  dAnd  the  Lord 
spake  unto   Moses,   saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Israel, 
and  say  unto  them.  When  either  man 
or  woman  shall  separate  themselves  to 
vow  a  vow  of  a  Nazarite,  to  separate 
themselves  unto  the  Lord: 

13  And  this  is  the  law  of  the  Naz- 
arite:  wlien  the  days  of  his  separation 
are  fulfilled,  he  shall  be  brought  unto 
the  door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation: 

IS  .\nd  the  Nazarite  shall  shave  the 
head  of  his  separation  at  the  door  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  and 
shall  take  the  hair  of  the  head  of  his 
separation,  and  put  it  in  the  fire  which 
is  under  the  sacrifice  of  the  peace  offer- 
ings. 

GENESIS  XXXV :  2  eThen  Jacob 
said  unto  his  household,  and  to  all 
that  were  with  him.  Put  away  the 
strange  gods  that  are  among  you,  and 
be  clean,   and  change  your  garments: 

EXODrS  xx:3  Thou  shalt  have 
no  other  gods  before  me. 

23  Ye  shall  not  make  with  me  gods 
of  silver,  neither  shall  ye  make  unto 
you  gods  of  gold.

shalt  thou  sot  thee  up  any  image;

II.  KINGS  xvii:12  For  they  served 
Idols,  whereof  the  Lord  had  said  unto 
them.  Ye  shall  not  do  this  thing. 

EZEKIEL  xx:30  Wherefore  say  un- 
to the  house  of  Israel,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God;  Are  ye  polluted  after  the 
manner  of  your  fathers?  and  commit 
ye  whoredom  after  their  abominations?

with  them,  and  be  at  charges  with 
them,  that  they  may  dshave  their 
heads:  and  all  may  know  that  those 
things,  whereof  they  were  informed 
concerning  thee,  are  nothing;  but  that 
thou  thyself  also  walkest  orderly,  and 
keepest  the  law. 

25  As  touching  the  Gentiles  which 
believe,  we  have  written  and  conclud- 
ed that  they  observe  no  such  thing, 
save  only  that  they  keep  themselves 
from  things  eoffered  to  idols,  and 
ffrom  blood,  and  from  strangled,  and 
pfrom  fornication. 

when  ye  make  your  sons  to  pass 
through  the  fire,  ye  pollute  yourselves 
with  all  your  idols,  even  unto  this  day: 
and  shall  I  be  inquired  of  by  you,  O 
house  of  Israel?  As  I  live,  saith  the 
Lord  God,  I  will  not  be  inquired  of  by 
you. 

GENESIS  ix:4  fBut  flesh  with  the 
life  thereof,  which  is  the  blood  thereof, 
shall  ye  not  eat. 

LEVITICUS  iii:17  It  shall  be  a  per- 
petual statute  for  your  generations 
throughout  all  your  dwellings,  that  ye 
eat  neither  fat  nor  blood. 

LEVITICUS  xvii :  14  For  it  is  the  life 
of  all  flesh;  the  blood  of  it  is  for  the 
life  thereof:  therefore  I  said  unto  the 
children  of  Israel,  Ye  shall  eat  the 
blood  of  no  manner  of  flesh;  for  the 
life  of  all  flesh  is  the  blood  thereot: 
whosoever  eateth  it  shall  be  cut  off. 

DEUTERONOMY  xii:16  Only  ye 
shall  not  eat  the  blood;  ye  shall  pour 
it  upon  the  earth  as  water. 

23  Only  be  sure  that  thou  eat  not 
the  blood:  for  the  blood  is  the  life; 
and  thou  mayest  not  eat  the  life  with 
the  flesh.

Paul  in  Jerusalem. 


26  Then  Paul  took  the  men,  and  the 
next  day  purifying  himself  with  them 
entered  into  the  temple,  to  signify  the 
accomplishment  of  the  days  of  purifi- 
cation, until  that  ean  offering  should 
be  offered  for  every  one  of  them. 

27  And  when  the  seven  days  were 
almost  ended,  the  Jews  which  were  of 
Asia,  when  they  saw  him  in  the  tem- 
ple, stirred  up  all  the  people,  and  laid 
hands  on  him, 

28  Crying  out.  Men  of  Israel,  help; 
This  is  the  man,  that  teacheth  all  men 
every  where  against  the  people,  and  the 
law,  and  this  place:  and  further 
brought  Greeks  also  into  the  temple, 
and  hath  polluted  this  holy  place. 

29  (For  they  had  seen  before  with 
him  in  the  city  Trophimus  an  Ephe- 
sian,  whom  they  supposed  that  Paul 
had  brought  into  the  temple.) 

30  And  all  the  city  was  moved,  and 
the  people  ran  together:  and  they  took 
Paul,  and  drew  him  out  of  the  temple: 
and  forthwith  the  doors  were  shut.

me  to  anger. 

NUMBERS  vi:13  eAnd  this  is  the 
laM'  of  the  Nazarite:  when  the  days  of 
his  separation  are  fulfilled,  he  shall  be 
brought  unto  the  door  of  the  taberna- 
cle of  the  congregation: 

14  And  he  shall  offer  his  offering 
unto  the  Lord,  one  he  lamb  of  the  first 
year  without  blemish  for  a  burnt  of- 
fering, and  one  ewe  lamb  of  the  first 
year  without  blemish  for  a  sin  offer- 
ing, and  one  ram  without  blemish  for 
peace  offerings, 

15  And  a  basket  of  unleavened 
bread,  cakes  of  fine  flour  mingled  with 
oil,  and  wafers  of  unleavened  bread 
anointed  with  oil,  and  their  meat  of- 
fering, and  their  drink  offerings. 

16  And  the  priest  shall  bring  them 
before  the  Lord,  and  shall  offer  his  sin 
offering,  and  his  burnt  offering: 

17  And  he  shall  offer  the  ram  for  a 
sacrifice  of  peace  offerings  unto  the 
Lord,  with  the  basket  of  unleavened 
bread:  the  priest  shall  offer  also  his 
meat  offering,  and  his  drink  offering. 

EXODUS  xx:19  fThou  shalt  not

31  And  as  they  went  about  to  fkill 
him,  tidings  came  unto  the  chief  cap- 
tain of  the  band,  that  all  Jerusalem 
was  in  an  uproar: 

32  Who  immediately  took  soldiers 
and  centurions,  and  ran  down  unto 
them:  and  when  they  saw  the  chief 
captain  and  the  soldiers,  they  left  beat- 
ing of  Paul. 

33  Then  the  chief  captain  came 
near,  and  took  him,  and  commanded 
him  to  be  gbound  with  two  chains;  and 
demanded  who  he  was,  and  what  he 
had  done. 

34  And  some  cried  one  thing,  some 
another,  among  the  multitude:  and 
when  he  could  not  know  the  certainty 
for  the  tumult,  he  commanded  him  to 
be  carried  into  the  castle. 

35  And  when  he  came  upon  the 
stairs,  so  it  was,  that  he  was  borne  of 
the  soldiers  for  the  violence  of  the  peo- 
ple. 

36  For  the  multitude  of  the  people 
followed  after,  crying.  Away  with  him. 

LEVITICUS  xxiv:17  And  he  that 
killeth  any  man  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death. 

NUMBERS  xxxv:30  Whoso  killeth

to  death  by  the  mouth  of  witnesses: 
but  one  witness  shall  not  testify 
against  any  person  to  cause  him  to  die. 

DEUTERONOMY  xvii:6  At  the 
mouth  of  two  witnesses,  or  three  wit-

one  witness  he  shall  not  be  put  to

DANIEL  iii:20  g[Nebuchadnezzar]

37  And  as  Paul  was  to  be  led  into 
the  castle,  he  said  unto  the  chief  cap- 
tain, May  I  speak  unto  thee?  Who 
said,  Canst  thou  speak  Greek? 

38  Art  not  thou  that  Egyptian, 
which  before  these  days  madest  an  up- 
roar, and  leddest  out  into  the  wilder- 
ness four  thousand  men  that  were 
murderers? 

39  But  Paul  said,  I  am  a  man  which 
am  a  Jew  of  Tarsus,  a  city  of  Cilicla, 
a  citizen  of  no  mean  city:  and,  I  be- 
seech thee,  suffer  me  to  speak  unto  the 
people. 

40  And  when  he  had  given  him  li- 
cense, Paul  stood  on  the  stairs,  and

ple.    And  when  there  was  made  a  great

they  kept  the  more  silence:  and  he 
saith,)

yet  brought  up  in  this  city  aat  the  feet

mother,  or  thy  son,  or  thy  daughter, 
or  the  wife  of  thy  bosom,  or  thy  friend, 
which  is  as  thine  own  soul,  entice  thee 
secretly,  saying.  Let  us  go  and  serve 
other  gods,  which  thou  hast  not  known,

which  are  round  about  you,  nigh  unto 
thee,  or  far  off  from  thee,  from  the  one 
end  of  the  earth  even  unto  the  other

nor  hearken  unto  him;  neither  shall 
thine  eye  pity  him,  neither  shalt  thou 
spare,  neither  shalt  thou  conceal  him:

thine  hand  shall  be  first  upon  him  to

sought  to  thrust  thee  away  from  the

as  ye  all  are  this  day. 

4  And  I  persecuted  this  way  unto 
ethe  death,  binding  and  delivering  in- 
to prisons  both  men  and  women. 

5  As  also  the  high  priest  doth  bear 
me  witness,  and  all  the  estate  of  the  el- 
ders: from  whom  also  I  received  letters 
unto  the  brethren  and  went  to  Damas- 
cus, to  bring  them  which  were  there 
bound  unto  Jerusalem,  for  to  be 
punished. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  I 
made  my  journey,  and  was  come  nigh 
unto  Damascus  about  noon,  suddenly 
there  shone  from  heaven  a  great  light 
round  about  me.

heard  a  voice  saying  unto  me,  Saul, 
Saul,  why  persecutest  thou  me? 

8  And  I  answered.  Who  art  thou. 
Lord?  And  he  said  unto  me,  I  am  Je- 
sus of  Nazareth,  whom  thou  persecut- 
est. 

9  And  dthey  that  were  with  me  saw 
indeed  the  light,  and  were  afraid;  but 
they  heard  not  the  voice  of  him  that 
spake  to  me. 

10  And  I  said.  What  shall  I  do. 
Lord?  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me. 
Arise,     and     go     into  Damascus;    and 

Lord     thy     God,     in  transgressing  his 
covenant, 

o  And  hath  gone  and  served  other 
gods,  and  worshipped  them,  either  the 
sun,  or  moon,  or  any  of  the  host  of 
heaven,  which  I  have  not  commanded; 

4  And  it  be  told  thee,  and  thou  hast 
heard  oi  it,  and  inquired  diligently, 
and.  behold,  it  be  true,  and  the  thing 
certain,  that  such  abomination  is 
wrought  in  Israel: 

5  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth  that 
man  or  that  woman,  which  have  com- 
mitted that  wicked  thing,  unto  thy 
gates,  even  that  man  or  that  woman, 
and  Shalt  stone  them  with  stones,  till 
they  die. 

LEVITICUS  xxiv:13  cAnd  the 
Lord  spake  unto  Moses,  saying, 

14  Bring  forth  him  that  hath 
cursed  without  the  camp;  and  let  all 
that  heard  him  lay  their  hands  upon 


there  it  shall  oe  told  thee  of  all  things 
which  are  appointed  for  thee  to  do. 

11  And  when  I  could  not  see  for 
the  glory  of  that  light,  being  led  by 
the  hand  of  them  that  were  with  me, 
I  came  into  Damascus. 

12  And  one  Ananias,  a  devout  man 
according  to  the  law,  having  a  good 
report  of  all  the  Jews  which  dwelt 
there, 

13  Came  unto  me,  and  stood,  and 
said  unto  me.  Brother  Saul,  ereceive 
thy  sight.  And  the  same  hour  I 
looked  up  upon  him. 

14  And  he  said.  The  God  of  our  fa- 
thers hath  chosen  tbee,  that  thou 
shouldest  know  his  will,  and  see  that 
Just  One,  and  shouldest  hear  the 
voice  of  his  mouth. 

15  For  thou  shalt  be  fhis  witness 
unto  all  men  of  what  thou  hast  seen 
and  heard. 

16  And  now  why  tarriest  thou? 
arise,  and  be  baptized,  and  wash  away 
thy  sins,  calling  on  the  name  of  the 
Lord. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
I  was  come  again  to  Jerusalem,  even 
while  gl  prayed  in  the  temple,  I  was 
in  a  trance; 

his  head,  and  let  all  the  congregation 
stone  him. 

DANIEL  x:7  dAnd  I  Daniel  alone 
saw  the  vision:  for  the  men  that  were 
with  me  saw  not  the  vision;  but  a 
great  quaking  fell  upon  them,  so  that 
they  fled  to  hide  themselves. 

8    Therefore  I  was  left  alone. 

ISAIAH  xlii:6  el  the  Lord  have 
called  thee  in  righteousness,  and  will 
hold  thine  hand,  and  will  keep  thee, 
and  give  thee  for  a  covenant  of  the

7  To  open  the  blind  eyes,  to  bring 
out  the  prisoners  from  the  prison,  and 
them  that  sit  in  darkness  out  of  the 
prison  house.

18  And  saw  him  saying  unto  me, 
Make  haste,  and  get  thee  quickly  out 
of  Jerusalem:  for  they  will  not  re- 
ceive thy  testimony  concerning  me. 

19  And  I  said,  Lord,  they  know 
that  I  Imprisoned  and  beat  in  every 
synagogue  them  that  believed  on 
thee: 

20  And  when  the  blood  of  thy 
martyr  Stephen  was  shed,  hi  also  was 
standing  by,  and  consenting  unto  his 
death,  and  kept  the  raiment  of  them 
that  slew  him. 

21  And  he  said  unto  me.  Depart: 
for  I  will  send  thee  far  hence  unto 
ithe  Gentiles. 

22  And  they  gave  him  audience 
unto  this  word,  and  then  lifted  up 
their  voices,  and  said.  Away  with  such 
a  fellow  from  the  earth:  for  it  is  not 
fit  that  he  should  live. 

23  And  as  they  cried  out,  and  cast 
off  their  clothes,  and  threw  dust  into 
the  air, 

24  The    chief    captain    commanded 
'him  to  be  brought  into  the  castle,  and 

bade  that  he  should  be  examined  by 
scourging;  that  he  might  know 
wherefore  they  cried  so  against  him. 

25  And  as  Jthey  bound  him  with 
thongs,  Paul  said  unto  the  centurion 
that  stood  by,  Is  it  lawful  for  you  to 
scourge  a  man  that  is  a  Roman,  and 
uncondemned? 

26  When  the  centurion  heard  that, 

thee  in  a  time  when  thou  mayest  be 
found:  surely  in  the  floods  of  great 
waters  they  shall  not  come  nigh  unto 
him. 

PSALM  xxxii:5  hi  acknowledged 
my  sin  unto  thee,  and  mine  iniquity 
have  I  not  hid.  I  said,  I  will  confess 
my  transgressions  unto  the  Lord;  and 
thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my  sin. 

ISAIAH  xliii:25  I,  even  I,  am  he 
that  blotteth  out  thy  transgressions 
for  mine  own  sake,  and  will  not  re- 
member thy  sins.

there  shall  be  a  root  of  Jesse,  which 
shall  stand  for  an  ensign  of  the  peo- 


he  went  and  told  the  chief  captain, 
saying.  Take  heed  what  thou  doest; 
for  this  man  is  a  Roman. 

27  Then  the  chief  captain  came, 
and  said  unto  him.  Tell  me,  art  thou 
a  Roman?       He  said,  Yea. 

28  And  the  chief  captain  answered. 
With  a  great  sum  obtained  I  this 
freedom.  And  Paul  said.  But  I  was 
free  born. 

29  Then  straightway  they  departed 
from  him  which  should  have  exam- 
ined him:  and  the  chief  captain  also 
was  afraid,  after  he  knew  that  he  was 
a  Roman,  and  because  he  had  bound 
him. 

30  On  the  morrow,  because  he 
would  have  known  the  certainty 
wherefore  he  was  accused  of  the  Jews, 
he  loosed  him  from  his  bands,  and 
commanded  the  chief  priests  and  all 
their  council  to  appear,  and  brought 
Paul  down,  and  set  him  before  them. 

CHAPTER  XXIII. 

Puul  pleaded  his  cause.  6  As  part  of  the 
council  were  Sadducees  and  the  other  part 
Phari.sees.  Paul  declared  his  hope  of  the  resur- 
rection, which  raised  a  discussion  between  the 
factions.  11  God  encouratred  him.  14  The 
Jews  la.vintr  wait  for  Paul,  which  was  made 
known  to  the  chief  captain.  27  Paul  was  con- 
veyed to  Felix  the  governor,  at  Caesarea. 

1  And  Paul,  earnestly  beholding 
the  council,  said.  Men  and  brethren, 
I  have  lived  in  all  good  conscience  be- 
fore God  until  this  day. 

2  And  the  high  priest  Ananias 
commanded   them   that   stood  by   him 

pie;  to  it  shall  the  Gentiles  seek:  and 
his  rest  shall  be  glorious. 

ISAIAH  xlix:6  And  he  said.  It  is 
a  light  thing  that  thou  shouldest  be 
my  servant  to  raise  up  the  tribes  of 
Jacob,  and  to  restore  the  preserved  of 
Israel:  I  will  also  give  thee  for  a  light 
to  the  Gentiles,  that  thou  mayest  be 
my  salvation  unto  the  end  of  the 
earth. 

DANIEL  lii:21  JThen  these  men 
were  bound  In  their  coats,  their  hos- 
en,  and  their  hats,  and  their  other 
garments,  and  were  cast  into  the 
midst  of  the  burning  flery  furnace.

ato  smite  him  on  the  mouth. 

3  Then  said  Paul  unto  him,  Grod 
shall  smite  thee,  thou  whited  wall:  for 
sittest  thou  to  judge  me  after  the  law, 
and  bcommandest  me  to  be  smitten 
contrary  to  the  law? 

4  And  they  that  stood  by  said,  Re- 
vilest  thou  God's  high  priest? 

5  Then  said  Paul,  I  wist  not, 
brethren,  that  he  was  the  high  priest: 
for  it  is  written,  cThou  shalt  not 
speak  evil  of  the  ruler  of  thy  people. 

6  But  when  Paul  perceived  that 
the  one  part  were  Sadducees,  and  the 
other  Pharisees,  he  cried  out  in  the 
council.  Men  and  brethren,  I  am  a 
Pharisee,  the  son  of  a  Pharisee:  of  the 
hope  and  resurrection  of  the  dead  I 
am  called  in  question. 

7  And  when  he  had  so  said,  there 
arose  a  dissension  between  the  Phar- 
isees and  the  Sadducees:  and  the  mul- 
titude was  divided.

8  For  the  Sadducees  say  that  there 
is  no  resurrection,  neither  angel,  nor 
spirit:  but  the  Pharisees  confess 
both. 

9  And  there  arose  a  great  cry:  and 
the  scribes  that  were  of  the  Pharisees' 
part  arose,  and  strove,  saying,  dWe  find 
no  evil  in  this  man:  but  if  a  spirit  or 
an  angel  hath  spoken  to  him,  let  us  not 
light  against  God. 

10  And  when  there  arose  a  great 
dissension,  the  chief  captain,  fearing 
lest  Paul  shauld  have  been  pulled  in 
pieces  of  them,  commanded  the  sol- 
diers to  go  down,  and  to  take  him  by 
force  from  among  them,  and  to  bring 
him  into  the  castle. 

11  And  the  night  following  ethe 
Lord  stood  by  him,  and  said.  Be  of 
good  cheer,  Paul:  for  as  thou  hast  tes- 
tified of  me  in  Jerusalem,  so  must  thou 
bear  witness  also  at  Rome.

Kill  Paul. 


of  the  Jews  banded  together,  and 
bound  themselves  sunder  a  curse,  say- 
ing that  they  would  neither  eat  nor 
drink  till  they  had  killed  Paul. 

13  And  they  were  more  than  forty 
which  had  made  this  conspiracy. 

14  And  they  came  to  the  chief 
priests  and  elders,  and  said,  We  have 
bound  ourselves  under  a  great  curse, 
that  we  will  eat  nothing  until  we  have 
slain  Paul. 

15  Now  therefore  ye  with  the  coun- 
cil signify  to  the  chief  captain  that  ho 
bring  hira  down  unto  you  to  morrow, 
as  though  ye  would  inquire  some- 
thing more  perfectly  concerning  him: 
and  we,  or  ever  he  come  near,  are 
ready  to  kill  him. 

16  And  when  iiPaul's  sister's  son 
heard  of  their  lying  in  wait,  he  went 
and  entered  into  the  castle,  and  told 
Paul. 

17  Then  iPaul  called  one  of  the  cen- 
turions unto  him,  and  said,  Bring  this 
young  man  unto  the  chief  captain:  for 
he  hath  a  certain  thing  to  tell  him. 

18  So  he  took  him  and  brought 
him  to  the  chief  captain,  and  said,  Paul 
the  prisoner  called  me  unto  him,  and 
prayed  me  to  bring  this  young  man 
unto  thee,  who  hath  something  to  say 
unto  thee. 

19  Then  the  chief  captain  took  him 
by  the  hand,  and  went  with  him  aside 
privately,  and  asked  him.  What  is  that 

mon  sware  by  the  T^ord,  saying,  God 
do  so  to  me,  and  more  also,  if  Adoni- 
jah  have  not  spoken  this  word  against 
his  own  life.

but  the  simple  pass  on,  and  are  pun-

PSALM  xxxvii:12  JThe  wicked 
plotteth  against  the  just,  and  gnasheth 
upon  him  with  his  teeth. 

32  The  wicked  watcheth  the  right- 
eous, and  seeketh  to  slay  him. 


thou  hast  to  tell  me? 

20  And  he  said.  The  Jews  have 
agreed  to  desire  thee  that  thou  wonki- 
est bring  down  Paul  to-morrow  into 
the  council,  as  though  they  would  in- 
quire somewhat  of  him  more  perfect- 
ly. 

21  But  do  not  thou  yield  unto  them: 
for  there  Jlie  in  wait  for  him  of  them 
more  than  forty  men,  which  have 
bound  themselves  with  an  oath,  that 
they  will  neither  eat  nor  drink  till  they 
have  killed  him:  and  now  are  they 
ready,  looking  for  a  promise  from  thee. 

22  So  the  chief  captain  then  let 
the  young  man  depart,  and  charged 
him.  See  thou  tell  no  man  that  thou 
hast  shewed  these  things  to  me. 

23  And  he  called  unto  him  two  cen- 
turions, saying.  Make  ready  two  hun- 
dred soldiers  to  go  to  Caesarea,  and 
horsemen  threescore  and  ten,  and 
epearmen  two  hundred,  at  the  third 
hour  of  the  night; 

24  And  provide  them  beasts,  that 
they  may  set  Paul  on,  and  bring  him 
safe  unto  Felix  the  governor. 

25  And  he  wrote  a  letter  after  this 
manner: 

26  Claudius  Lysias  unto  the  most 
excellent  governor  Felix  sendeth  greet- 
ing. 

27  This  man  was  taken  of  the 
Jews,  and  should  have  been  killed  of 
them:  then  came  I  with  an  army,  and 

33  The  Lord  will  not  leave  him  in 
his  hand,  nor  condemn  him  when  he 
is  judged.

rescued  him,  having  understood  that 
he  was  a  Roman. 

28  And  when  I  would  have  known 
the  cause  wherefore  they  accused  him, 
I  brought  him  forth  into  their  coun- 
cil: 

29  Whom  I  perceived  to  be  accused 
of  questions  of  their  law,  but  to  have 
nothing  laid  to  his  charge  worthy  of 
death  or  of  bonds. 

30  And  when  it  was  told  me  how 
that  the  Jews  laid  wait  for  the  man, 
I  sent  straightway  to  thee,  and  gave 
commandment  to  his  accusers  also  to 
say  before  thee  what  they  had  against 
him.      Farewell. 

31  Then  the  soldiers,  as  it  was  com- 
manded them,  took  Paul,  and  brought 
him   by   night  to   Antipatris. 

32  On  the  morrow  they  left  the 
horsemen  to  go  with  him,  and  re- 
turned  to  the  castle: 

33  Who,  when  they  came  to  Caes- 
area, and  delivered  the  epistle  to  the 
governor,  presented  Paul  also  before 
him. 

34  And  when  the  governor  had  read 
the  letter,  he  asked  of  what  province 
he  was.  And  when  he  understood  that 
he  was  of  Cilicia; 

35  I  will  hear  thee,  said  he,  when 
thine  accusers  are  also  come.  And  he 
commanded  him  to  be  kept  in  Herod's 
judgment  hall. 

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

Paul  being  accused  by  Tertullus.  answered 
lor  his  life  and  doctrine.  2-1  Paul  preached 
Christ  to  the  governor  and  wife.  25  Felix 
trembled;  he  hoped  o,lso  that  Paul  would  s^ive 
him  money.  27  Going  out  of  office  Felix  left 
Paul  a  prisoner. 

1     And  after  five  days  Ananias  the

and  with  a  certain  orator  named  Ter-

tullus,   who     informed     the     governor 
against  Paul. 

2  And  when  he  was  called  forth, 
Tertullus  began  to  accuse  him,  saying. 
Seeing  athat  by  thee  we  enjoy  great 
quietness,  and  that  very  worthy  deeds 
are  done  unto  this  nation  by  thy  prov- 
idence, 

3  We  accept  it  always,  and  in  all 
places,  most  noble  Felix,  with  all 
thankfulness. 

4  Notwithstanding,  that  I  be  not 
further  tedious  unto  thee,  I  pray  thee 
that  thou  wouldest  hear  us  of  thy 
clemency  a  few  words. 

5  For  we  have  found  this  man  a 
pestilent  fellow,  and  a  mover  of  se- 
dition among  all  the  Jews  throughout 
the  world,  and  a  ringleader  of  the 
sect  of  the  Nazarenes: 

6  Who  also  hath  gone  about  to  pro- 
fane the  temple:  whom  we  took,  and 
would  have  judged  according  to  our 
law. 

7  But  the  chief  captain  Lysias  came 
upon  us,  and  with  great  violence  took 
him  away  out  of  our  hands, 

8  Commanding  his  accusers  to

whom  thyself  mayest  take  knowledge 
of  all  these  things,  whereof  we  accuse 
him. 

9  And  the  Jews  also  assented,  say- 
ing that  these  things  were  so. 

10  Then  Paul,  after  that  the  gover- 
nor had  beckoned  unto  him  to  speak, 
answered.  Forasmuch  as  I  know  that 
thou  hast  been  of  many  years  a  judge 
of  this  nation,  I  do  the  more  cheerfully 
answer  for  myself: 

11  Because  that  thou  mayest  un- 
derstand, that  there  are  yet  but  twelve

war  was  in  his  heart:  his  words  were 
softer  than  oil,  yet  were  they  drawn 
swords.

days  since  I  went  up  to  Jerusalem  fur 
tto  worship. 

12  And  they  neither  found  me  in 
the  temple  disputing  with  any  man, 
neither  raising  up  the  people,  neither 
in  the  synagogues,  nor  in  the  city: 

13  Neither  can  they  prove  the 
things  whereof  they  now  accuse  me. 

14  But  this  I  confess  unto  thee,  that 
after  cthe  way  which  they  call  heresy, 
so  worship  I  the  God  of  my  fathers,  be- 
lieving all  things  which  are  written 
in  the  law  and  in  the  prophets: 

15  And  have  hope  toward  God, 
which  they  themselves  also  allow,  that 
dthere  shall  be  a  resurrection  of 
the   dead,   both  of  the  just  and  unjust. 

16  And  herein  do  I  exercise  myself.

Lord  had  visited  the  children  of  Is-

their  afl'iction,  then  they  bowed  their 
heads  and  worshipped. 

EXODUS  xxxiv:12  Take  heed  to 
thyself,  lest  thou  make  a  covenant  with 
the  inhabitants  of  the  land  whither 
thou  goest,  lest  it  be  for  a  snare  in 
the  midst  of  thee: 

13  But  ye  shall  destroy  their  altars, 
break  their  images  and  cut  down  their 
groves: 

14  For  thou  shalt  worship  no  other 
god:  for  the  Lord,  whose  name  is 
Jealous,  is  a  jealous  God. 

PSALM  v:7  But  as  for  me  [David],

me,  while  I  stood  before  the  council,

Paul  Preached. 


I   am   called   in   question  by  you   this 
day. 

22  And  when  Felix  heard  these 
things,  having  more  perfect  knowledge 
of  that  way,  he  deferred  them,  and 
said.  When  Lysias  the  chief  captain 
shall  come  down,  I  will  know  the  ut- 
termost of  your  matter. 

23  And  he  commanded  a  centurion 
to  keep  Paul,  and  to  let  him  have  lib- 

fering,  and  their  drink  offerings. 

ISAIAH  xxvi:19  gThy  dead  men

that  dwell  in  dust:  for  thy  dew  is  as 
the  dew  of  herbs,  and  the  earth  shall 
cast  out  the  dead. 

LEVITICUS  xix:15  hYe  shall  do  no 
unrighteousness  in  judgment;  thou 
Shalt  not  respect  the  person  of  the 
poor,  nor  honour  the  person  of  the 
mighty:  but  in  righteousness  shalt 
thou  judge  thy  neighbor. 

PSALM  xlv:7  Thou  lovest  right- 
eousness, and  hatest  wickedness: 
therefore  God,  thy  God,  hath  anointed 
thee  with  tne  oil  of  gladness  above  thy 
fellows. 

ISAIAH  xi:4  But  with  righteous- 
ness shall  he  [Christ]  judge  the  poor, 
and  reprove  with  equity  for  the  meek 
of  the  earth:  and  he  shall  smite  the 
earth  with  the  rod  of  his  mouth,  and 
with  the  breath  of  his  lips  shall  he 
slay  the  wicked.

woe?  who  hath  sorrow?  who  hath  con-

redness  of  eyes?

wine;  they  that  go  to  seek  mixed 
wine. 

31  Look  not  thou  upon  the  wine 
when  it  is  red,  when  it  giveth  his  col- 
our in  the  cup,  when  it  moveth  itself 
aright.

pent, and  stingeth  like  an  adder. 

DANIEL  vii:9  jl  beheld  till  the 
thrones  were  cast  down,  and  the  An- 
cient of  days  did  sit,  whose  garment 
was  white  as  snow,  and  the  hair  of  his 
head   like  the  pure  wool:    his   throne 


erty,  and  that  he  should  forbid  none 
of  his  acquaintance  to  minister  or 
come  unto  him. 

24  And  after  certain  days,  whea 
Felix  came  with  his  wife  Drusilla, 
which  was  a  Jewess,  he  sent  for  Paul, 
and  heard  him  concerning  the  faith  in 
Christ. 

25  And  as  he  reasoned  of  hright- 
eousness,   itemperance,   and   jjudgment 

was  like  the  fiery  flame,  and  his  wheels 
as  burning  fire. 

10  A  fiery  stream  issued  and  came 
forth  from  before  him:  thousand  thou- 
sands ministered  unto  him,  and  ten 
thousand  times  ten  thousand  stood  be- 
fore him:  the  judgment  was  set,  and 
the  books  were  opened. 

21  I  beheld,  and  the  same  horn 
made  war  with  the  saints,  and  pre- 
vailed against  them; 

22  Until  the  Ancient  of  days  came, 
and  judgment  was  given  to  the  saints 
of  the  Most  High;  and  the  time  came 
that  the  saints  possessed  the  kingdom. 

23  Thus  he  said.  The  fourth  beast 
shall  be  the  fourth  kingdom  upon 
earth,  which  shall  be  diverse  from  all 
kingdoms,  and  shall  devour  the  whole 
earth,  and  shall  tread  it  down,  and 
break  it  in  pieces. 

24  And  the  ten  horns  out  of  this 
kingdom  are  ten  kings  that  shall  arise: 
and  another  shall  rise  after  them;  and 
he  shall  be  diverse  from  the  first,  and 
he  shall  subdue  three  kings. 

25  And  he  shall  speak  great  words 
against  the  Most  High,  and  shall  wear 
out  the  saints  of  the  Most  High,  and 
think  to  change  times  and  laws:  and 
they  shall  be  given  into  his  hand  un- 
til a  time  and  times  and  the  dividing 
of  time. 

26  But  the  judgment  shall  sit,  and 
they  shall  take  away  his  dominion,  to 
consume  and  to  destroy  it  unto  the 
end. 

27  And  the  kingdom  and  dominion, 
and  the  greatness  of  the  kingdom  un- 
der the  whole  heaven,  shall  be  given 
to  the  people  of  the  saints  of  the  Most 
High,  whose  kingdom  is  an  everlast- 
ing kingdom,  and  all  dominions  shall 
serve  and  obey  him.

to  come,  Felix  trembled,  and  answered. 
Go  thy  way  for  this  time;  when  I  have 
a  convenient  season,  I  will  call  for 
thee. 

2G  He  hoped  also  that  kmoney 
should  have  been  given  him  of  Paul, 
that  he  might  loose  him:  wherefore  he 
eent  for  him  the  oftener,  and  com- 
muned with  him. 

27  But  after  two  years  Porcius  Fes- 
tus  came  into  Felix'  room:  and  Fe- 
lix, iwilling  to  shew  the  Jews  a  pleas- 
ure, left  Paul  in  bonds. 

CHAPTER   XXV. 

The  Jews  accuse  Paul  before  Festus.  8  He 
aniiwert'd  for  himself.  U  Fesius  declared 
Paul's  cause  before  Kintr  A«Tii)i>a,  and  he  is 
brouk'ht  forth.  25  Fe>tus  deelared  that  Paul 
had  done  nothini;  worthy  of  death. 

1  Now  when  Festus  was  come  into 
the  province,  after  three  days  he  as- 
cended from  Cfesarea  to  Jerusalem. 

2  Then  the  high  priest  and  the 
chief  of  the  Jews  informed  him  against 
Paul,   and    besought    him, 

3  And  desired  favour  against  him, 
that  he  would  send  for  him  to  Jerusa- 
lem, laying  wait  in  the  way  to  kill 
him. 

4  But  Festus  answered,  that  Paul 
should  be  kept  at  Caesarea,  and  that  he 
himself  would   depart   shortly  thither. 

5  Let  them  therefore,  said  he,  which 
among  you  are  able,  go  down  with  me, 
and  accuse  this  man,  if  there  be  any 
wickedness  in  him. 

8  And  he  shall  judge  the  world  in 
righteousness,  he  shall  minister  judg- 
ment  to   the   people  in   uprightness. 

EXODT'S  xxiii:7  kKeep  thee  far 
from  a  false  matter;  and  the  innocent 
and  righteous  slay  thou  not:  for  I 
will   not   justify   the   wicked. 

8  And  thou  shalt  take  no  gift:  for 
the  gift  blindeth  the  wise,  and  per- 
verteth  the  words  of  the  righteous. 

EXODUS  xxiii:2  IThou  shalt  not 
follow  a  multitude  to  do  evil;  neither 
Shalt  thou  speak  in  a  cause  to  decline 
after  many  to  wrest  judgment: 

PSALM  xxvii:12  mDeliver  me  not 
over  unto  the  will  of  mine  enemies; 
for  fal.'je  witnesses  are  risen  up  against 
me,  and  such  as  breathe  out  cruelty. 


6  And  when  he  had  tarried  among 
them  more  than  ten  days,  he  went 
down  unto  Caesarea;  and  the  next  day 
sitting  on  the  judgment  seat  com- 
manded Paul  to  be  brought. 

7  And  when  he  was  come,  the  Jews 
which  came  down  from  Jerusalem 
stood  round  about,  and  miaid  many 
and  grievous  complaints  against  Paul, 
which  they  could  not  prove. 

8  While  he  answered  for  himself. 
Neither  against  the  law  of  the  Jews, 
neither  against  the  temple,  nor  yet 
against  Coesar,  have  I  offended  any 
thing  at  all. 

9  But  Festus,  nwilling  to  do  the 
Jews  a  pleasure,  answered  Paul,  and 
said.  Wilt  thou  go  up  to  Jerusalem, 
and  there  be  judged  of  these  things 
before  me? 

10  Then  said  Paul,  I  stand  at  Cae- 
sar's judgment  seat,  where  I  ought  to 
be  judged:  to  the  Jews  have  I  done 
no  wrong,  as  thou  very  well  knowest. 

11  For  if  I  be  an  offender,  or  have 
committed  any  thing  worthy  of  death, 
I  refuse  not  to  die:  but  if  there  be  none 
of  these  things  whereof  these  accuse 
me,  no  man  may  deliver  me  unto  them. 
I  appeal  unto  Caesar. 

12  Then  Festus,  when  he  had  con- 
ferred with  the  council,  answered. 
Hast  thou  appealed  unto  Caesar?  unto 
Ccesar  shalt  thou  go. 

PSALM  xxxv:ll  False  witnesses 
did  rise  up;  they  laid  to  my  charge 
things  that  I  knew  not. 

12  They  rewarded  me  evil  for  good 
to  the  spoiling  of  my  soul.

be  he  that  pervertcth  the  judgment  of

Paul's  Address 


THE  ACTS  XXVI. 


Before  Agrippa. 


13  And  after  certain  days  king 
Agrippa  and  Bernice  came  unto  Cses- 
area  to  salute  Festus. 

14  And  when  they  had  been  there 
many  days,  Festus  declared  Paul's 
cause  unto  the  king,  saying.  There  is 
a  certain  man  left  in  bonds  by  Felix: 

15  About  whom,  when  I  was  at  Je- 
rusalem, the  chief  priests  and  the  el- 
ders of  the  Jews  informed  me,  desir- 
ing to  have  judgment  against  him. 

16  To  whom  I  answered,  It  is  not 
the  manner  of  the  Romans  to  deliver 
any  man  to  die,  before  that  he  which 
is  accused  have  the  accusers  face  to 
face,  and  have  license  to  answer  for 
himself  concerning  the  crime  laid 
against  him. 

17  Therefore,  when  they  were  come 
hither,  wi|;hout  any  delay  on  the  mor- 
row I  sat  on  the  judgment  seat,  and 
commanded  the  man  to  be  brought 
forth. 

18  Against  whom  when  the  oaccus- 
ers  stood  up,  they  brought  none  accu- 
sation of  such  things  as  I  supposed: 

19  But  had  certain  questions 
against  him  of  their  own  superstition, 
and  of  one  Jesus,  which  was  dead, 
whom  Paul  affirmed  lO  be  alive. 

20  And  because  I  doubted  of  such 
manner  of  questions,  I  asked  him 
whether  he  would  go  to  Jerusalem, 
and  there  be  judged  of  these  matters. 

21  But  when  Paul  had  appealed  to 
lae  reserved  unto  the  hearing  of  Augus- 
tus, I  commanded  him  to  be  kept  till 
I  might  send  him  to  Caesar. 

22  Then  Agrippa  said  unto  Festus, 
I  would  also  hear  the  man  myself.  To 
morrow,  said  he,  thou  shalt  hear  him. 

23  And  on  the  morrow,  when 
Agrippa  was  come,  and  Bernice,  with 
pgreat  pomp,  and  was  entered  into 
the   place   of  hearing,   with   the   chief 

EZRA  iv:6  oAnd  in  the  reign  of 
Ahasuerus,  in  the  beginning  of  his 
reign,  wrote  they  [the  adversaries  of 
Judah]  unto  him  an  accusation  against 


captains,  and  principal  men  of  the 
city,  at  Festus'  commandment  Paul 
was  brought  forth. 

24  And  Festus  said.  King  Agrippa, 
and  all  men  which  are  here  present 
with  us,  ye  see  this  man,  about  whom 
all  the  multitude  of  the  Jews  have 
dealt  with  me,  both  at  Jerusalem,  and 
also  here,  crying  that  he  ought  not  to 
live  any  longer. 

25  But  when  I  found  that  he  had 
committed  nothing  worthy  of  death, 
and  that  he  himself  hath  appealed  to 
Augustus,  I  have  determined  to  send 
him. 

26  Of  whom  I  have  no  certain 
thing  to  write  unto  my  lord.  Where- 
fore I  have  brought  him  forth  before 
you,  and  specially  before  thee,  0  king 
Agrippa,  that,  after  examination  had,  I 
might  have  somewhat  to  write. 

27  For  it  seemeth  to  me  unreason- 
able to  send  a  prisoner,  and  not  with- 
al to  signify  the  crimes  laid  against 
him. 

CHAPTER    XXVI. 

Paul  before  Agrrippa,  declares  his  manner  of 
life.  12  He  relates  his  conversion.  24  Festus 
charged  him  with  madness.  28  Agrippa  is  al- 
most persuaded  to  be  a  Christian.  31  The  whole 
company  pronounce  Paul  innocent. 

1  Then  Agrippa  said  unto  Paul, 
Thou  art  permitted  to  speak  for  thy- 
self. Then  Paul  stretched  forth  the 
hand,  and  answered  for  himself: 

2  I  think  myself  happy,  king 
Agrippa,  because  I  shall  answer  for 
myself  this  day  before  thee  touching 
all  the  things  whereof  1  am  accused 
of  the  Jews: 

3  Especially  because  I  know  thee 
to  be  expert  in  all  customs  and  ques- 
tions which  are  among  the  Jews: 
wherefore  I  beseech  thee  to  hear  me 
patiently.

which    was    at   the   first    among    mine

Prophet  [Jesus]  from  the  midst  of 
thee,  of  thy  brethren,  like  unto  me; 
unto   him   ye   shall    hearken: 

II.  SAMUEL  vii:12  And  when  thy 
[David's]  days  be  fulfilled,  and  thou 
shalt  sleep  with  thy  fathers,  I  will  set 
up  thy  se^d  after  thee,  which  shall 
proceed  out  of  thy  bowels,  and  I  will 
establish  his  kingdom. 

13  He  shall  build  a  house  for  my 
name,  and  I  will  stablish  the  throne 
of  his  kingdom  for  ever  [in  Jesus]. 

PSALM  cxxxii:ll  The  Lord  hath 
sworn  in  truth  unto  David;  he  will 
not  turn  from  it;  of  the  fruit  of  thy 
body  [Christ]  will  I  set  upon  thy 
throne. 

ISAIAH  iv:2  In  that  day  shall 
[Jesus]  the  branch  of  the  Lord  be 
beautiful  and  glorious,  and  the  fruit 
of  the  earth  shall  be  excellent  and 
comely  for  them  that  are  escaped  of 
Israel. 

ISAIAH  vii:14  Therefore  the  Lord 
himself  shall  give  you  a  sign;  Behold, 
a  virgin  shall  conceive,  and  bear  a 
son  [Jesus],  and  shall  call  his  name 
Immanuel. 


for    the    hope  of  the  promise  made  of 
God  unto  our  fathers: 

7  Unto  which  promise  our  twelve 
tribes,  instantly  serving  God  day  and 
night,  hope  to  come.  For  which 
hope's  sake,  king  Agrippa,  I  am  ac- 
cused of  the  Jews. 

ISAIAH  ix:6  For  unto  us  a  child 
[Jesus]  is  born,  unto  us  a  son  is  giv- 
en: and  the  government  shall  be  up- 
on his  shoulder:  and  his  name  shall 
be  called  Wonderful,  Counsellor,  The 
mighty  God,  The  everlasting  Father, 
The  Prince  of  Peace. 

7  Of  the  increase  of  his  govern- 
ment and  peace  there  shall  be  no  end, 
upon  the  throne  of  David,  and  upon 
his  kingdom,  to  order  it,  and  to  estab- 
ish  it  with  judgment  and  with  justice 
from  henceforth  even  for  ever.  The 
zeal  of  the  Lord  of  hosts  will  perform 
this. 

ISAIAH  xl:10  Behold,  the  Lord 
God  [the  Christ]  will  come  with 
strong  hand,  and  his  arm  shall  rule 
for  him:  behold,  his  reward  is  with 
him,  and  his  work  before  him. 

11  He  shall  feed  his  flock  like  a 
shepherd:  he  shall  gather  the  lambs 
with  his  arm,  and  carry  them  in  his 
bosom,  and  shall  gently  lead  those 
that  are  with  young. 

JEREMIAH  xxiii:5  Behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
raise  unto  David  a  righteous  Branch, 
and  a  King  [Jesus]  shall  reign  and 
prosper,  and  shall  execute  judgment 
and  justice  in  the  earth. 

6  In  his  days  Judah  shall  be  saved, 
and  Israel  shall  dwell  safely:  and  this 
is  his  name  whereby  he  shall  be 
called,  THE  LORD  OUR  RIGHT- 
EOUSNESS. 

JEREMIAH  xxxiii:14  Behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
perform  that  good  thing  which  I  have 
promised  unto  the  house  of  Israel  and 
to  the  house  of  Judah. 

15  In  those  days,  and  at  that  time, 
will  I  cause  the  Branch  of  righteous- 
ness to  grow  up  unto  David  [the 
Christ];  and  he  shall  execute  judg- 
ment and  righteousness  in  the  land. 

16  In  those  days  shall  Judah  be 
saved,  and  Jerusalem  shall  dwell  safe- 
ly: and  this  is  the  name  wherewith 
she  shall  be  called.  The  Lord  our 
Righteousness.

Experience  to  Agrippa. 


8  Why  should  it  be  thought  a  thing 
incredible  with  you,  that  bGod  should 
raise  the  dead? 

9  I  verily  thought  with  myself, 
that  I  ought  to  do  many  things  con- 
trary to  the  name  of  Jesus  of  Naza- 
reth. 

10  Which  thing  I  also  did  in  Jeru- 
salem: and  many  of  the  saints  did  1 
shut  up  in  prison,  having  received 
authority  from  the  chief  priests;  and 
when  they  were  put  to  death,  I  gave 
my  voice  against  them. 

11  And  I  punished  them  oft  in  ev- 
ery synagogue,  and  compelled  them  to 
blaspheme:       and      being    exceedingly 

17  For  thus  saith  the  Lord;  David 
shall  never  want  a  man  to  sit  upon 
the  throne  of  the  house  of  Israel; 

18  Neither  shall  the  priests  the  Le- 
vites  want  a  man  before  me  to  offer 
burnt  offerings,  and  to  kindle  meat 
offerings,  and  to  do  sacrifice  contin- 
ually. 

EZEKIEL  xxxiv:23  And  I  will 
set  up  one  Shepherd  [Christ]  over 
them,  and  he  shall  feed  them,  even  my 
servant  David;  he  shall  feed  them, 
and  he  shall  be  their  shepherd. 

24  And  I  the  Lord  will  be  their 
God,  and  my  servant  [the  descendant 
of]  David  a  prince  among  them;  I  the 
Lord  have  spoken  it. 

EZEKIEL  xxxvii:24  [The  son  of] 
David  my  servant  shall  be  king  over 
them;  and  they  all  shall  have  one 
shepherd  [Jesus]:  they  shall  also 
walk  in  my  judgments,  and  observe 
my  statutes,  and  do  them. 

DANIEL  ix:24  Seventy  weeks  are 
determined  unto  thy  people  [Judah] 
and  upon  thy  holy  city  [Jerusalem], 
to  finish  the  transgression,  and  to 
make  an  end  of  sins,  and  to  make  re- 
conciliation for  iniquity,  and  to  bring 
in  everlasting  righteousness,  and  to 
seal  up  the  vision  and  prophecy,  and 
to  anoint  the  Most  Holy  [Jesus]. 

2B  Know  therefore  and  understand, 
that  from  the  going  forth  of  the  com- 
mandment to  restore  and  to  build 
Jerusalem,  unto  the  Messiah  the 
Prince,  shall  be  seven  weeks,  and 
threescore  and  two  weeks:  the  street 
shall  be  built  again,  and  the  wall,  ev-

mad  against  them,  I  persecuted  them 
even  unto  strange  cities. 

12  Whereupon  as  I  went  to  Damas- 
cus with  authority  and  commission 
from  the  chief  priests, 

13  At  midday,  O  king,  I  saw  in  the 
way  a  light  from  heaven,  above  the 
brightness  of  the  sun,  shining  round 
about  me  and  them  which  journeyed 
with  me. 

14  And  when  we  were  all  fallen  to 
the  earth,  I  heard  a  voice  speaking 
unto  me,  and  saying  in  the  Hebrew 
tongue,  Saul,  Saul,  why  persecutest 
thou  me?  it  is  hard  for  thee  to  kick 
against  the  pricks. 

26  And  after  threescore  and  two 
weeks  shall  Messiah  be  cut  off,  but 
not  for  himself:  and  the  people  [Ro- 
man army]  of  the  prince  [Tutus]  that 
shall  come  shall  destroy  the  city  and 
the  sanctuary;  and  the  end  thereof 
shall  be  with  a  flood,  and  unto  the 
end  of  the  war  desolations  are  deter- 
mined. 

MIC  AH  vii:20  [The  Lord]  will

15  Thou  Shalt  call,  and  I  [Job] 
will  answer  thee:  thou  wilt  have  a  de- 
sire to  the  work  of  thine  hands. 

JOB  xix:25  For  I  [Job]  know  that 
my  Redeemer  liveth,  and  that  he  shall 
stand  at  the  latter  day  upon  the  earth:

destroy  this  body,  yet  in  my  flesh

bs'  Jesus. 


15  And  I  suiu.  Who  art  thou,  Lord? 
And  he  said,  1  am  Jesus  whom  tnou 
persecutedst. 

16  But  irise,  and  stand  upon  thy 
feet:  for  I  have  appeared  unto  thee 
for  this  purpose,  to  make  thee  a  min- 
ister and  a  witness  both  of  these 
things  which  thou  hast  seen,  and  of 
those  things  in  the  which  I  will  ap- 
pear unto  thee: 

17  Delivering  thee  from  the  people, 
and  from  Jthe  Gentiles,  unto  whom 
now  I  send  thee. 

18  To  eopen  their  eyes,  and  to  turn 
them  from  darkness  to  light,  and  from 
the  power  of  Satan  unto  God,  that 
they  may  receive  forgiveness  of  sins, 
and  inheritance  among  them  which 
are  sanctified  by  faith  that  is  in  me. 

19  Whereupon,  0  king  Agrippa,  I 
was  not  disobedient  unto  the  heaven- 
ly vision: 

and  some  to  shame  and  everlasting 
contempt. 

ISAIAH  LX:1  eArise,  shine;  for 
thy  light  is  come,  and  the  glory  of  the 
Lord  is  risen  upon  thee. 

2  For,  behold,  the  darkness  shall 
cover  the  earth,  and  gross  darkness 
the  people:  but  the  Lord  shall  arise 
upon  thee,  and  his  glory  shall  be  seen 
upon  thee. 

DANIEL  x:10  And,  behold,  a  hand 
touched  me  [Daniel],  which  set  me 
upon  my  knees  and  upon  the  palms 
of  my  hands. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  0  Daniel, 
a  man  greatly  beloved,  understand 
the  words  that  I  speak  unto  thee,  and 
stand  upright:  for  unto  thee  am  I 
now  sent.  And  when  he  had  spoken 
this  word  unto  me,  I  stood  trembling. 

ISAIAH  lx:3  dAnd  the  Gentiles 
shall  come  to  thy  [Christ's]  light,  and 
kings  to  the  brightness  of  thy  rising. 

JEREMIAH  xvi:19  O  Lord,  my 
strength,  and  my  fortress,  and  my  re- 
fuge in  the  day  of  affliction,  the  Gen- 
tiles shall  come  unto  thee  [Christ] 
from  the  ends  of  the  earth,  and  shall 
say.  Surely  our  fathers  have  inherited 
lies,  vanity,  and  things  wherein  there 
is  no  profit. 

ISAIAH     xxxv:5         e[When    Christ 


20  But  shewed  first  unto  them  of 
Damascus,  and  at  Jerusalem,  and 
throughout  all  the  coasts  of  Judaea, 
and  then  to  the  Gentiles,  that  they 
should  repent  and  turn  to  God,  and 
do  works  meet  for  repentance. 

21  For  these  causes  the  Jews 
caught  me  in  the  temple,  and  went 
about  to  kill  me. 

22  Having  therefore  obtained  help 
of  God,  I  continue  unto  this  day,  wit- 
nessing both  to  small  and  great,  say- 
ing none  other  things  than  those 
which  the  prophets  and  Moses  did  say 
should  come: 

23  That  fChrist  should  suffer,  and 
that  he  should  be  the  first  that  should 
rise  from  the  dead,  and  should  shew 
light  unto  the  people,  and  to  the  Gen- 
tiles. 

24  And  as  he  thus  spake  for  him- 
self,    Festus     said  with  a  loud  voice, 

comes]  the  eyes  of  the  blind  shall  be 
opened,  and  the  ears  of  the  deaf  shall 
be  unstopped. 

ISAIAH  xlii:6  I  the  Lord  have 
called  thee  [Jesus]  In  righteousness, 
and  will  hold  thine  hand,  and  will 
keep  thee,  and  give  thee  for  a  cove- 
nant of  the  people,  for  a  light  of  the 
Gentiles; 

7  To  open  the  blind  eyes,  to  bring 
out  the  prisoners  from  the  prison,  and 
them  that  sit  in  darkness  out  of  the 
prison  house. 

PSALM  xxii:6  fBut  I  [Jesus]  am 
a  worm,  and  no  man;  a  reproach  of 
men,  and  despised  of  the  people. 

ISAIAH  liii:4  Surely  he  [Christ] 
hath  borne  our  griefs,  and  carried  our 
sorrows:  yet  we  did  esteem  him 
stricken,  smitten  of  God,  and  afflicted. 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was 
afflicted,  yet  he  opened  not  his  mouth: 
he  is  brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaugh- 
ter, and  as  a  sheep  before  her  shear- 
ers is  dumb,  so  he  openeth  not  his 
mouth. 

8  He  was  taken  from  prison  and 
from  judgment:  and  who  shall  declare 
his  generation?  for  he  was  cut  off  out 
of  the  land  of  the  living:  for  the 
transgression  of  my  people  was  he 
stricken.

Agrippa   Almost  Persuaded 


THE  ACTS  XXVI. 


to  be  a  Christian.. 


Paul,   gthou  art  beside  thyself;    much 
learning  doth  make  thee  mad. 

'25  But  he  said,  I  am  not  mad, 
most  noble  Festus;  but  speak  forth 
the  words  of  truth  and   soberness. 

26  For  the  king  knoweth  of  these 
things,  before  whom  also  I  speak  free- 
ly: for  I  am  persuaded  that  none  of 
these  things  are  hidden  from  him;  for 
this  thing  was  not  done  in  a  corner. 

27  King  Agrippa,  believest  thou 
the  prophets?  I  know  that  thou  be- 
lievest. 

28  Then  Agrippa  said  unto  Paul, 
Almost  thou  persuadest  me  to  be  a 
Christian. 

29  And  Paul  said,  I  would  to  God, 
that  not  only  thou,  but  also  all  that 
hear  me  this  day,  were  both  almost, 
and  altogether  such  as  I  am  except 
these  bonds. 

30  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
the  king  rose  up,  and  the  governor, 
and  Bernice,  and  they  that  sat  with 
them: 

31  And  when  they  were  gone  aside, 
they  talked  between  themselves,  say- 
ing, This  man  doeth  nothing  worthy 
of  death  or  of  bonds. 

32  Then  said  Agrippa  unto  Festus, 
This  man  might  have  been  set  at  lib- 
erty, if  he  had  not  appealed  unto 
Csesar.

A  tempestuous  wind  at  sea.  41  The  ship  was 
wrecked,  but  all  the  people  were  saved.

we  should  sail  into  Italy,  they  deliv-

II.  KINGS  ix:ll  gThen  Jehu  came 
forth  to  the  servants  of  his  lord 
[Ahab];  and  one  said  unto  him,  Is  all

low [son  of  a  prophet]  to  thee? 
[Jehu].  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye 
know  the  man,  and  his  communica-

us  now,  And  he  said,  Thus  and  thus 


unto  one  named  Julius,  a  centurion  of 
Augustus'  band. 

2  And  entering  into  a  ship  of  Ad- 
ramyttium,  we  launched,  meaning  to 
sail  by  the  coasts  of  Asia;  one  Aristar- 
chus,  a  Macedonian  of  Thessalonica, 
being  with  us. 

3  And  the  next  day  we  touched  at 
Sidon.  And  Julius  courteously  en- 
treated Paul,  and  gave  him  liberty  to 
go  unto  his  friends  to  refresh  himself. 

4  And  when  we  had  launched  from 
thence,  we  sailed  under  Cyprus,  be- 
cause the  winds  were  contrary. 

5  And  when  we  had  sailed  over  the 
sea  of  Cilicia  and  Pamphylia,  we  came 
to  Myra,  a  city  of  Lycia. 

6  And  there  the  centurion  found  a 
ship  of  Alexandria  sailing  into  Italy; 
and  he  put  us  therein. 

7  And  when  we  had  sailed  slowly 
many  days,  and  scarce  were  come  over 
against  Cnidus,  the  wind  not  suffering 
us,  we  sailed  under  Crete,  over  against 
Salmone; 

8  And,  hardly  passing  it,  came  unto 
a  place  which  is  called  the  Fair  Hav- 
ens; nigh  whereunto  was  the  city  of 
Laaea. 

9  Now  when  much  time  was  spent, 
and  when  sailing  was  now  dangerous, 
hbecause  the  fast  was  now  already 
past,  Paul  admonished  them, 

10  And  said  unto  them.  Sirs,  I  per- 
ceive that  this  voyage  will  be  with 
hurt  and  much  damage,  not  only  of 
the  lading  and  ship,  but  also  of  our 
lives.

ship,  more  than  those  things  which 
were  spoKen  by  Paul. 

12  And  oecause  the  haven  was  not 
commodious  to  winter  in,  the  more 
part  advised  to  depart  thence  also, 
if  by  any  means  they  might  attain  to 
Phenice,  and  there  to  winter;  which 
is  a  haven  of  Crete,  and  lieth  toward 
the  southwest  and  northwest. 

13  And  when  the  south  wind  blew 
softly,  supposing  that  they  had  ob- 
tained their  purpose,  loosing  thence, 
they  sailed  close  by  Crete. 

14  But  not  long  after  there  arose 
against  it  a  Jtempestuous  wind,  called 
Euroclydon. 

15  And  when  the  ship  was  caught, 
and  could  not  bear  up  into  the  wind, 
we  let  her  drive. 

16  And  running  under  a  certain 
island  which  is  called  Clauda,  we  had 
much  work  to  come  by  the  boat: 

17  And  when  they  had  taken  up. 
they  used  helps,  undergirding  the 
ship;  and,  fearing  lest  they  should  fall 

not  believe  me,  nor  hearken  unto  my 
voice:  for  they  will  say.  The  Lord  hath 
not  appeared  unto  thee. 

PSALM  cvii:23  JThey  that  go 
down  to  the  sea  in  ships,  that  do  bus- 
iness in  great  waters; 

24  These  see  the  works  of  the  Lord, 
and  his  wonders  in  the  deep. 

25  For  he  comniandeth,  and  raiseth 
the  stormy  wind,  which  lifteth  up  the 
waves  thereof. 

26  They  mount  up  to  the  heaven, 
they  go  down  again  to  the  depths: 
their  soul  is  melted  because  of 
trouble. 

27  They  reel  to  and  fro,  and  stag- 
ger like  a  drunken  man,  and  are  at 
their  wit's  end. 

28  Then  they  cry  unto  the  Lord  in 
their  trouble,  and  he  bringeth  them 
out  of  their  distresses. 

JONAH  1:4  But  the  Tvord  sent  out 
a  great  wind  into  the  sea,  and  there 
was  a  mighty  tempest  in  the  sea,  so 
that  the  ship  was  like  to  be  broken. 

JONAH  1:5  kThen  the  mariners 
were  afraid,  and  cried  ever>'  man  unto 
his  god,  and  cast  forth  the  wares  that 


into  the  quicksands,  strake  sail,  and 
so  were  driven. 

18  And  we  being  exceedingly  tossed 
with  a  tempest,  the  next  day  they 
lightened  the  ship; 

19  And  the  third  day  we  kcast  out 
with  our  own  hands  the  tackling  of 
the  ship. 

20  And  when  neither  sun  nor  stara 
in  many  days  appeared,  and  no  small 
tempest  lay  on  us,  all  hope  that  we 
should  be  saved  was  then  taken  away. 

21  But  after  long  abstinence,  Paul 
stood  forth  in  the  midst  of  them,  and 
said,  Sirs,  lye  should  have  hearkened 
unto  me,  and  not  have  loosed  from 
Crete,  and  to  have  gained  this  harm 
and  loss. 

22  And  now  I  exhort  you  to  be  of 
good  cheer:  for  there  shall  be  no  loss 
of  any  man's  life  among  you,  but  of 
the  ship. 

23  For  there  stood  by  me  this  night 
the  angel  of  God,  whose  I  am,  and

down  into  the  sides  of  the  ship;  and 
he  lay,  and  was  fast  asleep. 

EXODUS  x:4  lElse,  if  thou  refuse 
to  let  my  people  go,  behold,  to  morrow 
will  I  bring  the  locusts  into  thy 
coast: 

5  And  they  shall  cover  the  face  of 
the  earth,  that  one  cannot  be  able  to 
see  the  earth:  and  they  shall  eat  the 
residue  of  that  which  is  escaped, 
which  remaineth  unto  you  from  the 
hail,  and  shall  eat  every  tree  which 
groweth  for  you  out  of  the  field: 

6  And  they  shall  fill  thy  houses, 
and  the  houses  of  all  thy  servants,  and 
the  houses  of  all  the  Egyptians; 
which  neither  thy  fathers,  nor  thy 
fathers'  fathers  have  seen,  since  the 
day  that  they  were  upon  the  earth  un-

and  went  out  from  Pharaoh. 

7  And  Pharaoh's  servants  said  unto 
him.  How  long  shall  this  man  be  a 
snare  unto  us?  let  the  men  go,  that 
they  may  serve  the  Lord  their  God: 
knowest  thou  not  yet  that  Egypt  is 
destroyed?

24  Saying,  JFear  not,  Paul;  thou 
must  be  brought  before  Csesar:  and, 
lo,  God  hath  given  kthee  all  them  that 
sail  with  thee. 

25  Wherefore,  sirs,  be  of  good 
cheer:  for  U  believe  God,  that  it  shall 
be  even  as  it  was  told  me. 

26  Howbeit  we  must  be  cast  upon  a 
certain  island. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth  night 
was  come,  as  we  were  driven  up  and 
down  in  Adria,  about  midnight  the 
shipmen  deemed  that  they  drew  near 
to  some  country: 

28  And  sounded,  and  found  it  twen- 
ty fathoms:  and  when  they  had  gone 
a  little  further,  they  sounded  again, 
and  found  it  fifteen  fathoms. 

29  Then  fearing  lest  we  should 
have  fallen  upon  rocks,  they  cast  four 
anchors  out  of  the  stern,  and  wished 
for  the  day. 

30  And  as  the  shipmen  were  about 

ISAIAH  xli:10  jFear  thou  not; 
for  I  am  with  thee:  be  not  dismayed; 
for  I  am  thy  God:  I  will  strengthen 
thee;  yea,  I  will  help  thee;  yea,  I  will 
uphold  thee  with  the  right  hand  of  my 
righteousness. 

14  Fear  not,  thou  worm  Jacob,  and 
ye  men  of  Israel;  I  will  help  thee,  saith 
the  Lord,  and  thy  Redeemer,  the  Holy 
One  of  Israel. 

ISAIAH  xliii:2  When  thou  passest 
through  the  waters,  I  will  be  with 
thee;  and  through  the  rivers,  they 
shall  not  overflow  thee:  when  thou 
walkest  through  the  fire,  thou  shalt 
not  be  burned:  neither  shall  the  flame 
kindle  upon  thee. 

GENESIS  xxxix:5  kAnd  it  came  to 
pass  from  the  time  that  he  [Potiphar] 
had  made  him  [Joseph]  overseer  In 
his  house,  and  over  all  that  he  had, 
that  the  Lord  blessed  the  Egyptian's 
house  for  Joseph's  sake;  and  the  bless- 
ing of  the  Lord  was  upon  all  that  he 
had  in  the  house,  and  in  the  field. 

23  The  keeper  of  the  prison  looked 
not  to  any  thing  that  was  under  his 
hand;  because  the  Lord  was  with  him. 
and  that  which  he  did  the  Lord  made 
it  to  prosper. 

JOB    xlii:8      Therefore    take    unto 


to  flee  out  of  the  ship,  when  they  had 
let  down  the  boat  into  the  sea,  under 
colour  as  though  they  would  have  cast 
anchors  out  of  the  foreship, 

31  Paul  said  to  the  centurion  and 
to  the  soldiers.  Except  these  abide  in 
the  ship,  ye  cannot  be  saved. 

32  Then  the  soldiers  cut  off  the 
ropes  of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall  off. 

33  And  while  the  day  was  coming 
on,  Paul  besought  them  all  to  take 
meat,  saying.  This  day  is  the  four- 
teenth day  that  we  have  tarried  and 
continued  fasting,  having  taken  noth- 
ing. 

34  Wherefore  I  pray  you  to  take 
some  meat;  for  this  is  for  your  health: 
for  mthere  shall  not  a  hair  fall  from 
the  head  of  any  of  you. 

35  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  took  bread,  and  ngave  thanks  to 
God  in  presence  of  them  all;  and  when 
he  had  broken  it,  he  began  to  eat. 

you  [Eliphaz,  Bildad  and  Zophar]  now 
seven  bullocks  and  seven  rams,  and 
go  to  my  servant  Job,  and  offer  up  for 
yourselves  a  burnt  offering;  and  my 
servant  Job  shall  pray  for  you:  for 
him  will  I  accept:  lest  I  deal  with  you 
after  your  folly,  in  that  ye  have  not 
spoken  of  me  the  thing  which  is  right, 
like  my  servant  Job. 

EXODUS  xiv:31  lAnd  Israel  saw 
that  great  work  which  the  Lord  did 
upon  the  Egyptians:  and  the  people 
feared  the  Lord,  and  believed  the 
Lord,  and  his  servant  Moses. 

NUMBERS  xxiii:19  God  is  not  a 
man,  that  he  should  lie;  neither  the 
son  of  man,  that  he  should  repent: 
hath  he  said,  and  shall  he  not  do  it? 
or  hath  he  spoken,  and  shall  he  not 
make  it  good? 

I.  KINGS  i:52  mAnd  Solomon  said. 
If  he  [Adonijah]  will  shew  himself  a 
worthy  man,  there  shall  not  a  hair  of 
him  fall  to  the  earth:  but  if  wicked- 
ness shall  be  found  in  him,  he  shall 
die. 

53  So  king  Solomon  sent,  and  they 
brought  him  down  from  the  altar. 
And  he  came  and  bowed  himself  to 
king  Solomon:  and  Solomon  said  unto 
him.  Go  to  thine  house.

36  Then  were  they  all  of  good 
cheer,  and  they  also  took  some  meat. 

37  And  we  were  in  all  in  the  ship 
two  hundred  threescore  and  sixteen 
souls. 

38  And  when  they  had  eaten 
enough,  they  lightened  the  ship,  and 
cast  out  the  wheat  into  the  sea. 

39  And  when  it  was  day,  they  knew 
not  the  land:  but  they  discovered  a 
certain  creek  with  a  shore,  into  the 
which  they  were  minded,  if  it  were 
possible  to  thrust  in  the  ship. 

40  And  when  they  had  taken  up  the 
anchors,  they  committed  themselves 
unto  the  sea,  and  loosed  the  rudder 
bands,  and  iioised  up  the  mainsail  to 
the  wind,  and  made  toward  shore. 

41  And  falling  into  a  place  where 
two  seas  met,  they  ran  the  ship 
aground;  and  the  forepart  stuck  fast, 
and  remained  unmovable,  but  the  hin- 
der part  was  broken  with  the  violence 
of  the  waves. 

42  And  the  soldiers'  counsel  owas 
to  kill  the  prisoners,  lest  any  of  them 
should  swim  out,  and  escape. 

43  But  the  centurion,  pwilling  to 
save  Paul,  kept  theia  from  their  pur- 
pose; and  commanded  that  they  which 
cculd  swim  should  cast  themselves 
first  into  the  sea,  and  get  to  land:

CHAPTER  XXVIIL 

Paul  was  kindly  enlertiiined  by  the  barba- 
rians. A  viper  on  his  hand  did  him  no  harm. 
i^  He  healed  many  in  the  island.  )1  They  de- 
Iiart  towards  Home.  17  He  Inlormed  the  Jews 
of  the  cause  of  his  coming.  2:i  Ht;  preached  to 
many  and  some  h<li«ved.  :iO  I'aul  remained  in 
Homo  two  years  in  his  hired  house. 

1  And  when  they  were  escaped, 
then  they  knew  that  the  island  was 
called  Melita. 

2  And  the  barbarous  people  shewed 
us  no  little  kindness:  for  they  kindled 
a  fire,  and  received  us  every  one,  be- 
cause of  the  present  rain,  and  because 
of  the  cold. 

3  And  when  Paul  had  gathered  a 
bundle  of  sticks,  and  laid  them  on  the 
fire,  there  came  a  viper  out  of  the 
heat,  and  fastened  on  his  hand. 

4  And  when  the  barbarians  saw  the 
venomous  beast  hang  on  his  hand, 
they  said  among  themselves.  No  doubt 
this  man  is  a  murderer,  whom,  though 
he  hath  escaped  the  sea,  yet  vengeance 
suffereth  not  to  live. 

5  And  he  shook  off  the  beast  into 
the  fire,  and  afelt  no  harm. 

6  Howbeit  they  looked  when  he 
should  have  swollen,  or  fallen  down 
dead  suddenly:  but  after  they  had 
looked  a  great  while,  and  saw  no  harm 
come  to  him,  they  changed  their 
minds,  and  said  that  he  was  ba  god. 

7  In     the  same  quarters  were  pos- 

his  enemies  to  be  at  peace  with  him.

Paul  at  Rome  Called

to  him  the  Jews, 


sessions  of  the  chief  man  of  the  island, 
■whose  name  was  Publius;  who  re- 
ceived us,  and  lodged  us  three  days 
courteously. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the  fa- 
ther of  Publius  lay  sick  of  a  fever  and 
of  a  bloody  flux:  to  whom  Paul  en- 
tered in,  and  prayed,  and  laid  his 
hands  on  him,  and  chealed  him. 

9  So  when  this  was  done,  others  al- 
so, which  had  diseases  in  the  island, 
came,  and  were  healed: 

10  Who  also  honoured  us  with 
many  honours;  and  when  we  departed, 
dthey  laded  us  with  such  things  as 
were  necessary. 

11  And  after  three  months  we  de- 
parted in  a  ship  of  Alexandria,  which 
had  wintered  in  the  Isle,  whose  sign 
was  Castor  and  Pollux. 

12  And  landing  at  Syracuse,  we 
tarried  there  three  days. 

13  And  from  thence  we  fetched  a 
compass,  and  came  to  Rhegium:  and 
after  one  day  the  south  wind  blew, 
and  we  came  the  next  day  to  Puteoli: 

14  Where  we  found  brethren,  and 
were  desired  to  tarry  with  them  seven 
days:  and  so  we  went  toward  Rome. 

15  And  from  thence,  when  the 
brethren  heard  of  us,  they  came  to 
meet  us  as  far  as  Appii  Forum,  and  the 
Three  Taverns;  whom  when  Paul  saw, 
ehe  thanked  God,  and  took  courage. 

16  And  when  we  came  to  Rome,  the 
centurion     delivered    the    prisoners  to

struction; who  crowneth  thee  with 
lovingkindness  and  tender  mercies;

good  things;  so  that  thy  youth  is  re- 
newed like  the  eagle's.

the  captain  of  the  guard:  but  Paul  was 
suffered  to  dwell  by  himself  with  a  sol- 
dier that  kept  him. 

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
three  days  Paul  called  the  chief  of  the 
Jews  together:  and  when  they  were 
come  together,  he  said  unto  them.  Men 
and  brethren,  though  I  have  committed 
nothing  against  the  people,  or  customs 
of  our  fathers,  yet  was  I  delivered  pris- 
oner from  Jerusalem  into  the  hands  of 
the  Romans: 

IS  Who,  when  they  had  examined 
me,  would  have  let  me  go,  because 
there  was  no  cause  of  death  in  me. 

19  But  when  the  Jews  spake  against 
it,  I  was  constrained  to  appeal  unto 
Cnssar;  not  that  I  had  aught  to  accuse 
my  nation  of. 

20  For  this  cause  therefore  have  I 
called  for  you,  to  see  you,  and  to  speak 
with  you:  because  that  for  fthe  hope 
of  Israel  I  am  bound  with  this  chain. 

21  And  they  said  unto  him.  We 
neither  received  letters  out  of  Judgea 
concerning  thee,  neither  any  of  the 
brethren  that  came  shewed  or  spake 
any  harm  of  thee. 

22  But  we  desire  to  hear  of  thee 
what  thou  thinkest:  for  as  concerning 
this  sect,  we  know  that  every  where  it 
is  spoken  against. 

23  And  when  they  had  appointed 
him  a  day,  there  came  many  to  him  in- 
to his  lodging;  to  whom  he  expounded 

13  I  will  take  the  cup  of  salvation, 
and  call  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord. 

14  I  will  pay  my  vows  unto  the 
Lord  now  in  the  presence  of  all  his 
people. 

PSALM  cxxx:7  fLet  Israel  hope  in 
the  Lord:  for  with  the  Lord  there  is

demption.

all  his  iniquities.

which  were  spoken,  and  some  believed 
not. 

25  And  when  they  agreed  not 
among  themselves,  they  departed,  af- 
ter that  Paul  had  spoken  one  word. 
Well  spake  the  Holy  Ghost  by  Isaiah 
the  prophet  unto  our  fathers, 

26  Saying,  iGo  unto  this  people,  and 
say,  Hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and  shall 
not  understand;  and  seeing  ye  shall 
see,  and  not  perceive: 

27  For  jthe  heart  of  this  people  is 
"waxed  gross,  and  their  ears  are  dull  of

all  that  I  shall  command  him. 

PSALM  cxviii:22  iiThe  stone 
[Christ]  which  the  builders  refused  is 
become  the  head  stone  of  the  corner. 

23  This  is  the  Lord's  doing;  it  is 
marvellous  in  our  eyes. 

ISAIAH  vii:14  Therefore  the  Lord 
himself  shall  give  you  a  sign;  Behold, 
a  virgin  shall  conceive,  and  bear  a 
son,  and  shall  call  his  name  Imman- 
uel. 

ISAIAH   liii:ll  [Jesus]   shall   see

righteous  servant  justify  many;  for 
he  shall  bear  their  iniquities. 

DANIEL  ix:25  Know  therefore 
and  understand,  that  from  the  going 
forth  of  the  commandment  to  restore

tivity in  Babylon],  unto  the  Messiah 
the  Prince,  shall  be  seven  weeks,  and

shall  be  built  again,  and  the  wall,  ev-

eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears,  and  un- 
derstand with  their  heart,  and  should 
be  converted,  and  I  should  heal  them. 

28  Be  it  known  therefore  unto  you, 
that  the  salvation  of  God  is  sent  unto 
the  Gentiles,  and  that  they  will  hear 
it. 

29  And  when  he  had  said  these 
words,  the  Jews  departed,  and  had 
great  reasoning  among  themselves. 

30  And  Paul  dwelt  two  whole  years 
in  his  own  hired  house,  and  received 
all  that  came  in  unto  him, 

31  Preaching  the  kingdom  of  God, 
and  teaching  those  things  which  con- 
cern the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  with  all 
confidence,  no  man  forbidding  him. 

ISAIAH  vi:9  iAnd  he  said.  Go  [to 
Isaiah],  and  tell  this  people,  Hear  ye 
indeed,  but  understand  not;  and  see 
ye  indeed,  but  perceive  not. 

10  Make  the  heart  of  this  people 
fat.  and  make  their  ears  heavy,  and 
shut  their  eyes;  lest  they  see  with 
their  eyes,  and  hear  with  their  ears, 
and  understand  with  their  heart,  and 
convert,  and  be  healed.

out understanding;  which  have  eyes,

4  Thy  seed  [Jesus]  will  I  establish 
for  ever,  and  build  up  thy  throne  to  all 
generations. 

35  Once  have  I  sworn  by  my  holi- 
ness that  I  will  not  lie  unto  David. 

36  His  seed  shall  endure  for  ever, 
and  his  throne  as  the  sun  before  me. 

37  It  shall  be  established  for  ever 
as  the  moon,  and  as  a  faithful  witness

PSALM  cxxxii:ll  The  Lord  hath 
sworn  in  truth  unto  David;  he  will

Spirit  of  holiness,  by  fthe  resurrection

5  Thine  arrows  are  sharp  in  the 
heart  of  the  King's  enemies;  whereby 
the  people  tall  under  thee. 

6  Thy  throne,  O  God.  is  for  ever 
and  ever:  the  sceptre  of  thy  kingdom 
is  a  right  sceptre. 

7  Thou  lovest  righteousness,  and 
hatesl  wickedness:  therefore  God,  thy 
God,  hath  anointed  thee  with  the  oil 
of  gladness  above  thy  fellows. 

PSALM   lxxii:7  In  his   [Christ's] 

days  shall  the  righteous  flourish;  and 
abundance  of  peace  so  long  as  the 
moon  endureth. 

8  He  shall  have  dominion  also  from 
sea  to  sea,  and  from  the  river  unto 
the  ends  of  the  earth. 

9  They  that  dwell  in  the  wilderness 
shall  bow  before  him;  and  his  enemies 
shall  lick  the  dust. 

10  The  kings  of  Tarshish  and  of  the 
isles  shall  bring  presents:  the  kings  of 
Sheba  and  Seba  shall  offer  gifts. 

11  Yea,  all  kings  shall  fall  down 
before  him:  all  nations  shall  serve 
him. 

12  For  he  shall  deliver  the  needy 
when  he  crieth;  the  poor  also,  and  him 
that  hath  no  helper. 

13  He  shall  spare  the  poor  and 
needy,  and  shall  save  the  souls  of  the 
needy. 

14  He  shall  redeem  their  soul  from 
deceit  and  violence:  and  precious  shall 
their  blood  be  in  his  sight. 

15  And  he  shall  live,  and  to  him 
shall  be  given  of  the  gold  of  Sheba: 
prayer  also  shall  be  made  for  him  con- 
tinually; and  daily  shall  he  be  praised. 

16  There  shall  be  a  handful  of 
corn  in  the  earth  upon  the  top  of  the 
mountains;  the  fruit  thereof  shall 
shake  like  Lebanon:  and  they  of  the 
city  shall  flourish  like  grass  of  the 
earth. 

17  His  name  shall  endure  for  ever: 
his  name  shall  be  continued  as  long 
as  the  sun:  and  men  shall  be  blessed 
in  him:  all  nations  shall  call  him 
blessed.

thou  comfortedst  me. 

6  Cry  out  and  shout,  thou  inhabi-

of  Israel  [Christ]  in  the  midst  of  thee. 

PSALM  xvi:9  fTherefnre  my  heart 
is  glad,  and  my  glory  rejoiceth:  my 
flesh  also  shall  rest  in  hope.

forgiving  iniquity  and  transgression

upon  the  children's  children,  unto  the 
third  and  to  the  fourth  generation.

death  compassed  me,  and  the  pains  of

15  So,  as  much  as  in  me  is,  I  am 
ready  to  npreach  the  gospel  to  you 
that  are  at  Rome  also. 

16  For  ol  am  not  ashamed  of  the 
gospel  of  Christ:  for  it  is  the  power  of 
God  unto  salvation  to  every  one  that 
believeth;  to  the  Jew  first,  and  also  to 
the  Greek. 

17  For  therein  is  the  righteousness 
of  God  revealed  from  faith  to  faith:  as 
it  is  written,  pThe  just  shall  live  by 
faith. 

18  For  the  wrath  of  God  is  revealed 
from  heaven  against  all  ungodliness 
and     unrighteousness     of     men,  qwho 

light  of  the  Gentiles:

ing of  the  sun  even  unto  the  going 
down  of  the  same,  my  name  shall  be 
great  among  the  Gentiles;  and  in  ev- 
ery place  incense  shall  be  offered  unto 
my  name,  and  a  pure  offering:  for  my 
name  shall  be  great  among  the  heath- 
en, saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

PSALM  xl:8  nl  [David]  delight  to 
do  thy  will,  0  my  God:  yea,  thy  law 
is  within  my  heart. 

9  I  have  preached  righteousness  in 
the  great  congregation:  lo,  I  have  not 
refrained  my  lips,  O  Lord,  thou  know-

10  I  have  not  hid  thy  righteousness 
within  my  heart;  I  have  declared  thy 
faithfulness  and  thy  salvation:  I  have 
not  concealed  thy  lovingkindness  and 
thy  truth  from  the  great  congregation. 

PSALM  XXV:  1  oUnto  thee,  O 
Lord,  do  I  [David]  lift  up  my  soul. 

2  0  my  God,  I  trust  in  thee:  let  me 
not  be  ashamed,  let  not  mine  enemies 
triumph  over  me. 

3  Yea,  let  none  that  wait  on  thee 
be  ashamed:  let  them  be  ashamed 
which  transgress  without  cause.

hold  the  truth   in  unrighteousness; 

19  Because  that  which  may  be 
known  of  God  is  manifest  in  them; 
for  God  hath  shewed  it  unto  them. 

20  For  rthe  invisible  things  of  him 
from  the  creation  of  the  world  are 
clearly  seen,  being  understood  by  the 
things  that  are  made,  even  his  eternal 
power  and  Godhead;  so  that  they  are 
without  excuse: 

21  Because  that,  when  they  knew 
God,  they  glorified  him  not  as  God, 
sneither  were  thankful;  but  tbecame 
vain  in  their  imaginations,  and  their 
foolish  heart  was  darkened. 

22  Professing  uthemselves  to  be 
wise,  they  became  fools.

ament sheweth  his  handywork. 

2  Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech, 
and  night  unto  night  sheweth  knowl- 
edge. 

3  There  is  no  speech  nor  language, 
where  their  voice  is  not  heard. 

PSALM  cvi:13  sThey  soon  forgat 
his  [God's]  works;  they  waited  not 
for  his  counsel: 

14  But  lusted  exceedingly  in  the 
wilderness,  and  tempted  God  in  the 
desert. 

15  And  he  gave  them  their  request; 
but  set  leanness  into  their  soul. 

IL  KINGS  xvii:14  tNotwithstand- 
ing,  they  [the  Israelites]  would  not 
hear,  but  hardened  their  necks,  like  to 
the  neck  of  their  fathers,  that  did  not 
believe  in  the  Lord  their  God. 

15  And  they  rejected  his  statutes, 
and  his  covenant  that  he  made  with 
their  fathers,  and  his  testimonies 
which  he  testified  against  them;  and 
they  followed  vanity,  and  became  vain, 
and  went  after  the  heathen  that  were 
round  about  them,  concerning  whom 
the  Ijord  had  charged  them,  that  they 
should  not  do  like  them. 

JEREMIAH  ii:5  Thus  saith  the

23  And  changed  the  glory  of  the 
uncorruptible  vQod  into  an  image 
made  like  to  corruptible  man,  and  to 
birds,  and  fourfooted  beasts,  and 
creeping  things. 

24  Wherefore  wGod  also  gave  them 
up  to  uncleanness,  through  the  lusts 
of  their  own  hearts,  to  dishonour  their 
own  bodies  between  themselves: 

25  Who  changed  the  truth  of  God 
xinto  a  lie,  and  worshipped  and  served 
the  creature  more  than  the  Creator, 
who  is  blessed  for  ever.      Amen. 

26  For  this  cause  God  gave  them  up 

hood,  and  there  is  no  breath  in  them.

therefore  good  heed  unto  yourselves; 
for  ye  saw  no  manner  of  similitude  on 
the  day  that  the  Lord  spake  unto  you 
in  Horeb  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire; 

16  Lest  ye  corrupt  yourselves,  and 
make  you  a  graven  image,  the  simili- 
tude of  any  figure,  the  likeness  of 
male  or  female.

is  on  the  earth,  the  likeness  of  any 
winged  fowl  that  flieth  in  the  air, 

18  The  likeness  of  any  thing  that 
creepeth  on  the  ground,  the  likeness  of 
any  fish  that  is  in  the  waters  beneath 
the  earth: 

19  And  lest  thou  lift  up  thine  eyes 
unto  heaven,  and  when  thou  seest  the 
sun,  and  the  moon,  and  the  stars,  ev- 
en all  the  host  of  heaven,  shouldest  be 
driven  to  worship  them,  and  serve 
them,  which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
divided  unto  all  nations  under  the 
whole  heaven. 

PSALM  cvi:20  Thus  they  changed 
their  glory  into  the  similitude  of  an 
ox  that  eateth  grass. 

21  They  forgat  God  their  Saviour, 
which  had  done  great  things  in  Egypt; 

22  Wondrous  works  in  the  land  of 
Ham,  and  terrible  things  by  the  Red 
sea. 

,  ISAIAH  xl:18  To  whom  then  will 
ye  liken  God?  or  what  likeness  will  ye 
compare  unto  him? 

19  The  workman  melteth  a  graven 
image,  and  the  goldsmith  spreadeth  it 
over  with  gold,  and  casteth  silver 
chains.

unto  vile  affections:  for  even  their 
women  did  change  the  natural  use  in- 
to that  which  is  against  nature: 

27  And  likewise  also  the  men,  leav- 
ing the  natural  use  of  the  woman, 
yburned  in  their  lust  one  toward  an- 
other; men  with  men  working  that 
which  is  unseemly,  and  receiving  in 
themselves  that  recompense  of  their 
error  which  was  meet. 

28  And  even  as  they  did  not  like  to 
retain  God  in  their  knowledge,  God 
gave  them  over  to  a  reprobate  mind, 
to  do  those  things  which  are  not  con-

25  To  whom  then  will  ye  liken  me, 
or  shall  I  be  equal?  saith  the  Holy 
One. 

JEREMIAH  ii:ll  Hath  a  nation 
changed  their  gods,  which  are  yet  no 
gods?  but  my  people  have  changed 
their  glory  for  that  which  doth  not 
profit. 

EZEKIEL  viii:10  So  i  went  in  and

ishment thereof;  because  they  have  de- 
spised the  law  of  the  Lord,  and  have 
not  kept  his  commandments,  and  their 
lies  caused  them  to  err,  after  the  which 
their  fathers  have  walked: 

GENESIS  xix:4  yBut  before  they 
lay  down,  the  men  of  the  city,  even  the 
men  of  Sodom,  compassed  the  house 
round,  both  old  and  young,  all  the 
people  from  every  quarter: 

5  And  they  called  unto  Lot,  and 
said  unto  him.  Where  are  the  men 
which  came  in  to  thee  this  night? 
bring  them  out  unto  us,  that  we  may 
know  them.

write  grievousness  which  they  have 
prescribed; 

2  To  turn  aside  the  needy  from 
judgment,  and  to  take  away  the  right 
from  the  poor  of  my  people,  that  wid- 
ows may  be  their  prey,  and  that  they 
may  rob  the  fatherless! 

EZEKIEL  xvi:15  bBut  thou  [the 
Jews]  didst  trust  in  thine  own  beauty, 
and  playedst  the  harlot  because  of  thy 
renown,  and  pouredst  out  thy  fornica- 
tions on  every  one  that  passed  by. 

PSALM  v:9  cFor  there  is  no  faith- 
fulness in  their  mouth  [of  the 
wicked];  their  inward  part  is  very 
wickedness;  their  throat  is  an  open 
sepulchre;  they  flatter  with  their 
tongue. 

EXODUS  xvlii:21  ^Moreover  thou 
[Moses]  shalt  provide  out  of  all 
the  people  able  men,  such  as  fear  God, 
men  of  truth,  hating  covetousness; 
and  place  such  over  them,  to  be  rul- 
ers of  thousands,  and  rulers  of  hun- 
dreds, rulers  of  fifties,  and  rulers  of 
tens: 

PSALM  111:7  Lo,  this  is  the  man 
that  made  not  God  his  strength;  but 
trusted  in  the  abundance  of  his  riches, 
and  strengthened  himself  in  his  wick- 
edness. 

PSALM  xxxiv:16  eThe  face  of  the 
Lord  is  against  them  that  do  evil,  to 
cut  off  the  remembrance  of  them  from 
the  earth. 

PROVERBS  xiv:30  fA  sound  heart

cruel,  and  anger  is  outrageous;  but 
who  is  able  to  stand  before  envy? 

PSALM  xciv:3  gLord,  how  long

wicked  triumph? 

6  They  slay  the  widow  and  the 
stranger,  and  murder  the  fatherless. 

ISAIAH  lviii:4  hBehold,  ye  fast

Ethiopian  change  his  skin,  or  the 
leopard  his  spots?  then  may  ye  also

evil. 

PSALM  xli:5  kMine  enemies 
speak  evil  of  me  [David],  When  shall 
he  die,  and  his  name  perish? 

6  And  if  he  come  to  see  me,  he 
speaketh  vanity:  his  heart  gathereth 
iniquity  to  itself;  when  he  goeth 
abroad,  he  telleth  it. 

7  All  that  hate  me  whisper  togeth- 
er against  me:  against  me  do  they  de- 
vise my  hurt. 

PSALM  XV :1  iLord.  who  shall 
abide  in  thy  tabernacle?  who  shall 
dwell  in  thy  holy  hill?

HOSE  A  ix:8  The  watchman  of 
Ephraim  was  with  my  God:  but  the 
prophet  is  a  snare  of  a  fowler  in  all 
his  ways,  and  hatred  in  the  house  of

PSALM  x:13  nWherefore  doth  the 
wicked  contemn  God?  he  hath  said  in 
his  heart.  Thou  wilt  not  require  it.

the  goodness  of  God  endureth  contin-

2  Thy  tongue  deviseth  mischiefs; 
like  a  sharp  razor,  working  deceitful- 
ly. 

3  Thou  lovest  evil  more  than 
good;  and  lying  rather  than  to  speak 
righteousness. 

4  Thou  lovest  all  devouring  words, 
O  thou  deceitful  tongue. 

5  God  shall  likewise  destroy  thee 
for  ever,  he  shall  take  thee  away,  and 
pluck  thee  out  of  thy  dwellingplace, 
and  root  thee  out  of  the  land  of  the 
living. 

PSALM   cvi:28  q[The   Israelites] 

joined  themselves  also  unto  Baalpeor, 
and  ate  the  sacrifices  of  the  dead. 

29  Thus  they  provoked  him  to  an- 
ger with  their  inventions:  and  the 
plague  brake  in  upon  them. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxi:  18  rif  a  man 
have  a  stubborn  and  rebellious  son, 
which  will  not  obey  the  voice  of  his 
father,  or  the  voice  of  his  mother, 
and  that,  when  they  have  chastened 
him,  will  not  hearken  unto  them: 

19  Then  shall  his  father  and  his 
mother  lay  hold  on  him,  and  bring 
him  out  unto  the  elders  of  his  city, 
and  unto  the  gate  of  his  place; 

20  And  they  shall  say  unto  the  el- 
ders of  his  city.  This  our  son  is  stub- 
born and  rebellious,  he  will  not  obey 
our  voice;  he  is  a  giitton,  and  a 
drunkard. 

21  And  all  the  men  of  his  city  shall 
stone  him  with  stones,  that  he  die: 
so  Shalt  thou  put  evil  away  from 
among  you;  and  all  Israel  shall  hear, 
and  fear. 

L  KINGS  XI  :1  sBut  king  Solomon 
loved  many  strange  women,  together 
with  the  daughter  of  Pharaoh,  women 
of  the  Moabites,  Ammonites,  Edom- 
ites,  Zidonians,  and  Hittites; 

2  Of  the  nations  concerning  which 
the    Lord    said    unto  the  children   of 


fection,  timplacable,  uunmerciful: 
32     Who,    vknowing    the    judgment 

Israel,  Ye  shall  not  go  in  to  them, 
neither  shall  they  come  in  unto  you: 
for  surely  they  will  turn  away  your 
heart  after  their  gods:  Solomon  clave 
unto  these  in  love. 

3  And  he  had  seven  hundred 
wives,  princesses,  and  three  hundred 
concubines:  and  his  wives  turned 
away  his  heart. 

4  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  Solo- 
mon was  old,  that  his  wives  turned 
away  his  heart  after  other  gods:  and 
his  heart  was  not  perfect  with  the 
Lord  his  God,  as  was  the  heart  of  Da- 
vid his  father. 

5  For  Solomon  went  after  Ashto- 
reth  the  goddess  of  the  Zidonians,  and 
after  Milcom  the  abomination  of  the 
Ammonites. 

EZRA  ix:13  And  after  all  that  is 
come  upon  us  [the  Jews]  for  our  evil 
deeds,  and  for  our  great  trespass,  see- 
ing that  thou  our  God  hast  punished 
us  less  than  our  iniquities  deserve, 
and  hast  given  us  such  deliverance  as 
this; 

14  Should  we  again  break  thy  com- 
mandments, and  join  in  affinity  with 
the  people  of  these  abominations? 
wouldest  not  thou  be  angry  with  us 
till  thou  hadst  consumed  us,  so  that 
there  should  be  no  remnant  nor  es- 
caping? 

ISAIAH  xxxii:6  tFor  the  vile  per- 
son will  speak  villany,  and  his  heart 
will  work  iniquity,  to  practice  hypoc- 
risy, and  to  utter  error  against  the 
Lord,  to  make  empty  the  soul  of  the 
hungry:  and  he  will  cause  the  drink 
of  the  thirsty  to  fail. 

7  The  instruments  also  of  the 
churl  are  evil:  he  deviseth  wicked  de- 
vices to  destroy  the  poor  with  lying 
words,  even  when  the  needy  speaketh 
right. 

PROVERBS  xiv:31  uHe  that  op- 
presseth  the  poor  reproacheth  his 
Maker:  but  he  that  honoureth  him 
hath  mercy  on  the  poor. 

EXODUS  xxiv:3  vAnd  Moses 
came  and  told  the  people  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord,  and  all  the  judg-

with  one  voice,  and  said.  All  the 
words  which  the  Lord  hath  said  will 
we  do.

of  God,  that  wthey  which  commit  such 
things  are  worthy  of  death,  not  only 
xdo  the  same,  but  have  ypleasure  in 
them  that  do  them. 

CHAPTER  II. 

They  who  condemn  sin  in  others  cannot  ex- 
cuse themselves.  9  Both  the  sinnintr  Jews  and 
Gentiles  shall  be  punished.  25  Circunuision 
shall  not  profit  unless  the  heart  is  circumcised. 

1  Therefore  thou  art  inexcusable, 
O  man,  whosoever  thou  art  that  judg- 
est:  afor  wherein  thou  judgest  anoth- 
er, thou  condemnest  thyself;  for  thou 
that  judgest  doest  the  same  things. 

2  But  we  are  sure  that  the  judg- 
ment of  God  is  according  to  truth 
against  them  which  commit  such 
things. 

also  in  the  prophets  of  Jerusalem  a 
horrible  thing:  they  commit  adultery, 
and  walk  in  lies:  they  strengthen  also 
the  hands  of  evil  doers,  that  none  doth 
return  from  his  wickedness:  they  are 
all  of  them  unto  me  as  Sodom,  and  the 
inhabitants  thereof  as   Gomorrah. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts  concerning  the  prophets;  Be- 
hold, I  will  feed  them  with  worm- 
wood, and  make  them  drink  the  wa- 
ter of  gall:  for  from  the  prophets  of 
.Terusalem  is  profaneness  gone  forth 
into  all  the  land. 

PROVERBS  xii:15  xThe  way  of  a 
fool  is  right  in  his  own  eyes: 

PSALM  1:18  yWhen  thou  sawest 
a  thief,  then  thou  consentedst  with 
him,  and  hast  been  partaker  with 
adulterers. 

HOSEA  vii:3  They  make  the  king 
glad  with  their  wickedness,  and  the 
princes  with  their  lies. 

4  They  are  all  adulterers,  as  an 
oven  heated  by  the  baker,  who  ceas- 
eth  from  raising  after  he  hath 
kneaded  the  dough,  until  it  be  leav- 
ened. 

II.  SAMUEL  xii:5  aAnd  David's 
anger  was  greatly  kindled  against  the 
man;  and  he  said  to  Nathan,  As  the 
Lord  liveth,  the  man  that  hath  done 
this  thing  shall  surely  die: 

6  And  he  shall  restore  the  lamb 
fourfold,  because  he  did  this  thing, 
and  because  he  had  no  pity. 

7  And  Nathan  said  to  David,  Thou 
art  the  man.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God     of     Israel,  I  anointed  thee  king 


3  And  bthinkest  thou  this,  O  man, 
that  judgest  them  which  do  such 
things,  and  doest  the  same,  that  thou 
shalt  escape  the  judgment  of  God? 

4  Or  despisest  thou  the  riches  of 
his  goodness  and  forbearance  and 
clongsuffering;  dnot  knowing  that  the 
goodness  of  God  leadeth  thee  to  re- 
pentance? 

5  But,  after  thy  hardness  and  im- 
penitent heart,  etreasurest  up  unto 
thyself  wrath  against  the  day  of 
wrath  and  revelation  of  the  righteous 
judgment  of  God; 

6  fWho  will  render  to  every  man 
according  to  his  deeds: 

over  Israel,  and  I  delivered  thee  out 
of  the  hand  of  Saul; 

PROVERBS  xi:21  bThough  hand 
join  in  hand,  the  wicked  shall  not  be 
unpunished:  but  the  seed  of  the  right- 
eous shall  be  delivered. 

EXODUS  xxxiv:6  cAnd  the  Lord 
passed  by  before  him  [Moses],  and 
proclaimed.  The  Lord,  The  Lord  God, 
merciful  and  gracious,  longsuffering, 
and   abundant  in  goodness  and  truth, 

7  Keeping  mercy  for  thousands, 
forgiving  iniquity  and  transgression 
and  sin,  and  that  will  by  no  means 
clear  the  guilty;  visiting  the  iniquity 
of  the  fathers  upon  the  children,  and 
upon  the  children's  children,  unto  the 
third  and   to  the  fourth  generation. 

ISAIAH     xxx:18  dAnd   therefore 

will  the  Lord  wait,  that  he  may  be 
gracious  unto  you,  and  therefore  will 
he  be  exalted,  that  he  may  have  mer- 
cy upon  you:  for  the  Lord  is  a  God  of 
judgment:  blessed  are  all  they  that 
wait  for  him.

thine  heart  turn  away,  so  that  thou

ECCLESIASTES  xii:14  JFor  God 
shall  bring  every  work  into  judgment, 
with  every  secret  thing,  whether  it  be 
good,  or  whether  it  be  evil. 

MICAH  iii:ll  kThe  heads  thereof 
judge  for  reward,  and  the  priests 
thereof  teach  for  hire,  and  the  pro- 
phets thereof  divine  for  money:  yet 
will  they  lean  upon  the  Lord,  and  say, 
Is  not  the  Lord  among  us?  none  evil 
can  come  upon  us. 

ISAIAH  lxv:25  Un  the  Lord  shall 
all  the  seed  of  Israel  be  justified,  and 
shall  glory. 

ISAIAH  xlviii:2  For  they  call 
themselves  of  the  holy  city,  and  stay 
themselves  upon  the  God  of  Israel: 
The  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

DEUTERONOMY  iv:8  mAnd  what 
nation  is  there  so  great,  that  hath 
statutes  and  judgments  so  righteous 
as  all  this  law,  which  I  set  before  you 
this  day? 

PSALM  cxlvii:19  He  sheweth  his 
■word  unto  Jacob,  his  statutes  and  his 
judgments  unto  Israel. 

20  He  hath  not  dealt  so  with  any 
nation:  and  as  for  his  judgments. 
they  have  not  known  them.  Praise 
ye  the  Lord. 

V  PSALM  1:16  nBut  unto  the  wicked 
God  saith,  What  hast  thou  to  do  to 
declare  my  statutes,  or  that  thou 
ehouldest     take     my  covenant  in  thy 


idols,  dost  thou  commit  sacrilege? 

23  Thou  that  makest  thy  boast  of 
the  law,  through  breaking  the  law 
dlshonourest   thou   God? 

24  P^or  the  name  of  God  is  blas- 
phemed among  the  Gentiles  through 
you,  as  it  pis  written. 

25  For  circumcision  verily  profit- 
eth,  if  thou  keep  the  law:  but  if  thou 
be  a  breaker  of  the  law,  thy  circum- 
cision  is    made   uncircumcision. 

26  Therefore,  if  the  uncircumcis- 
ion keep  the  righteousness  of  the  law, 
shall  not  his  uncircumcision  be 
counted  for  circumcision? 

27  And  shall  not  uncircumcision 
which  is  by  nature,  if  it  fulfill  the 
law,  judge  thee,  who  by  the  letter  and 
circumcision  dost  transgress  the  law? 

28  For     he  is  not  a  Jew,  which  is 

mouth? 

17  Seeing  thou  hatest  instruction, 
and  castest  my  words  behind  thee. 

M.\LACHI  iii:8  oWill  a  man  rob 
God?  Yet  ye  have  robbed  me.  But  ye 
say,  Wherein  have  we  robbed  thee?  In 
tithes  and  offerings. 

9  Ye  are  cursed  with  a  curse:  for 
ye  have  robbed  me,  even  this  whole 
nation. 

II.  SAMUEL  xii:10  pNow  there- 
fore the  sword  shall  never  depart 
from  thine  house;  because  thou  hast 
despised  me,  and  hast  taken  the  wife 
of  Uriah  the  Hittite  to  be  thy  wife. 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I 
will  raise  up  evil  against  thee  out  of 
thine  own  house,  and  I  will  take  thy 
wives  before  thine  eyes,  and  give 
them  unto  thy  neighbour,  and  he 
shall  lie  with  thy  wives  in  the  sight 
of  this  sun. 

12  For  thou  didst  it  secretly:  but  I 
will  do  this  thing  before  all  Israel, 
and  before  the  sun. 

13  And  David  said  unto  Nathan,  I 
have  sinned  against  the  Lord.  And 
Nathan  said  unto  David.  The  Ix)rd  al- 
so hath  put  away  thy  sin;  thou  shalt 
not  die. 

14  Howbeit,  because  by  this  deed 
thou  hast  given  great  occasion  to  the 
enemies  of  the  Lord  to  blaspheme,  the 
child  also  that  is  born  unto  thee  shall 
surely  die.

one  outwardly;  neither  is  that  cir- 
cumcision, which  is  outward  in  the 
flesh: 

29  But  he  is  a  Jew,  which  is  one 
inwardly;  and  qcircumcision  is  that 
of  the  heart,  in  the  spirit,  and  not  in 
the  letter;  whose  praise  is  not  of  men, 
but  of  God. 

CHAPTER  III. 

To  the  Jews  were  committed  the  oracles  of 
God.  9  Both  Jews  and  Gentiles  are  under  sin. 
20  None  are  justitled  by  the  law.  22  The  right- 
ousness  of  God  is  by  faith  of   Jesus  Christ. 

1  What  advantage  then  hath  the 
Jew?  or  what  profit  is  there  of  cir- 
cumcision? 

ISAIAH  lii:5  Now  therefore,  what 
have  I  here,  saith  the  Lord,  that  my 
people  is  taken  away  for  nought? 
they  that  rule  over  them  make  them 
to  howl,  saith  the  Lord;  and  my  name 
continually    every  day  is  blasphemed. 

EZEKIEL  xxxvi:20  And  when 
they  entered  unto  the  heathen,  whith- 
er they  went,  they  profaned  my  holy 
name,  when  they  said  to  them.  These 
are  the  people  of  the  Lord,  and  are 
gone  forth  out  of  his  land. 

23  And  I  will  sanctify  my  great 
name,  which  was  profaned  among  the 
heathen,  which  ye  have  profaned  in 
the  midst  of  them;  and  the  heathen 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  when  I  shall  be  sancti- 
fied in  you  before  their  eyes. 

DEUTERONOMY  x:16  qCircum- 
cise  therefore  the  foreskin  of  your 
heart,  and  be  no  more  stiffnecked. 

JEREMIAH  vi:10  To  whom  shall 
I  speak,  and  give  warning,  that  they 
may  hear?  Behold,  their  ear  is  un^ 
circumcised,  and  they  cannot  heark- 
en: behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord  is 
unto  them  a  reproach;  they  have  no 
delight  in  it. 

JEREMIAH  ix:25  Behold,  the 
days  come,  saith  the  Lord,  that  I  will 
punish  all  them  which  are  circum- 
cised with  the  uncircumcised; 

26  Egypt,  and  Judah,  and  Edom, 
and  the  children  of  Ammon,  and 
Moab,  and  all  that  are  in  the  utmost 
corners,  that  dwell  in  the  wilderness: 
for  all  these  nations  are  uncircum- 
cised, and  all  the  house  of  Israel  are 
uncircumcised  in  the  heart. 

EZEKIEL  xliv:7       In  that  ye  have 


2  Much  every  way:  chiefly,  be- 
cause that  aunto  them  were  com- 
mitted the  oracles  of  God. 

3  For  what  if  some  did  not  be- 
lieve? bshall  their  unbelief  make  the 
faith  of  God  without  effect? 

4  cGod  forbid:  yea,  let  God  be 
true,  but  devery  man  a  liar;  as  it  is 
written,  eThat  thou  mightest  be  jus- 
tified in  thy  sayings,  and  mightest 
overcome  when  thou  art  judged. 

5  But  if  our  unrighteousness  com- 
mend the  righteousness  of  God,  what 
shall     we  say?        Is  God  unrighteous 

brought  into  my  sanctuary  strangers, 
uncircumcised  in  heart,  and  uncir- 
cumcised in  flesh,  to  be  in  my  sanctu- 
ary, to  pollute  it,  even  my  house,  when 
ye  offer  my  bread,  the  fat  and  the 
blood,  and  they  have  broken  my  cove- 
nant because  of  all  your  abomina- 
tions. 

DEUTERONOMY  iv:8  aAnd  what 
nation  is  there  so  great,  that  hath 
statutes  and  judgments  so  righteous 
as  all  this  law,  which  I  set  before  you 
this  day? 

PSALM  cxlvii:19  He  sheweth  his 
word  unto  Jacob,  his  statutes  and  his 
judgments  unto  Israel. 

20  He  hath  not  dealt  so  with  any 
nation:  and  as  for  his  judgments,  they" 
have  not  known  them.  Praise  ye  the 
Lord. 

NUMBERS  xxiii:19  bGod  is  not  a 
man,  that  he  should  lie;  neither  the 
son  of  man,  that  he  should  repent: 
hath  he  said,  and  shall  he  not  do  it? 
or  hath  he  spoken,  and  shall  he  not 
make  it  good? 

JOB  xl:8  cWilt  thou  also  disannul 
my  judgment?  wilt  thou  condemn  me, 
that  thou  maj'est  be  righteous? 

PSALM  lxii:9  dSurely  men  of  low 
degree  are  vanity,  and  men  of  high 
degree  are  a  lie:  to  be  laid  in  the  bal- 
ance, they  are  altogether  lighter  than 
vanity. 

PSALM  cxvi:ll  I  said  in  my 
haste.  All  men  are  liars. 

PSALM  li:4  eAgainst  thee,  thee 
only,  have  I  [David]  sinned,  and  done 
this  evil  in  thy  sight:  that  thou 
mightest  be  justified  when  thou  speak- 
est,  and  be  clear  when  thou  judgest.

that  they  are  all  under  sin; 

drew  near,  and  said.  Wilt  thou  also

25  That  be  far  from  thee  to  do  af- 
ter this  manner,  to  slay  the  right-

righteous  should  be  as  the  wicked,

Judge  of  all  the  earth  do  right?

be  angry,  and  I  will  speak  yet  but

abominable  works,  there  is  none  that 
doeth  good. 

2  The  Lord  looked  down  from 
heaven  upon  the  children  of  men.  to 
see  if  there  were  any  that  did  under- 
stand, and  seek  God. 

3  They  are  all  gone  aside,  they 
are  altogether  become  filthy:  there  is 
none  that  doeth  good.  no.  not  one. 

PSAL:\I  LIILI  The  fool  hath  said 
in  his  heart.  There  is  no  God.  Cor- 
rujit  are  they,  and  have  done  abomin-

good. 

2  God  looked  down  from  heaven

there  were  any   that   did   understand, 


10  As  it  is  written,  gThere  is  none 

ft 

righteous,  no,  not  one: 

11  There  is  none  that  understand- 
eth,  there  is  none  that  seeketh  after 
God. 

12  They  are  all  gone  out  of  the 
way,  they  are  together  become  unpro- 
fitable; there  is  none  that  doeth  good, 
no,  not  one. 

13  hTheir  throat  is  an  open  sepul- 
chre; with  their  tongues  they  have 
used  deceit;  the  poison  of  asps  is  un- 
der their  lips: 

14  iWhose  mouth  is  full  of  cursing 
and  bitterness: 

that  did  seek  God. 

3  Every  one  of  them  is  gone  back: 
they  are  altogether  become  filthy; 
there  is  none  that  doeth  good,  no,  not 
one. 

F3ALM  v:8  hLead  me,  0  Lord,  in 
thy  righteousness  because  of  mine  ene- 
mies; make  thy  way  straight  before 
my  face. 

9  For  their  is  no  faithfulness  in 
their  mouth;  their  inward  part  is  very 
wickedness;  their  throat  is  an  open 
sepulchre;  they  flatter  with  their 
tongue. 

JEREMIAH  v:15  Lo.  I  will  bring 
a  nation  upon  you  from  far,  O  house 
of  Israel,  saith  the  Lord:  it  is  a 
mighty  nation,  it  is  an  ancient  nation, 
a  nation  whose  language  thou  know- 
est  not.  neither  understandest  what 
they  say. 

16  Their  quiver  is  as  an  open  sep- 
ulchre, they  are  all  mighty  men. 

17  And  they  shall  eat  up  thine  har- 
vest and  thy  bread,  which  thy  sons 
and  thy  daughters  should  eat:  they 
shall  eat  up  thj'  flocks  and  thine 
herds:  they  shall  eat  up  thy  vines  and

thy  fenced  cities,  wherein  thou  trust-

19  Now  we  know  that  what  things 
soever  the  law  saith,  it  saith  to  them 
that  are  under  the  law:  that  levery 
mouth  may  be  stopped,  and  all  the 
world  may  become  guilty  before  God. 

20  Therefore  by  the  deeds  of  the 
law  there  shall  no  flesh  be  justified 
in  his  sight:  for  by  mthe  law  is  the

21  But  now  the  righteousness  of

his  righteousness:  that  he  might  be 
just,  and  the  justifier  of  him  which  be-

Nay;   but  by  the  law  of  faith.

Abraham's  Faith  was 


ROMANS  IV. 


Counted  for  Righteousness. 


CHAPPTER  IV. 


Abraham's  faith  was  imputed  to  him  for 
righteousness,  before  he  was  circumcised.  13 
Abraham  and  his  seed  received  the  promise  by 
faith.  24  Our  faith  shall  be  imputed  to  us  for 
righteousness. 

1  What  shall  •we  say  then  that 
aAbraham  our  father,  as  pertaining  to 
the  flesh,  hath  found? 

2  For  if  Abraham  were  justified  by 
"works,  he  hath  -whereof  to  glory;  but 
not  before  God. 

3  For  -what  saith  the  Scripture? 
bAbraham  believed  God,  and  it  -was 
counted   unto   him   for  righteousness. 

4  Now  to  him  that  worketh  is  the 
reward  not  reckoned  of  grace,  but  of 
debt. 

5  But  to  him  that  worketh  not, 
but  believeth  on  him  that  justifieth 
cthe  ungodly,  his  faith  is  counted  for 
righteousness. 

6  Even  as  David  also  describeth  the 
blessedness  of  the  man,  unto  whom 
God  dimputeth  righteousness  without 
•works. 

7  Saying,  eBlessed  are  they  whose 
iniquities  are  forgiven,  and  whose  sins 
are  covered. 

8  Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom  the 
Lord  will  not  impute  sin. 

9  Cometh  this  blessedness  then  up- 

fering  in  righteousness. 

ISAIAH  li:2  aLook  unto  Abraham 
your  father,  and  unto  Sarah  that  bare 
you:  for  I  [God]  called  him  alone,  and 
blessed  him,  and  increased  him. 

GENESIS  xv:6  b[Abram]  believed 
in  the  Lord;  and  he  counted  it  to  him 
for  righteousness. 

JOSHUA  xxiv:2  cAnd  Joshua  said 
unto  all  the  people,  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel.  Your  fathers  dwelt 
on  the  other  side  of  the  flood  [the 
Euphrates]  in  old  time,  even  Terah, 
the  father  of  Abraham,  and  the  fa-

other  gods. 

JEREMIAH  xxiii:5  dBehold,  the

and  justice  in  the  earth. 


on  the  circumcision  only,  or  upon  the 
uncircumcision  also?  for  we  say  that 
faith  was  reckoned  to  Abraham  for 
righteousness. 

10  How  was  it  then  reckoned? 
When  he  was  in  circumcision,  or  in 
uncircumcision?  Not  in  circumcision, 
but  in   uncircumcision. 

11  And  fhe  received  the  sign  of  cir- 
cumcision, a  seal  of  righteousness 
of  the  faith  which  he  had  yet  being 
uncircumcised:  that  he  might  be  the 
father  of  all  them  that  believe,  though 
they  be  not  circumcised;  that  right- 
eousness might  be  imputed  unto  them 
also: 

12  And  the  father  of  circumcision 
to  them  who  are  not  of  the  circumcis- 
ion only,  but  who  also  walk  in  the 
steps  of  that  faith  of  our  father  Abra- 
ham, which  he  had  being  yet  uncir- 
cumcised. 

13  For  the  promise,  that  he  should 
be  gthe  heir  of  the  world,  was  not  to 
Abraham,  or  to  his  seed,  through  the 
law,  but  through  the  righteousness  of 
faith. 

14  For  if  they  which  are  of  the 
law  be  heirs,  faith  is  made  void,  and 
the  promise  made  of  none  effect: 


6  In  his  days  Judah  shall  be  saved, 
and  .israel  shall  dwell  safely:  and  this 
is  his  name  whereby  he  shall  be  called.

PSALM  XXXII:  1  eBlessed  is  he 
whose  transgression  is  forgiven,  whose 
sin  is  covered. 

2  Blessed  is  the  man  unto  whom 
the  Lord  imputeth  not  iniquity,  and 
in    whose    spirit    there    is    no    guile. 

GENESIS  xvii:10  fThis  is  my  cove- 
enant,  which  ye  shall  keep,  bet-ween

flesh  of  your  foreskin;  and  it  shall  be 
a  token  of  the  covenant  betwixt  me

15  Because  the  law  worketh  wrath: 
for  where  no  law  is,  there  is  no  trans- 
gression. 

16  Therefore  it  is  of  faith,  that  it 
might  be  by  grace;  to  the  end  the 
promise  might  be  sure  to  all  the  seed; 
not  to  that  only  which  is  of  the  law, 
but  to  that  also  which  is  of  the  faith 
of  Abraham;  hwho  is  the  father  of  us 
all, 

17  (As  it  is  written,  il  have  made 
thee  a  father  of  many  nations,)  before 
him  whom  he  believed,  even  God,  who 
quickeneth  the  dead,  and  calleth  those 
things  which  be  not  as  though  they 
were: 

18  Who  against  hope  believed  in 
hope,  that  he  might  become  the  father 
of  many  nations,  according  to  that 
which  was  spoken,  JSo  shall  thy  seed 
be. 

19  And  being  not  weak  in  faith,  khe 
considered  not  his  own  body  now  dead, 
when  he  was  about  a  hundred  years 

many  nations. 

ISAIAH  li:2  hLook  unto  Abraham 
your  father,  and  unto  Sarah  that  bare 
you:  for  I  called  him  alone,  and 
blessed  him,  and  increased  him. 

GENESIS  xvii:5  iNeither  shall  thy 
name  any  more  be  called  Abram,  but 
thy  name  shall  be  Abraham;  for  a  fa- 
ther of  many  nations  have  I  made 
thee. 

6  And  I  will  make  thee  exceeding 
fruitful,  and  I  will  make  nations  of 
thee,  and  kings  shall  come  out  of  thee. 

7  And  I  will  establish  my  covenant 
between  me  and  thee  and  thy  seed  af- 
ter thee  in  their  generations,  for  an 
everlasting  covenant,  to  be  a  God  un- 
to thee  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee. 

GENESIS  XV :  3  JAnd  Abram  said. 
Behold,  to  me  thou  hast  given  no  seed: 
a,nd,  lo,  one  born  in  my  house  is  mine 
heir. 

4  And,  behold,  the  word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  him.  saying.  This 
shall  not  be  thine  heir;  but  he  that 
shall  come  forth  out  of  thine  own 
bowels  shall  be  thine  heir. 

5  And  .he  brought  him  forth 
abroad    and     said,    Look  now  toward 


old,  neither  yet  the  deadness  of  Sa- 
rah's womb: 

20  He  staggered  not  at  the  prom- 
ise of  God  through  unbelief;  but  was 
strong  in  faith,  giving  glory  to  God; 

21  And  being  fully  persuaded,  that 
what  he  had  promised,  ihe  was  able 
also  to  perform. 

22  And  therefore  it  was  imputed  to 
him  for  righteousness. 

23  Now  it  was  not  written  for  his 
sake  alone,  that  it  was  imputed  to 
him; 

24  But  for  us  also,  to  whom  it  shall 
be  imputed,  if  we  believe  on  him  that 
raised  up  Jesus  our  Lord  from  the 
dead; 

25  mWho  was  delivered  for  our  of- 
fences, and  was  raised  again  for  our 
justification.

able  to  number  them:  and  he  said  un- 
to him.  So  shall  thy  seed  be. 

GENESIS  xvii:17  kThen  Abraham 
fell  upon  his  face,  and  laughed,  and 
said  in  his  heart.  Shall  a  child  be  born 
unto  him  that  is  a  hundred  years  old? 
and  shall  Sarah,  that  is  ninety  years 
old,  bear? 

19  And  God  said,  Sarah  thy  wife 
shall  bear  thee  a  son  indeed;  and  thou 
shalt  call  his  name  Isaac:  and  I  will 
establish  my  covenant  with  him  for  an 
everlasting  covenant,  and  with  his

entered  into  the  world,  and  death  by 
sin;  and  so  death  passed  upon  all 
men,  for  that  all  have  sinned: 

13  (For  until  the  law  sin  was  in 
the  world:  but  sin  is  not  imputed 
when  there  is  no  law. 

14  Nevertheless  Jdeath  reigned 
from  Adam  to  Moses,  even  over  them 
that  had  not  sinned  after  the  simili- 
tude of  Adam's  transgression,  who  is 
the  figure  of  him  that  was  to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  offence,  so  also  is 
the  free  gift:  for  if  through  the  of- 
fence of  one  many  be  dead,  much 
more  the  grace  of  God,  and  the  gift 
by  grace,  which  is  by  one  man,  Jesus 
Christ,     khath     abounded    unto  many. 

16  And  not  as  it  was  by  one  that 
sinned,  so  is  the  gift:  for  the  judg- 
ment was  by  one  to  condemnation, 
but  the  free  gift  is  of  many  offences 
unto  justification. 

17  For  if  by  one  man's  offence 
death  reigned  by  one;  much  more  they 
which  receive  abundance  of  grace  and 

milk  without  money  and  without 
price. 

1  Wherefore  do  ye  spend  money 
for  that  which  is  not  bread?  and  your 
labour  for  that  which  satisfieth  not? 
hearken  diligently  unto  me,  and  eat 
ye  that  which  is  good,  and  let  your 
soul  delight  itself  in  fatness. 

3  Incline  your  ear,  and  come  unto 
me:  hear,  and  your  soul  shall  live; 
and  I  will  make  an  everlasting  cove- 
nant with  you,  even  the  sure  mercies 
[of  Jesus  the  son]  of  David.

one  wise,  she  took  of  the  fruit  there- 
of, and  did  eat,  and  gave  also  unto 
her  husband  with  her;  and  he  did  eat. 

7  And  the  eyes  of  them  both  were

gether,  and  made  themselves  aprons.

18  Therefore,  as  by  the  offence  of 
one  judgment  came  upon  all  men  to 
condemnation;  even  so  by  the  right- 
eousness of  one  the  free  gift  came  up- 
on all  men  unto  justification  of  life. 

19  For  as  by  one  man's  disobed- 
ience many  were  made  sinners,  so  by 
the  obedience  of  one  shall  many  be 
made  righteous. 

20  Moreover  the  law  entered,  that 
the  offence  might  abound.  But  where 
sin  abounded,  grace  did  much  more 
abound: 

21  That  as  sin  hath  reigned  unto 
death,  even  so  might  grace  reign 
through  righteousness  unto  eternal 
life  by  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

CHAPTER  VI. 

We  cannot  live  in  sin  when  we  are  dead  unto 
it,  which  is  indicated  by  baptism :  6  sin  being-

us,   18  being  freea  from  it. 

1    What  shall  we  say  then?      Shall 

we     continue    in  sin,  that  grace  may

the  cool  of  the  day:  and  Adam  and  his

the  garden.

Adam,  and  said  unto  him.  Where  art

cause I  was  naked:   and  I  hid  myself.

9  Knowing  that  fChrist  being 
raised  from  the  dead  dieth  no  more; 
death  hath  no  more  dominion  over 
him.

liveth  unto  God.

21  What  fruit  had  ye  then  in  those 
things  whereof  ye  are  now  ashamed? 
for  the  end  of  those  things  is  death. 

22  But  now  being  made  free  from 
sin,  and  become  servants  to  God,  nye 
have  your  fruit  unto  holiness,  and  the 
end  everlasting  life. 

23  For  othe  wages  of  sin  is  death; 
but  the  pgift  of  God  is  eternal  life 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

CHAPTER  VII. 

The  law  In  the  married  relation  is  during  life, 
but  at  death  that  law  is  annulled.  5  When  we 
are  dead  to  sin  we  serve  Christ  in  newness  of 
spirit.  12  The  law  is  holy.  14  There  is  a  con- 
flict between  the  carnal  and  sijiritual.

speak  to  them  that  know  the  law,) 
how  that  the  law  hath  dominion  over 
a  man  as  long  as  he  liveth?

that  man  was  perfect  and  upright, 
and  one  that  feared  God,  and  eschewed 
evil. 

8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan, 
Hast  thou  considered  my  servant  Job, 
that  there  is  none  like  him  in  the 
earth,  a  perfect  and  an  upright  man, 
one  that  feareth  God,  and  escheweth 
evil? 

ISAIAH  lxii:10  nGo  through,  go 
through  the  gates;  prepare  ye  the  way 
of  the  people;  cast  up,  cast  up  the 
highway;  gather  out  the  stones;  lift 
up   a  standard  for  the  people. 

11  Behold,  the  Lord  hath  pro- 
claimed unto  the  end  of  the  world. 
Say  ye  to  the  daughter  of  Zion.  Be- 
hold, thy  salvation  cometh;  behold., 
his  reward  is  with  him,  and  his  work 
before  him. 

12  And  they  shall  call  them.  The 
holy  people.  The  redeemed  of  the 
Lord:  and  thou  shalt  be  called.  Sought 
out.  A  city  not  forsaken. 

GENESIS  ii:17  oBut  of  the  tree  of 
the  knowledge  of  good  and  evil,  thou 


the     husband     be  dead,  she  is   loosed 
from  the  law  of  her  husband. 

3  So  then  if,  while  her  husband 
liveth,  she  be  married  to  another  man, 
she  shall  be  called  an  adulteress:  but 
If  her  husband  be  dead,  she  is  free 
from  that  law;  so  that  she  is  no  adul- 
teress, though  she  be  married  to  an- 
other man. 

4  Wherefore,  my  brethren,  ye  also 
are  become  dead  to  the  law  by  the 
body  of  Christ;  that  ye  should  be 
married  to  another,  even  to  hlra  who 
is  raised  from  the  dead,  that  we  should 
bring  forth  fruit  unto  God. 

5  For  when  we  were  in  the  flesh, 
the  motions  of  sin,  which  were  by  the 
law,  did  work  in  our  members  to 
bring  forth  fruit  unto  death. 

6  But  now  we  are  delivered  from 
the  law,  that  being  dead  wherein  we 
were  held;  that  we  should  serve  ain 
newness  of  spirit,  and  not  In  the  old- 
ness  of  the  letter.

my  glory  rejoiceth:  my  flesh  also  shall 
rest  in  hope.

life:  in  thy  presence  is  fulness  of  joy; 
at  thy  right  hand  there  are  pleasures 
for  evermore.

not  known  sin,  but  by  the  law:  for  I 
had  not  known  lust,  except  the  law 
had  said,  bThou  shalt  not  covet. 

8  But  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the 
commandment,  wrought  in  me  all 
manner  of  concupiscence.  For  with- 
out the  law  sin  was  dead. 

9  For  I  was  alive  without  the  law 
once:  but  when  the  commandment 
came,  sin  revived,  and  I  died. 

10  And  the  commandment,  cwhich 
was  ordained  to  life,  I  found  to  be  un- 
to death. 

11  For  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the 
commandment,  deceived  me,  and  by  it 
slew  me. 

12  Wherefore  the  dlaw  is  holy,  and 
the  commandment  holy,  and  just,  and 
good. 

13  Was  then  that  which  is  good

sabbaths,  to  be  a  sign  between  me  and

the  Lord  that  sanctify  them. 

PSALM  xix:8  dThe  statutes  of  the 
Lord     are     right,  rejoicing  the  heart:

good;  that  sin  by  the  commandment 
might  become  exceeding  sinful.

spiritual:  but  I  am  carnal,  esold  under 
sin. 

15  For  that  which  I  do,  fl  allow 
not:  for  what  I  would,  that  do  I  not; 
but  what  I  hate,  that  do  I. 

16  If  then  I  do  that  which  I  would 
not,  I  consent  unto  the  law  that  it  is 
good. 

17  Now  then  it  is  no  more  I  that 
do  it,  but  sin  that  dwelleth  in  me. 

18  For  I  know  that  gin  me  (that 
is,  in  my  flesh,)  dwelleth  no  good 
thing:  for  to  will  is  present  with  me; 
but  how  to  perform  that  which  is 
good  I  find  not. 

19  For  the  good  that  I  would,  I  do 
not:  but  the  evil  which  I  would  not, 
that  I  do. 

20  Now  if  I  do  that  I  would  not,  it 

the  commandment  of  the  Lord  is  pure,

Ahab,  which  did  sell  himself  to  work 
wickedness  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
whom  Jezebel  his  wife  stirred  up.

in  Christ  Jesus  hath  made  me  free 
from  the  law  of  sin  and  death.

in  that  it  was  weak  through  the  flesh, 
God  sending  bhis  own  Son  in  the  like-

4  That  the  righteousness  of  the  law 
might  be  fulfilled  in  us,  who  walk  not 
after  the  flesh,  but  after  the  Spirit.

do  mind  the  things  of  the  flesh;  but 
they  that  are  after  the  Spirit,  the 
things  of  the  Spirit.

death;  but  eto  be  spiritually  minded  is

This  is  the  word  of  the  Lord  unto

HOSE  A  xiii:14  hi  will  ransom 
them  from  the  power  of  the  grave;  I

I  will  be  thy  destruction:   repentance

Spirit  of  God,  they  are  the  sons  of  God.

spirit  of  bondage  again  to  fear;  but  ye 
have  received  the  Spirit  of  adoption, 
whereby  Jwe  cry,  Abba,  Father. 

16  The  Spirit  itself  beareth  wit- 
ness with  our  spirit,  that  we  are  the 
children  of  God: 

17  And  if  children,  then  heirs; 
heirs  of  God,  and  joint  heirs  with 
Christ;  if  so  be  that  we  suffer  with 
him,  that  we  may  be  also  glorified  to- 
gether. 

18  For  I  reckon  that  the  sufferings 
of  this  present  time  are  not  worthy  to 
be  compared  with  kthe  glory  which 
shall  be  revealed  in  us. 

19  For  the  earnest  expectation  of 
the  creature  waiteth  for  the  manifes- 
tation of  the  sons  of  God. 

20  For  ithe  creature  was  made  sub- 
ject to  vanity,  not  willingly,  but  by 
reason  of  him  who  hath  subjected  the 
same  in  hope; 

21  Because  the  creature  itself  also 
shall  be  delivered  from  the  bondage  of 

shall  be  hid  from  mine  eyes.

sinneth,  it  shall  die.  The  son  shall 
not  bear  the  iniquity  of  the  father, 
neither  shall  the  father  bear  the  ini- 
quity of  the  son:  the  righteousness  of 
the  righteous  shall  be  upon  him,  and 
the  wickedness  of  the  wicked  shall  be 
upon  him.

26  *  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
in  the  place  where  it  was  said  unto 
them,  Ye  are  not  my  people;  there 
shall  they  be  called  the  children  of  the 
living  God. 

27  Isaiah  also  crieth  concerning  Is- 
rael, "  Though  the  number  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  shall  be  ag  the  sand  of 
the  sea,  a  remnant  shall  be  saved: 

28  For  hef  will  finish  the  work,  and 
cut  it  short  in  righteousness:  ^be- 
cause a  short  work  will  the*  Lord 
make  upon  the  earth. 

29  And  as  Isaiah,  said  before,  ^  Ex- 
cept the  Lord  of  Sabaoth  had  left  us 
a  seed,  ^  we  had  been  as  Sodoma,  and 
been  made  like  unto  Gomorrah. 

30  What  shall  we  say  then?  That 
the  Gentiles,  which  followed  not  after 
righteousness,  have  attained  to  right- 
eousness, even  the  righteousness 
which  is  of  faith. 

31  But  Israel,  which  followed  after 

mercy;  and  I  will  say  to  them  which 
were  not  my  people.  Thou  art  my  peo- 
ple; and  they  shall  say.  Thou  art  my 
God. 

HOSEA  i:10  «  Yet  the  number  of 
the  children  of  Israel  shall  be  as  the 
sand  of  the  sea,  which  cannot  be 
measured  nor  numbered;  and  it  shall 
come  to  pass,  that  in  the  place  where 
it  was  said  unto  them.  Ye  are  not  my 
people,  there  it  shall  be  said  unto 
them,  Ye  are  the  sons  of  the  living

ISAIAH  x:21  "The  remnant  shall

nnto  the  mighty  God. 

22  For  though  thy  people  Israel  be

decreed  shall  overflow  with  righteous- 
ness. 

-  23  For  the  Lord  God  of  hosts  shall 
make  a  consumption,  even  determined. 
In  the  midst  of  all  the  land. 

ISAIAH  xxviii:22  ^  Now  therefore 
be  ye  not  mockers,  lest  your  bands  be 
made  strong:  for  I  have  heard  from

tained to  the  law  of  righteousness. 

32  Wherefore?  Because  they  sought 
it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it  were  by  the 
works  of  the  law.  For  they  stumbled 
at  that  stumblingstone; 

33  As  it  is  written,  ^  Behold,  I  lay

prayer  to  God  for  Israel  is,  that  they 
might  be  saved. 

2  For  I  bear  them  record  that  they 
have  a  zeal  of  God,  but  not  according 
to  knowledge. 

3  For  they,  being  ignorant  of  God's 
righteousness,  and  going  about  to  es- 
tablish their  own  righteousness,  have 
not  submitted  themselves  unto  the 
righteousness  of  God.

glory  of  kingdoms,  the  beauty  of  the 
Chaldees'  excellency,  shall  be  as  when 
God  overthrew  Sodom  and  Gomorrah. 

JEREMIAH  1:40  As  God  over- 
threw Sodom  and  Gomorrah  and  the 
neighbour  cities  thereof,  saith  the 
Lord;  so  shall  no  man  abide  there,

his  people?  God  forbid.  For  I  also 
am  an  Israelite,  of  the  seed  of  Abra- 
ham, of  the  tribe  of  Benjamin. 

2  God  hath  not  cast  away  his  peo- 
ple which  he  foreknew.  Wot  ye  not 
what  the  Scriptures  saith  of  Elijah? 
how  he  maketh  intercession  to  God 
against  Israel,  saying, 

3  ••  Lord,  they  have  killed  thy 
prophets,  and  digged  down  thine  al- 
tars; and  I  am  left  alone,  and  they 
seek  my  life. 

4  But  what  saith  the  answer  of 
God  unto  him?  '  I  have  reserved  to 
myself  seven  thousand  men,  who 
have     not    bowed    the    knee    to    the 

name. 

ISAIAH  lxv:2  "I  have  spread  out

I.  SAMUEL  »ii:22  Tor  the  Lord

I  have  been  very  jealous  for  the  Lord

thrown  down  thine  altars,  and  slain 
thy  prophets  with  the  sword;  and  I, 
even  I  only,  am  left;  and  they  seek 
my  life  to  take  it  away. 

14  And  he  said,  I  have  been  very

thine  altars,  and  slain  thy  prophets 
with  the  sword;  and  I,  even  I  only, 
am  left;  and  they  seek  my  life,  to  take 
it  away. 

I.  KINGS  xix:18  'Yet  I  have  left 
me  seven  thousand  in  Israel,  all  the 
knees  which  have  not  bowed  unto 
Baal,  and  every  mouth  which  have  not 
kissed  him. 

DEUTERONOMY  ix:4  "  Speak  not

then  is  it  no  more  grace:  otherwise 
work  is  no  more  work. 

7  What  then?  Israel  hath  not 
obtained  that  which  he  seeketh  for; 
but  the  election  hath  obtained  it,  and 
the  rest  were  blinded

drive   them   out   from   before   thee.

perform  the  word  which  the  Lord

8  For  whether  we  live,  we  live 
unto  the  Lord;  and  whether  we  die, 
we  die  unto  the  Lord:  whether  we 
live  therefore,  or  die,  we  are  the 
Lord's. 

9  For  to  this  end  Christ  '  both, 
died,  and  rose,  and  revived,  that  he 
might  be  "■  Lord  both  of  the  dead 
and  living. 

10  But  why  dost  thou  judge  thy 
brother?  or  why  dost  thou  set  at 
nought  thy  brother?  for  we  shall  all 
stand  before  the  judgment  seat  of 
Christ. 

11  For  it  is  written,  °  As  I  live, 
saith  the  Lord,  every  knee  shall  bow 
to  me,  and  every  tongue  shall  confess 
to  God. 

12  So  then  every  one  of  us  shall 
give  account  of  himself  to  God. 

13  Let  us  not  therefore  judge  one- 
another  any  more:  but  judge  this 
rather,  that  no  man  put  a  stumbling- 
block  or  an  occasion  to  fall  in  his 
brother's  way. 

14  I  know,  and  am  persuaded  by 
the  Lord  Jesus,  that  there  is  nothing 
unclean  of  itself:  but  to  him  that  es- 
teemeth any  thing  to  be  unclean,  to 
him  it  is  unclean. 

15  But  if  thy  brother  be  grieved 
with  thy  meat,  now  walkest  thou  not 

ISAIAH  liii:9  '  [Christ]  made  his 
grave  with  the  wicked,  and  with  the 
rich  in  his  death;  because  he  had 
done  no  violence,  neither  was  any  de-

11  He  shall  see  of  the  travail  of 
his  soul,  and  shall  be  satisfied:  by 
his  knowledge  shall  my  righteous 
servant  justify  many;  for  he  shall

5  Now  the  God  of  patience  and

Father   of   our   Lord   Jesus   Christ. 

7  Wherefore  receive  ye  one  anoth- 
er, as  Christ  also  received  us,  to  the 
glory  of  God.

a  minister  of  the  circumcision  for  the 
truth  of  God,  ''  to  confirm  the  prom- 
ises made  unto  the  fathers:

blessed  in  him:  all  nations  shall  call 
him  blessed.

Gentiles  have  been  made  partakers  of

things.

15  Lest  any  should  say  that  I  had 
baptized  in  mine  own  name. 

10  And  I  baptized  also  the  house- 
hold of  Stephanas:  besides,  I  know 
not  whether  I  baptized  any  other. 

17  For  Christ  sent  me  not  to  bap- 
tize, but  to  preach  the  gospel:  not 
with  wisdom  of  words,  lest  the  cross 
of  Christ  should  be  made  of  none  ef- 
fect. 

18  For  the  preaching  of  the  cross 
is  to  them  that  perish,  foolishness;

CHAPTER  II. 


Paul's  preachini,'  wius  in  the  demonstration  of

know  the  Spirit.  14  The  nuturiil  man  does  not 
receive  the  ihintjs  of  the  Spirit. 

1  And  I,  brethren,  when  I  came  to 
you,  came  not  with  excellency  of 
speech  or  of  wisdom,  declaring  unto 
you  the  testimony  of  God. 

2  For  I  determined  not  to  know 
any  thing  among  you,  save  Jesus 
Christ,  and  him  crucified. 

3  And  I  was  with  you  in  weakness, 
and  in  fear,  and  in  much  trembling. 

4  And  my  speech  and  my  preach- 
ing was  not  with  enticing  words  of 
man's  wisdom,  but  in  ''  demonstration 
of  the  Spirit  and  of  power: 

5  That  your  faith  should  not  stand 
in  the  wisdom  of  men,  but  in  the 
power  of  God. 

6  Howbeit  we  speak  wisdom  among 

Lord,  Let  not  the  wise  man  glory  in 
his  wisdom,  neither  let  the  mighty 
man  glory  in  his  might,  let  not  the 
rich  man  glorj'  in  his  riches: 

24  But  let  him  that  glorieth  glory 
in  this,  that  he  understandeth  and 
knoweth  me,  that  I  am  the  Lord 
which  exercise  lovingkindness,  judg- 
ment, and  righteousness,  in  the  earth: 
for  in  these  things  I  delight,  saith  the 
Lord. 

PSALM  li:ll  ^  Cast  me  not  away 
from  thy  presence;  and  take  not  thy 
Holy  Spirit  from  me. 

12  Restore  unto  me  the  joy  of  thy 
salvation;  and  uphold  me  with  thy 
free  Spirit. 

13  Then  will  I  teach  transgressors 
thy  ways;  and  sinners  shall  be  con- 
verted unto  thee. 

ISAIAH  xxxii:14  Because  the  pal- 
aces shall  be  forsaken;  the  multitude 
of  the  city  shall  be  left;  the  forts  and 
towers  shall  be  for  dens  for  ever,  a 
joy  of  wild  asses,  a  pasture  of  flocks. 

15  Until  the  Spirit  be  poured  upon 
us  from  on  high,  and  the  wilderness

field  be  counted  as  a  forest.

and  his  glorj^  from  the  rising  of  the 
sun.    When  the  enemy  shall  come  in 


them  that  are  perfect:  yet  not  the 
wisdom  of  this  world,  nor  of  the 
princes  of  this  world,  that  come  to 
nought: 

7  But  we  speak  the  wisdom  of  God 
in  a  mystery,  even  the  hidden  wis- 
dom, which  God  ordained  before  the 
world  unto  our  glory; 

S  Which  none  of  the  princes  of 
this  world  knew:  for  had  they  known 
it,  they  would  not  have  crucified  the 
Lord  of  glory. 

9  But  as  it  is  written,  ''  Eye  hath 
not  seen,  nor  ear  heard,  neither  have 
entered  into  the  heart  of  man,  the 
things  which  God  hath  prepared  for 
them  that  love  him. 

10  But  God  hath  revealed  them  un- 
to us  by  his  Spirit:  for  the  Spirit 
searcheth  all  things,  yea,  the  deep 
things  of  God. 

like  a  flood,  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
shall  lift  up  a  standard  against  him. 

20  And  the  Redeemer  shall  come 
to  Zion,  and  unto  them  that  turn  from 
transgression  in  Jacob,  saith  the 
Lord. 

21  As  for  me,  this  is  my  covenant 
with  them,  saith  the  Lord;  my  Spirit 
that  is  upon  thee,  and  my  words 
which  I  have  put  in  thy  mouth,  shall 
not  depart  out  of  thy  mouth,  nor  out 
of  the  mouth  of  thy  seed,  nor  out  of 
the  mouth  of  thy  seed's  seed,  saith 
the  Lord,  from  henceforth  and  for 
ever. 

JOEL  ii:28  And  it  shall  come  to 
pass  afterward,  that  I  will  pour  out 
my  Spirit  upon  all  flesh;  and  your  sons 
and  your  daughters  shall  prophesy, 
your  old  men  shall  dream  dreams, 
your  young  men  shall  see  visions:

Zerubbabel,  saying,  Not  by  might,  nor 
by  power,  but  by  my  Spirit,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts.

ginning of  the  world  men  have  not 
heard,  nor  perceived  by  the  ear,

9  He  rebuked  the  Red  Sea  also,  and 
it  was  dried  up:  so  he  led  them

the  greatness  of  his  might,  for  that  he

ISAIAH  1:2  Wherefore,  when  I 
came,  was  there  no  man?  when  I

unjust,  and  not  before  the  saints?

DEUTERONOMY  xiii:  5  '  And  that 
prophet,  or  that  dreamer  of  dreams, 
shall  be  put  to  death;  because  he  hath 
spoken  to  turn  you  away  from  the 
Lord  your  God,  which  brought  you  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  redeemed 
you  out  of  the  house  of  bondage,  to 
thrust  thee  out  of  the  way  which  the 
Lord  thy  God  commanded  thee  to 
walk  in.  So  shalt  thou  put  the  evil 
away  from  the  midst  of  thee. 

DEUTERONOMY  xvii:6  At  the 
mouth  of  two  witnesses,  or  three  wit- 
nesses, shall  he  that  is  worthy  of 
death  be  put  to  death;  but  at  the 
mouth  of  one  witness  he  shall  not  be 
put  to  death. 

7  The  hands  of  the  witnesses  shall 
be  first  upon  him  to  put  him  to  death, 
and  afterward  the  hands  of  all  the 
people.  So  thou  shalt  put  the  evil 
away  from  among  you. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxi:20  And  they 
shall  say  unto  the  elders  of  his  city. 
This  our  son  is  stubborn  and  rebell- 
ious, he  will  not  obey  our  voice;  he  is 
a  glutton,  and  a  drunkard. 

21  And  all  the  men  of  his  city  shall 
stone  him  with  stones,  that  he  die:  so 
shalt  thou  put  evil  away  from  among 
you;  and  all  Israel  shall  hear,  and  fear. 

DET'TERONOMY  xxii:20  But  if 
this  thing  be  true,  and  the  tokens  of 
virginity  be  not  found  for  the  damsel: 

21    Then     they    shall  bring  out  the 


angels?   how   much    more   things   that 
pertain  to  this  life? 

4  If  then  ye  have  judgments  of 
things  pertaining  to  this  life,  set  them 
to  judge  who  are  least  esteemed  in  the 
church. 

5  I  speak  to  your  shame.  Is  it  so, 
that  there  is  not  a  wise  man  among 
you?  no,  not  one  that  shall  be  able  to 
judge  between  his  brethren? 

6  But  brother  goeth  to  law  with 
brother,  and  that  before  the  unbeliev- 
ers. 

7  Now  therefore  there  is  utterly  a 
fault  among  you,  because  ye  go  to 
law  one  with  another.  "  Why  do  ye 
not  rather  take  wrong?  Why  do  ye 
not  rather  suffer  yourselves  to  be  de- 
damsel  to  the  door  of  her  father's 
house,  and  the  men  of  her  city  shall 
stone  her  with  stones  that  she  die; 
because  she  hath  wrought  folly  in  Is- 
rael, to  play  the  whore  in  her  father's 
house:  so  shalt  thou  put  evil  away 
from  among  you. 

22  If  a  man  be  found  lying  with  a 
woman  married  to  a  husband,  then 
they  shall  both  of  them  die,  both  the 
man  that  lay  with  the  woman,  and  the 
woman:  so  shalt  thou  put  away  evil 
fom  Israel. 

23  If  a  damsel  that  is  a  virgin  be 
betrothed  unto  a  husband,  and  a  man 
find  her  in  the  city,  and  lie  with  her; 

24  Then  ye  shall  bring  them  both 
out  unto  the  gate  of  that  city,  and  ye 
shall  stone  them  with  stones  that  they 
die;  the  damsel,  because  she  cried  not, 
being  in  the  city;  and  the  man,  because 
he  hath  humbled  his  neighbour's  wife: 
so  shalt  thou  put  away  evil  from 
among  you.

testified  falsely  against  his  brother;

EXODUS  xix:  14  -^  And  Moses  went 
down  from  the  mount  unto  the  people, 
and  sanctified  the  people;  and  they 
washed  their  clothes. 

15  And  he  said  unto  the  people.  Be 
ready  against  the  third  day:  come  not 
at  your  wives. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  third 
day  in  the  morning,  that  there  were 
thunders  and  lightnings,  and  a  thick 
cloud  upon  the  mount,  and  the  voice 
of  the  trumpet  exceeding  loud:  so  that 
all  the  people  that  was  in  the  camp 
trembled. 

17  And  Moses  brought  forth  the 
people  out  of  the  camp  to  meet  with 
God;  and  they  stood  at  the  nether 
part  of  the  mount. 

18  And  mount  Sinai  was  altogether 
on  a  smoke,  because  the  Lord  de- 
scended upon  it  in  fire:  and  the  smoke 
thereof  ascended  as  the  smoke  of  a 
furnace,  and  the  whole  mount  quaked 
greatly. 

19  And  when  the  voice  of  the  trum- 
pet sounded  long,  and  waxed  louder 
and  louder,  Moses  spake,  and  God  ans- 
wered him  by  a  voice. 


t>  But  I  speak  this  by  permission, 
and  not  of  commandment. 

7  For  I  would  that  all  men  were 
even  as  I  myself.  But  every  man  hath 
his  proper  gift  of  God,  one  after  this 
manner,  and  another  after  that. 

8  I  say  therefore  to  the  unmarried 
and  widows.  It  is  good  for  them  if 
they  abide  even  as  I. 

9  But  if  they  cannot  contain,  let 
them  marry,  for  it  is  better  to  marry 
than  to  burn.

men  have  kept  themselves  at  least 
from  women.

and  said  unto  him.  Of  a  truth  women 
have  been  kept  from  us  about  these 
three  days,  since  I  came  out,  and  the

believeth  not,  and  she  be  pleased  to 
dwell  with  him,  let  him  not  put  her

13  And  the  woman  which  hath  a

not  leave  him.

band: else  'were  your  children  un-

15  But  if  the  unbelieving  depart, 
let  him  depart.  A  brother  or  a  sister

6  And  when  ye  did  eat,  and  when 
ye  did  drink,  did  not  ye  eat  for  your-

7  Should  ye  not  hear  the  words 
which  the  Lord  hath  cried  by  the  for- 
mer prophets,  when  Jerusalem  was  in- 
habited and  in  prosperity,  and  the 
cities  thereof  round  about  her,  when 
men  inhabited  the  south  and  the 
plain?

saying.  Execute  true  judgment,  and 
shew  mercy  and  compassions  every 
man  to  his  brother: 

10  And  oppress  not  the  widow,  nor 
the  fatherless,  the  stranger,  nor  the 
poor;  and  let  none  of  you  imagine  evil 
against  his  brother  in  your  heart. 

11  But  they  refused  to  hearken,  and 
-pulled  away  the  shoulder,  and  stopped 
their  ears,  that  they  should  not  hear. 

12  Yea,  they  made  their  hearts  as 
an  adamant  stone,  lest  they  should 
hear  the  law,  and  the  words  which  the 
Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  in  his  Spirit 
by  the  former  prophets:  therefore

thou  shalt  save  thy  wife?

every  man,  as  the  Lord  hath  called 
every  one,  so  let  him  walk.  And  so 
ordain  I  in  all  churches.

cised? let  him  not  become  uncircum- 
cised.  Is  any  called  in  uncircum- 
cision?  let  him  not  be  circumcised.

uncircumcision  is  nothing,  but  the 
keeping  of  the  commandments  of  God.

24  Brethren,  let  every  man,  where- 
in he  is  called,  therein  abide  with  God. 

25  Now  concerning  virgins  I  have 
no  commandment  of  the  Lord:  yet  I 
give  my  judgment,  as  one  that  hath  ob- 
tained mercy  of  the  Lord  to  be  faith- 
ful. 

26  I  suppose  therefore  that  this  is 
good  for  the  present  distress,  I  say, 
that  it  is  good  for  a  man  so  to  be. 

27  Art  thou  bound  unto  a  wife? 
seek  not  to  be  loosed.  Art  thou  loosed 
from  a  wife?  seek  not  a  wife.

hast  not  sinned;  and  if  a  virgin  marry, 
she  hath  not  sinned.  Nevertheless 
such  shall  have  trouble  in  the  flesh: 
but  I  spare  you. 

29  But  this  I  say,  brethren,  the 
time  is  short:  it  remaineth,  that  both 
they  that  have  wives  be  as  though 
they  had  none; 

Lord  thy  God  will  circumcise  thine 
heart,  and  the  heart  of  thy  seed,  to 
love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thine 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  that  thou 
mayest  live.

35  And  this  I  speak  for  your  own 
profit;  not  that  I  may  cast  a  snare  up- 

ple  which  were  at  Jerusalem,  to  pro- 
claim liberty  unto  them; 

9  That  every  man  should  let  his 
manservant,  and  every  man  his  maid- 
servant, being  a  Hebrew  or  a  Hebrew- 
ess,  go  free;  that  none  should  serve 
himself  of  them,  to  wit,  of  a  Jew  his 
brother. 

10  Now  when  all  the  princes,  and 
all  the  people,  which  had  entered  into 
the  covenant,  heard  that  every  one 
should  let  his  manservant,  and  every 
one  his  maidservant,  go  free,  that 
none  should  serve  themselves  of  them 
any  more;  then  they  obeyed,  and  let 
them  go. 

11  But  afterwards  they  turned,  and 
caused  the  servants  and  the  hand- 
maids, whom  they  had  let  go  free,  to 
return,  and  brought  them  into  subjec- 
tion for  servants  and  for  handmaids. 

PSALM  xxxix:6  ^  Surely  every 
man  walketh  in  a  vain  shew:  surely 
they  are  disquieted  in  vain:  he  heap- 
eth  up  riches,  and  knoweth  not  who 
shall  gather  them.

CHAPTER  VIIL 

Abstain  from  meat  offered  to  idols.  9  Chris- 
tian liberty  does  not  allow  us  to  cause  our 
brethren  to  do  wrong. 

1  Now  as  touching  things  offered 
unto  idols,  we  know  that  we  all  have 
knowledge.  Knowledge  puffeth  up, 
but  love  edifleth. 

2  And  if  any  man  think  that  he 
knoweth  any  thing,  he  knoweth  noth- 
ing yet  as  he  ought  to  know. 

3  But  if  any  man  love  God,  '  the 
same  is  known  of  him. 

4  As  concerning  therefore  the  eat- 
ing of  those  things  that  are  offered  in 
sacrifice  unto  idols,  we  know  that  ™  an 
idol  is  nothing  in  the  world,  and  that 
"  there  is  none  other  God  but  one. 

5  For  though  there  be  that  are 
°  called  gods,  whether  in  heaven  or  in 

rael:    The  Lord  our  God  is  one  Lord: 

5  And  thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy 
God  with  all  thine  heart,  and  with  all 
thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  might. 

ISAIAH  xliv:8  Fear  ye  not,  neith- 
er be  afraid:  have  not  I  told  thee  from 
that  time,  and  have  declared  it?  ye  are 
even  my  witnesses.  Is  there  a  God  be- 
sides me?  yea,  there  is  no  God;  I  know 
not  any. 

PSALM  xcvi:5  "For  all  the  gods 
of  the  nations  are  idols:  but  the  Lord 
made  the  heavens. 

PSALM  cvi:36  And  they  served 
their  idols:  which  were  a  snare  unto 
them. 

37  Yea,  they  sacrificed  their  sons 
and  their  daughters  unto  devils. 

38  And  shed  innocent  blood,  even 
the  blood  of  their  sons  and  of  their 
daughters,  whom  they  sacrificed  unto 
the  idols  of  Canaan:  and  the  land  was 
polluted  with  blood. 

ISAIAH  ii:20  In  that  day  a  man 
shall  cast  his  idols  of  silver,  and  his 
idols  of  gold,  which  they  made  each 
one  for  himself  to  worship,  to  the 
moles  and  to  the  bats:

and  their  conscience  being  weak  is  de-

nesses; they  see  not,  nor  know;  that 
they  may  be  ashamed.

ten a  graven  image  that  Is  profitable 
for  nothing? 

11  Behold,  all  his  fellows  shall  be 
ashamed;  and  the  workmen,  they  are 
of  men:  let  them  all  be  gathered  to- 
gether, let  them  stand  up;  yet  they 
shall  fear,  and  they  shall  be  ashamed 
together. 

12  The  smith  with  the  tongs  both 
"worketh  in  the  coals,  and  fashioneth 
it  with  hammers,  and  worketh  it  with 
the  strength  of  his  arms:  yea,  he  is 
hungry,  and  his  strength  faileth:  he 
drinketh  no  water,  and  is  faint. 

13  The  carpenter  stretcheth  out  his 
rule;  he  marketh  it  out  with  a  line; 
he  fitteth  it  with  planes,  and  he  mark- 
eth it  out  with  the  compass,  and  mak- 
eth  it  after  the  figure  of  a  man,  ac- 
cording to  the  beauty  of  a  man;  that 
it  may  remain  in  the  house. 

14  He  heweth  him  down  cedars, 
and  taketh  the  cypress  and  the  oak, 
which  he  strengtheneth  for  himself 
among  the  trees  of  the  forest:  he 
planteth  an  ash,  and  the  rain  doth 
nourish  it. 

15  Then  shall  it  be  for  a  man  to 
burn:  for  he  will  take  thereof,  and 
warm  himself:  yea.  he  kindleth  it. 
and  baketh  bread:  yea.  he  niaketh  a 
god,  and  worshippeth  it;  he  maketh  it 
a    graven    image,    and    faileth    down 


the  worse. 

9  But  take  heed  lest  by  any  means 
this  liberty  of  yours  become  a  stum- 
blingblock  to  them  that  are  weak. 

10  For  if  any  man  see  thee  which 
hast  knowledge  sit  at  meat  in  ■■  the 
idol's  temple,  shall  not  the  conscience 
of  him  which  is  weak  be  emboldened 
to  eat  those  things  which  are  offered 
to  idols; 

11  And  through  thy  knowledge 
shall  the  weak  brother  perish,  for 
whom  Christ  died?

brethren,  and  wound  their  weak  con- 
science, ye  sin  against  Christ.

am  warm,  I  have  seen  the  fire:

eth a  god,  even  his  graven  image:  he 
faileth  down  unto  it,  and  worshippeth 
it,  and  prayeth  unto  it,  and  saith.  De-

to  be  an  Apostle. 


13    Wherefore,     if    meat    make  my

while  the  world  standeth,  lest  I  make 

my  brother  to  offend. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Paul's  liberty.  7  The  minister's  support.  16 
Paul  willingly  complied  with  his  call  to  the 
ministry.  22  He  was  inoffensive  to  all  classes 
in  matters  indifferent. 

1  Am  I  not  an  apostle?  am  I  not 
free?  have  I  not  seen  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord?  are  not  ye  my  work  in  the 
Lord? 

2  If  I  be  not  an  apostle  unto  others, 
yet  doubtless  I  am  to  you:  for  the  seal 
of  mine  apostleship  are  ye  in  the 
Lord. 

3  Mine  answer  to  them  that  do  ex- 
amine me  is  this: 

4  Have  we  not  power  to  eat  and  to 
drink? 

5  Have  we  not  power  to  lead  about 
a  sister,  a  wife,  as  well  as  other  apos- 
tles, and  as  the  brethren  of  the  Lord, 
and  Cephas? 

6  Or  I  only  and  "Barnabas,  have  not 

and  brought  peace  offerings;  and  the 
people  sat  down  to  eat  and  to  drink, 
and  rose  up  to  play. 

LEVITICUS  xvii:7  ■•  And  they  shall 
no  more  offer  their  sacrifices  unto  dev- 
ils, after  whom  they  have  gone  a 
whoring.  This  shall  be  a  statute  for 
ever  unto  them  throughout  their  gene- 
rations. 

II.  KINGS  x:lS  And  Jehu  gathered 
all  the  people  together,  aqd  said  unto 
them,  Ahab  served  Baal  a  little;  but 
Jehu  shall  serve  him  much. 

20  And  Jehu  said.  Proclaim  a  sol- 
emn assembly  for  Baal.  And  they  pro- 
claimed it. 

24  And  when  they  went  in  to  offer 
sacrifices  and  burnt  offerings,  Jehu 
appointed  fourscore  men  without,  and 
said,  If  any  of  the  men  whom  I  have 
brought  into  your  hands  escape,  he 
that  letteth  him  go,  his  life  shall  be 
for  the  life  of  him. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as 
he  had  made  an  end  of  offering  the 
burnt  offering,  that  Jehu  said  to  the 
guard  and  to  the  captains,  Go  in,  and 


we  power  to  forbear  working? 

7  Who  goeth  a  warfare  any  time  at 
his  own  charges?  who  "  planteth  a 
vineyard,  and  eateth  not  of  the  fruit 
thereof?  or  who  feedeth  a  flock,  and 
eateth  not  of  the  milk  of  the  flock? 

8  Say  I  these  things  as  a  man?  or 
saith  not  the  law  the  same  also? 

9  For  it  is  written  in  the  law  of 
Moses,  *>  Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the 
mouth  of  the  ox  that  treadeth  out  the 
corn.     Doth  God  take  care  for  oxen? 

10  Or  saith  he  it  altogether  for  our 
sakes?  For  our  sakes,  no  doubt,  this 
is  written:  that  '  he  that  ploweth 
should  plow  in  hope;  and  that  he 
that  thresheth  in  hope  should  be  par- 
taker of  his  hope. 

11  If  we  have  sown  unto  you  spir- 
itual things,  is  it  a  great  thing  if  we 
shall  reap  your  carnal  things? 

12  If  others  be  partakers  of  this 
power  over  you,  are  not  we  rather? 
Nevertheless  we  have  not  used  this 
power;     but    suffer  all  things,  lest  we 

slay  them;  let  none  come  forth.  And 
they  smote  them  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword;  and  the  guard  and  the  cap- 
tains cast  them  out,  and  went  to  the 
city  of  the  house  of  Baal.

man  is  he  that  hath  planted  a  vine- 
yard, and  hath  not  yet  eaten  of  it?  let 
him  also  go  and  return  unto  his  house, 
lest  he  die  in  the  battle,  and  another 
man  eat  of  it.

26  For  his  God  doth  instruct  him  to 
discretion,  and  doth  teach  him. 

27  For  the  fitches  are  not  threshed 
with  a  threshing  instrument,  neither 
is  a  cart  wheel  turned  about  upon  the 
cummin;  but  the  fitches  are  beaten  out

ful, of  the  flour  of  the  meat  offering, 
and  of  the  oil  thereof,  and  all  the

tar for  a  sweet  savour,  even  the  me-

Aaron  and  his  sons  eat:  with  unleav- 
ened bread  shall  it  be  eaten  in  the  ho-

shall  he  sprinkle  round  about  upon  the 
altar.

thereof;  the  rump,  and  the  fat  that 
covereth  the  inwards.

that  is  on  them,  which  is  by  the  flanks, 
and  the  caul  that  is  above  the  liver, 
with  the  kidneys,  it  shall  he  take 
away: 


14  Even  so  hath  the  Lord  ordained 
that  they  which  preach  the  gospel 
should  live  of  the  gospel.

upon  the  altar  for  an  offering  made  by 
fire  unto  the  Lord:  it  is  a  trespass  of-

6  Every  male  among  the  priests 
shall  eat  thereof:  it  shall  be  eaten  in

shall  be  thine. 

15  Every  thing  that  openeth  the 
matrix  in  all  flesh,  which  they  bring 
unto  the  Lord,  whether  it  be  of  men  or 
beasts,  shall  be  thine:  nevertheless  the 
firstborn  of  man  shalt  thou  surely  re- 
deem, and  the  firstling  of  unclean 
beasts  shalt  thou  redeem. 

16  And  those  that  are  to  be  re- 
deemed from  a  month  old  shalt  thou 
redeem,  according  to  thine  estimation, 
for  the  money  of  five  shekels,  after  the 
shekel  of  the  sanctuary,  which  is  twen- 
ty gerahs. 

17  But  the  firstling  of  a  cow.  or  the 
firstling  of  a  sheep,  or  the  firstling  of 
a  goat,  thou  shalt  not  redeem;  they 
are  holy:  thou  shalt  sprinkle  their 
blood  upon  the  altar,  and  shalt  burn 
their  fat  for  an  offering  made  by  fire, 
for  a  sweet  savour  unto  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  flesh  of  them  shall  be 
thine,  as  the  wave  breast  and  the  right 
shoulder  are  thine. 

19  All  the  heave  offerings  of  the 
holy  things,  which  the  children  of  Is- 
rael offer  unto  the  Lord,  have  I  given 
thee,  and  thy  sons  and  thy  daughters 
with  thee,  by  a  statute  for  ever:  it  is 
a  covenant  of  salt  for  ever  before  the 
Lord  unto  thee  and  to  thy  seed  with 
thee. 

20  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Aaron, 
Thou  shalt  have  no  inheritance  in 
their  land,  neither  shalt  thou  have  any 
part  among  them:  I  am  thy  part  and 
thine  inheritance  among  the  children 
of  Israel. 

21  ^  And,  behold,  I  have  given  the 
children  of  Levi  all  the  tenth  in  Israel 
for  an  inheritance,  for  their  service 
which  they  serve,  even  the  service  of 
the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

DEUTERONOMY  x:8  At  that  time 
the  Lord  separated  the  tribe  of  Levi, 
to  bear  the  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  to  stand  before  the  Lord  to 
minister  unto  him,  and  to  bless  in  his 
name,  unto  this  day. 

9  Wherefore  Levi  hath  no  part  nor 
inheritance  with  his  brethren:  the 
Lord  is  his  inheritance,  according  as 
the  Lord  thy  God  promised  him. 

DEUTERONOMY  XVIII:  1  The 
priests  the  Levites,  and  all  the  tribe 


16  For  though  I  preach  the  gospel, 
I  have  nothing  to  glory  of:  for  neces- 
sity is  laid  upon  me;  yea,  '  woe  is  un- 

of  Levi,  shall  have  no  part  nor  inher- 
itance with  Israel:  they  shall  eat  the 
offerings  of  the  Lord  made  by  fire, 
and  his  inheritance. 

2  Therefore  shall  they  have  no  in- 
heritance among  their  brethren:  the 
Lord  is  their  inheritance,  as  he  hath 
said  unto  them. 

3  And  this  shall  be  the  priest's  due 
from  the  people,  from  them  that  offer 
a  sacrifice,  whether  it  be  ox  or  sheep; 
and  they  shall  give  unto  the  priest 
the  shoulder,  and  the  two  cheeks,  and 
the  maw. 

4  The  firstfruit  also  of  thy  corn, 
of  thy  wine,  and  of  thine  oil,  and  the 
first  of  the  fieece  of  thy  sheep,  shalt 
thou  give  him. 

5  For  the  Lord  thy  God  hath  chos- 
en him  out  of  all  thy  tribes,  to  stand 
to  minister  in  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
him  and  his  sons  for  ever. 

EZEKIEL  iii:17  'Son  of  man.  I 
have  made  thee  a  watchman  unto  the 
house  of  Israel:  therefore  hear  the 
word  at  my  mouth,  and  give  them 
warning  from  me. 

18  When  I  say  unto  the  wicked, 
Thou  shalt  surely  die;  and  thou  giv- 
est  him  not  warning,  nor  speakest  to 
warn  the  wicked  from  his  wicked 
way,  to  save  his  life;  the  same  wicked 
man  shall  die  in  his  iniquity:  but  his 
blood  shall  I  require  at  thine  hand. 

19  Yet  if  thou  warn  the  wicked, 
and  he  turn  not  from  his  wickedness, 
nor  from  his  wicked  way,  he  shall  die 
in  his  iniquity;  but  thou  hast  deliv- 
ered thy  soul. 

20  Again,  when  a  righteous  man 
doth  turn  from  his  righteousness,  and 
commit  iniquity,  and  I  lay  a  stum- 
bling block  before  him,  he  shall  die: 
because  thou  hast  not  given  him 
warning,  he  shall  die  in  his  sin,  and 
his  righteousness  which  he  hath  done 
shall  not  be  remembered;  but  his 
blood  will  I  require  at  thine  hand. 

21  Nevertheless,  if  thou  warn  the 
righteous  man,  that  the  righteous  sin 
not,  and  he  doth  not  sin,  he  shall 
surely  live,  because  he  is  warned;  al- 
so thou  hast  delivered  thy  soul.

I  have  a  reward:  but  if  against  my

committed  unto  me. 

18  What  is  my  reward  then?  Ver- 
ily that,  when  I  preach  the  gospel,  I

ing, 

2  Son  of  man,  speak  to  the  chil- 
dren of  thy  people,  and  say  unto  them, 
When  I  bring  the  sword  upon  a  land, 
if  the  people  of  the  land  take  a  man 
of  their  coasts,  and  set  him  for  their 
watchman: 

3  If  when  he  seeth  the  sword  come 
upon  the  land,  he  blow  the  trumpet, 
and  warn  the  people; 

4  Then  whosoever  heareth  the 
sound  of  the  trumpet,  and  taketh  not 
warning;  if  the  sword  come,  and  take 
him  away,  his  blood  shall  be  upon  his 
own  head. 

5  He  heard  the  sound  of  the  trum- 
pet, and  took  not  warning;  his  blood 
shall  be  upon  him.  But  he  that  tak- 
eth  warning   shall   deliver   his   soul. 

6  But  if  the  watchman  see  the 
sword  come,  and  blow  not  the  trum- 
pet, and  the  people  be  not  warned;  if 
the  sword  come,  and  take  any  person 
from  among  them,  he  is  taken  away 
in  his  iniquity;  but  his  blood  will  I 
require  at  the  watchman's  hand. 

7  So  thou,  0  son  of  man,  I  have 
set  thee  a  watchman  unto  the  house 
of  Israel;  therefore  thou  shalt  hear 
the  word  at  my  mouth,  and  warn 
them  from  me. 

8  When  I  say  unto  the  wicked,  0 
"Wicked  man,  thou  shalt  surely  die;  if 
thou  dost  not  speak  to  warn  the 
wicked  from  his  way,  that  wicked  man 
shall  die  in  his  iniquity;  but  his  blood 
will  I  require  at  thine  hand. 

9  Nevertheless,  if  thou  warn  the 
wicked  of  his  way  to  turn  from  it;  if 
he  do  not  turn  from  his  way,  he  shall 


20  And  unto  the  Jews  I  became  as 
a  Jew,  that  I  might  gain  the  Jews; 
to  them  that  are  under  the  law,  as  un- 
der the  law,  that  I  might  gain  them 
that  are  under  the  law. 

21  To  them  that  are  without  law, 
as  without  law,  (being  not  without 
*•'  law  to  God,  but  under  the  law  to 
Christ,)  that  I  might  gain  them  that 
are  without  law. 

22  To  ''  the  weak  became  I  as  weak, 
that  I  might  gain  the  weak:  I  am 
made     all    things     to    all  men,  that  I 

die  in  his  iniquity;  but  thou  hast  de- 
livered thy  soul. 

10  Therefore,  O  thou  son  of  man, 
speak  unto  the  house  of  Israel;  Thus 
ye  speak,  saying.  If  our  transgressions 
and  our  sins  be  upon  us,  and  we  pine 
away  in  them,  how  should  we  then 
live? 

11  Say  unto  them.  As  I  live,  saith 
the  Lord  God,  I  have  no  pleasure  in 
the  death  of  the  wicked;  but  that  the 
wicked  turn  from  his  way  and  live: 
turn  ye,  turn  ye  from  your  evil  ways; 
for  why  will  ye  die,  0  house  of  Israel? 

12  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man,  say 
unto  the  children  of  thy  people,  The 
righteousness  of  the  righteous  shall 
not  deliver  him  in  the  day  of  his 
transgression:  as  for  the  wickedness 
of  the  wicked,  he  shall  not  fall  there- 
by in  the  day  that  he  turneth  from 
his  wickedness;  neither  shall  the 
righteous  be  able  to  live  for  his  right- 
eousness in  the  day  that  he  sinneth. 

PSALM  1:1  s  Blessed  is  the  man 
that  walketh  not  in  the  counsel  of  the 
ungodly,  nor  standeth  in  the  way  of 
sinners,  nor  sitteth  in  the  seat  of  the 
scornful. 

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of 
the  Lord;  and  in  his  law  doth  he 
meditate  day  and  night. 

PSALM  xix:7  The  law  of  the  Lord 
is  perfect,  converting  the  soul:  the 
testimony  of  the  Lord  is  sure,  making 
wise  the  simple.

EXODUS  xiii:21  "And  the  Lord 
went  before  them  by  day  in  a  pillar 
of  a  cloud,  to  lead  them  the  way;  and 
by  night  in  a  pillar  of  fire,  to  give 
them  light;    to  go  by  day   and  night. 

22  He  took  not  away  the  pillar  of 
the  cloud  by  day,  nor  the  pillar  of  fire 
by   night,   from   before   the   people. 

EXODUS  xl:34  Then  a  cloud  cov- 
ered the  tent  of  the  congregation,  and 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  taber- 
nacle. 

35  And  Moses  was  not  able  to  en- 
ter into  the  tent  of  the  congregation, 
because  the  cloud  abode  thereon,  and 
the  glory  of  the  Lord  filled  the  taber- 
nacle. 

36  And  when  the  cloud  was  taken 
up  from  over  the  tabernacle,  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  went  onward  in  all 
their  journeys: 

37  But  if  the  cloud  were  not  tak- 
en up,  then  they  journeyed  not  till 
the  day  that  it  was  taken  up. 

38  For  the  cloud  of  the  Lord  was 
upon  the  tabernacle  by  day,  and  fire 
was  on  it  by  night,  in  the  sight  of  all 
the  house  of  Israel,  throughout  all 
their  journeys. 

NUMBERS  ix:15  And  on  the  day 
that  the  tabernacle  was  reared  up  the 
cloud  covered  the  tabernacle,  namely, 
the  tent  of  the  testimony:  and  at  ev-

CHAPTER  X. 

Jewish  sacraments  are  types  of  ours.  21  The 
Lord's  table  is  not  for  devils.  28  On  indifferent 
things  we  should  yield  to  the  conscience  of  a- 
weak  brother. 

1  Moreover,  brethren,  I  would  not 
that  ye  should  be  ignorant,  how  that 
all  our  fathers  were  under  "  the  cloud, 

the  morning. 

16  So  it  was  alway:  the  cloud  cov- 
ered it  by  day,  and  the  appearance  of 
fire  by  night. 

17  And  when  the  cloud  was  taken 
up  from  the  tabernacle,  then  after 
that  the  children  of  Israel  journeyed: 
and  in  the  place  where  the  cloud 
abode,  there  the  children  of  Israel 
pitched  their  tents. 

18  At  the  commandment  of  the  Lord 
the  children  of  Israel  journeyed,  and 
at  the  commandment  of  the  Lord  they 
pitched:  as  long  as  the  cloud  abode 
upon  the  tabernacle  they  rested  in 
their  tents. 

19  And  when  the  cloud  tarried  long 
upon  the  tabernacle  many  days,  then 
the  children  of  Israel  kept  the  charge 
of  the  Lord,  and  journeyed  not. 

20  And  so  it  was,  when  the  cloud 
was  a  few  days  upon  the  tabernacle; 
according  to  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  they  abode  in  their  tents,  and 
according  to  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  they  journeyed. 

20  And  so  it  was,  when  the  cloud 
abode  from  even  unto  the  morning, 
and  that  the  cloud  was  taken  up  in 
the  morning,  then  they  journeyed: 
whether  it  was  by  day  or  by  night 
that  the  cloud  was  taken  up,  they 
journeyed.

or  a  month,  or  a  year,  that  the  cloud

journeyed:  they  kept  the  charge  of 
the  Lord,  at  the  commandment  of  the 
Lord  by  the  hand  of  Moses. 

NUMBERS  xiv:ll  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  How  long  will  this 
people  provoke  me?  and  how  long  will 
it  be  ere  they  believe  me,  for  all  the 
signs  which  I  have  shewed  among 
them? 

12  I  will  smite  them  with  the  pes- 
tilence, and  disinherit  them,  and  will 
make  of  thee  a  greater  nation  and 
mightier  than  they. 

13  And  Moses  said  unto  the  Lord, 
Then  the  Egyptians  shall  hear  it,  (for 
thou  broughtest  up  this  people  in  thy 
might  from  among  them;) 

14  And  they  will  tell  it  to  the  in- 
habitants of  this  land:  for  they  have 
heard  that  thou  Lord  art  among  this 
people,  that  thou  Lord  art  seen  face 
to  face,  and  that  thy  cloud  standeth 
over  them,  and  that  thou  goest  before 
them,  by  daytime  in  a  pillar  of  a  cloud, 
and  in  a  pillar  of  fire  by  night. 

15  Now  if  thou  Shalt  kill  all  this 
people  as  one  man,  then  the  nations 
which  have  heard  the  fame  of  thee 
will  speak,  saying, 

16  Because  the  Lord  was  not  able 
to  bring  this  people  into  the  land 
which  he  sware  unto  them,  therefore 
he  hath  slain  them  in  the  wilderness. 

DEUTERONOMY  i:31  And  in  the 
wilderness,  where  thou  hast  seen  how 
that  the  Lord  thy  God  bare  thee,  as 
a  man  doth  bear  his  son,  in  all  the 
way  that  ye  went,  until  ye  came  into 
this  place. 

32  Yet  in  this  thing  ye  did  not  be- 
lieve the  Lord  your  God. 

33  Who  went  in  the  way  before 
you,  to  search  you  out  a  place  to  pitch 
your  tents  in,  in  fire  by  night,  to  shew 
you  by  what  way  ye  should  go,  and  in 
a  cloud  by  day. 

34  And  the  Lord  heard  the  voice 
of  your  words,  and  was  wroth,  and 
sware,  saying, 

35  Surely  there  shall  not  one  of 
these  men  of  this  evil  generation  see 
that  good  land,  which  I  sware  to  give 
unto  your  fathers.

neh;    he  shall  see  it,  and  to  him  will

NEHEMIAH  ix:12  Moreover  thou 
leddest  them  in  the  day  by  a  cloudy 
pillar;  and  in  the  night  by  a  pillar  of 
fire,  to  give  them  light  in  the  way 
wherein  they  should  go. 

19  Yet  thou  in  thy  manifold  mer- 
cies forsookest  them  not  in  the  wil- 
derness: the  pillar  of  the  cloud  de- 
parted not  from  them  by  day,  to  lead 
them  in  the  way;  neither  the  pillar  of 
fire  by  night,  to  shew  them  light, 
and  the  way  wherein  they  should  go. 

PSALM  lxxviii:14  In  the  daytime 
also  he  led  them  with  a  cloud,  and  all 
the  night  with  a  light  of  fire. 

PSALM  cv:37  He  brought  them 
forth  also  with  silver  and  gold:  and 
there  was  not  one  feeble  person 
among  their  tribes. 

38  Egypt  was  glad  when  they  de- 
parted: for  the  fear  of  them  fell  upon 
them. 

39  He  spread  a  cloud  for  a  cover- 
ing; and  fire  to  give  light  in  the  night. 

40  The  people  asked,  and  he 
brought  quails,  and  satisfied  them  with 
the  bread  of  heaven. 

41  He  opened  the  rock,  and  the  wa- 
ters gushed  out;  they  ran  in  the  dry 
places  like  a  river. 

42  For  he  remembered  his  holy 
promise,   and  Abraham   his  servant. 

EXODUS  xiv:22  "And  the  children 
of  Israel  went  into  the  midst  of  the 
sea  upon  the  dry  ground:  and  the  wa-

saw  it,  they  said  one  to  another,  It  is 
manna:  for  they  wist  not  what  it  was. 
And  Moses  said  unto  them.  This  is  the 
bread  which  the  Lord  hath  given  you 
to  eat. 

33  And  Moses  said  unto  Aaron, 
Take  a  pot,  and  put  an  omer  full  of 
manna  therein,  and  lay  it  up  before 
the  Lord,  to  be  kept  for  your  genera- 
tions. 

34  As  the  Lord  commanded  Moses, 
so  Aaron  laid  it  up  before  the  Testi- 
mony, to  be  kept. 

35  And  the  children  of  Israel  did 
eat  manna  forty  years,  until  they 
came  to  a  land  inhabited:  they  did  eat 
manna,  until  they  came  unto  the  bor- 
ders of  the  land  of  Caanan. 

NEHEMIAH  ix:15  [God]  gavest 
them  bread  from  heaven  for  their 
hunger,  and  broughtest  forth  water 
for  them  out  of  the  rock  for  their 
thirst,  and  promisedst  them  that  they 
should  go  in  to  possess  the  land  which 
thou  [God]  hadst  sworn  to  give  them. 

20  Thou  gavest  also  thy  good  Spir- 
it to  instruct  them,  and  withheldest 
not  thy  manna  from  their  mouth,  and 
gavest  them  water  for  their  thirst. 

21  Yea,  forty  years  didst  thou  sus- 
tain them  in  the  wilderness,  so  that 
they  lacked  nothing;  their  clothes 
waxed  not  old,  and  their  feet  swelled 
not. 

PSALM  lxxviii:23  [God]  com- 
manded the  clouds  from  above,  and 
opened  the  doors  of  heaven, 

24  And  rained  down  manna  upon 
them  to  eat,  and  had  given  them  of 
the  corn  of  heaven. 

25  Man     did     eat    angels'  food:   he 


itual  drink;  for  they  drank  of  that 
spiritual  Rock  that  "followed  them: 
and  that  Rock  was  Christ. 

5  But  with  many  of  them  God  was 

sent  them  meat  to  the  full. 

EXODUS  xvii:5  *  And  the  Lord 
said  unto  Moses,  Go  on  before  the 
people,  and  take  with  thee  of  the  el- 
ders of  Israel;  and  thy  rod,  wherewith 
thou  smotest  the  river,  take  in  thine 
hand,  and  go. 

6  Behold,  I  will  stand  before  thee 
there  upon  the  rock  in  Horeb;  and 
thou  Shalt  smite  the  rock,  and  there 
shall  come  water  out  of  it,  that  the 
people  may  drink.  And  Moses  did  so 
in  the  sight  of  the  elders  of  Israel. 

NUMBERS  XX :  9  And  Moses  took 
the  rod  from  before  the  Lord,  as  he 
commanded  him. 

10  And  Moses  and  Aaron  gathered 
the  congregation  together  before  the 
rock,  and  he  said  unto  them,  Hear 
now,  ye  rebels;  must  we  fetch  you  wa- 
ter out  of  this  rock? 

11  And  Moses  lifted  up  his  hand, 
and  with  his  rod  he  smote  the  rock 
twice:  and  the  water  came  out  abun- 
dantly, and  the  congregation  drank, 
and  their  beasts  also. 

PSALM  lxxviii:15  [God]  clave 
the  rocks  in  the  wilderness,  and  gave 
them  drink  as  out  of  the  great  depths. 

16  He  brought  streams  also  out  of 
the  rock,  and  caused  waters  to  run 
down  like  rivers. 

DEUTERONOMY  ix:21  "[Moses] 
took  your  sin,  the  calf  which  ye  had 
made,  and  burnt  it  with  fire,  and 
stamped  it,  and  ground  it  very  small, 
even  until  it  was  as  small  as  dust: 
and  I  cast  the  dust  thereof  into  the 
brook  that  descended  out  of  the 
mount. 

PSALM  cv:41  [God]  opened  the 
rock,  and  the  waters  gushed  out;  they 
ran  in  the  dry  places  like  a  river. 

NUMBERS  xiv:26  'And  the  Lord

against  me:  in  this  wilderness  they 
shall  be  consumed,  and  there  they 
shall  die. 

NUMBERS  xxvi:63  These  are  they 
that  were  numbered  by  Moses  and 
Eleazer  the  priest,  who  numbered  the 
children  of  Israel  in  the  plains  of  Moab 
by  Jordan  near  Jericho. 

64  But  among  these  there  was  not 
a  man  of  them  whom  Moses  and 
Aaron  the  priest  numbered,  when  they 
numbered  the  children  of  Israel  in  the 
wilderness  of  Sinai. 

65  For  the  Lord  had  said  of  them, 
They  shall  surely  die  in  the  wilder- 
ness. And  there  was  not  left  a  man 
of  them,  save  Caleb  the  son  of  Jephun- 
neh,  and  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun. 

PSALM  cvi:24  [The  Israelites]  de-

not  his  [God's]  word: 

25  But  murmured  in  their  tents, 
and  hearkened  not  unto  the  voice  of 
the  Lord. 

26  Therefore  he  lifted  up  his  hand 
against  them,  to  overthrow  them  in 
the  wilderness: 

NUMBERS  xi:4  ^And  the  mixed 
multitude  that  was  among  them  fell 
a  lusting:  and^  the  children  of  Israel 
also  wept  again,  and  said.  Who  shall 
give  us  flesh  to  eat? 

5  We  remember  the  fish,  which  we 
did  eat  in  Egypt  freely;  the  cucum- 
bers, and  the  melons,  and  the  leeks, 
and  the  onions,  and  the  garlic: 

6  But  now  our  soul  is  dried  away: 
there  is  nothing  at  all,  besides  this 
manna,  before  our  eyes. 

32  And  the  people  stood  up  all  that 
day,  and  all  that  night,  and  all  the 
next  day,  and  they  gathered  the  quails: 
he  that  gathered  least  gathered  ten  ho- 
mers: and  they  spread  them  all  abroad 
for  themselves  round  about  the  camp.

people  sat  down  to  eat  and  drink,  and 
rose  up  to  play. 

8  Neither  let  us  commit  fornica- 
tion, as  some  of  them  committed,  and 
'  fell  in  one  day  three  and  twenty 
thousand. 

33  And  while  the  flesh  was  yet  be- 
tween their  teeth,  ere  it  was  chewed, 
the  wrath  of  tne  Lord  was  kindled 
against  the  people,  and  the  Lord  smote 
the  people  with  a  very  great  plague. 

34  And  he  called  the  name  of  that 
place  Kibroth-hattaavah:  because  there 
they  buried  the  people  that  lusted. 

PSALM  cvi:13  [The  Israelites] 
soon  forgat  his  works;  they  waited 
not  for  his  counsel: 

14  But  lusted  exceedingly  in  the 
wilderness,  and  tempted  God  in  the 
desert. 

15  And  he  gave  them  their  request; 
but  sent  leanness  into  their  soul. 

EXODUS  xxxii:  2  '^  And  Aaron  said 
unto  them.  Break  off  the  golden  ear- 
rings, which  are  in  the  ears  of  your 
wives,  of  your  sons,  and  of  your 
daughters,  and  bring  them  unto  me. 

3  And  all  the  people  break  off  the 
golden  earrings  which  were  in  their 
ears,  and  brought  them  unto  Aaron. 

4  And  he  received  them  at  their 
band,  and  fashioned  it  with  a  graving 
tool,  after  he  had  made  it  a  molten, 
calf:  and  they  said,  These  be  thy  gods, 
0  Israel,  which  brought  thee  up  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt. 

5  And  when  Aaron  saw  it,  he  built 
an  altar  before  it;  and  Aaron  made 
proclamation,  and  said,  To  morrow  is 
a  feast  to  the  Lord. 

6  And  they  rose  up  early  on  the 
morrow,  and  offered  burnt  offerings, 
and  brought  peace  offerings;  and  the 
people  sat  down  to  eat  and  to  drink,

Men  when  praying  and  prophesying  should 
have  their  heads  uncovered,  and  women  with 
their  heads  covered.  14  It  is  a  shame  for  a  man 
to  have  long  hair,  and  a  woman  to  have  short 
hair.  1(5  If  any  are  contentious  this  rule  is  not

ye  remember  me  in  all  things,  and 
keep  the  ordinances,  as  I  delivered 
them  to  you. 

3  But  I  would  have  you  know,  that 
the  head  of  every  man  is  Christ;  and 
"  the  head  of  the  w^oman  is  the  man; 
and  the  head  of  Christ  is  God. 

4  Every  man  praying  or  prophesy- 
ing, having  his  head  covered,  dishon- 
oureth  his  head. 

5  But  every  woman  that  prayeth  or 
prophesieth  with  her  head  uncovered 
dishonoureth  her  head:  for  that  is  ev- 
en all  one  as  if  she  "  were  shaven.       i

cover  his  head,  forasmuch  as  '  he  is

woman  is  the  glory  of  the  man.

and  after  that  thou  shalt  go  in  unto 
her,  and  be  her  husband,  and  she  shall 
be  thy  wife. 

14  And  it  shall  be,  if  thou  have  no 
delight  in  her,  then  thou  shalt  let  her 
go  whither  she  will;  but  thou  shalt 
not  sell  her  at  all  for  money,  thou 
shalt  not  make  merchandise  of  her,

19  And  the  priest  shall  charge  her

thou  hast  not  gone  aside  to  unclean-

thereof.

13  Judge  in  yourselves:  is  it  comely 
that  a  woman  pray  unto  God  uncov-

14  Doth  not  even  nature  itself 
teach  you,  that,  if  a  man  have  long 
hair,  it  is  a  shame  unto  him? 

15  But  if  a  woman  have  long  hair, 
it  is  a  glory  to  her:  for  her  hair  is 
given  her  for  a  covering.

5  And  there  are  differences  of  ad-

6  And  there  are  diversities  of  op- 
erations, but  it  is  the  same  God  which 
worlceth  all  in  all. 

7  But  the  manifestations  of  the 
Spirit  is  given  to  every  man  •"  to  prof-

8  For  to  one  is  given  by  the 
Spirit  'the  word  of  wisdom;  to  anoth- 
er the  "  word  of  knowlodse  by  the 
same  Spirit: 

9  To  another  ''  faith  by  the  same 
Spirit;  to  another  '  the  gifts  of  healing 
by  the  same  Spirit; 

10  To  another  the  working  of  mir- 
acles; to  another  prophecy;  to  anoth- 
er discerning  of  spirits;  to  another 
divers  kinds  of  tongues;  to  another 
the  interpretation  of  tongues: 

11  But  all  these  worketh  that  one 
and  the  selfsame  Spirit,  dividing  to 
every  man  severally  as  he  will.

Jews  or  Gentiles,  whether  we  be  bond

15  If  the  foot  shall  say.  Because  I 
am  not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the

17  If  the  whole  body  were  an  eye, 
where  were  the  hearing?  If  the  whole 
were  hearing,  where  were  the  smell-

18  But  now  hath  God  set  the  mem-

as  it  hath  pleased  him. 

19  And  if  they  were  all  one  mem-

feeble,  are  necessary: 

23  And  those  members  of  the  body, 
which  we  think  to  be  less  honourable, 
upon  these  we  bestow  more  abundant 
honour;  and  our  uncomely  parts  have

we  inheritance  in  the  son  of  Jesse:  to 
your  tents,  0  Israel:  now  see  to  thine

of  men  and  of  angels,  and  have  not 
love,  I  am  become  as  sounding  brass, 
or  a  tinkling  cymbal.

but  unto  God:  for  no  man  understand-

speaketh   mysteries.

4  He  that  speaketh  in  an  unknown

6  Now,  brethren,  if  I  come  unto 
you  speaking  with  tongues,  what  shall 
I  profit  you,  except  I  shall  speak  to 
you  either  by  revelation,  or  by  knowl- 
edge, or  by  prophesying,  or  by  doc- 
trine? 

7  And  even  things  without  life  giv- 
ing sound,  whether  pipe  or  harp,  ex- 
cept they  give  a  distinction  in  the 
sounds,  how  shall  it  be  known  what 
is  piped  or  harped? 

8  For  if  the  trumpet  give  an  un- 
certain sound,  who  shall  prepare  him- 
self to  the  battle? 

9  So  likewise  ye,  except  ye  utter 
by  the  tongue  words  easy  to  be  under- 
stood, how  shall  it  be  known  what  is 
spoken?  for  ye  shall  speak  into  the 
air. 

10  There  are,  it  may  be,  so  many 
kinds  of  voices  in  the  world,  and  none 
of  them  is  without  signification.

away  into  the  land  of  Judah,  and  there 
eat  bread,   and   prophesy  there: 

13  But  prophesy  not  again  any  more 
at  Beth-el:  for  it  is  the  Iving's  chapel, 
and  it  is  the  king's  court. 

14  Then  answerea  Amos,  and  said 
to  Amaziah,  I  was  no  prophet,  neith- 
er was  I  a  prophet's  son;  but  I  was  a 
herdman,  and  a  gatherer  of  sycamore 
fruit: 

15  And  the  Lord  took  me  as  I  fol-

20  Brethren,  "  be  not  children  in 
understanding:  howbeit  in  malice  be 
ye  children,  but  in  understanding  be 
men. 

21  In  the  law  it  is  written,  '  With 
men  of  other  tongues  and  other  lips 
will  I  speak  unto  this  people;  and  yet

them  that  believe  not:  but  prophesy- 
ing serveth  not  for  them  that  believe 
not,  but  for  them  which  believe.

be  come  together  into  one  place,  and 
all  speak  with  tongues,  and  there 
come  in  those  that  are  unlearned,  or 
unbelievers,  will  they  not  say  that  ye 
are  mad? 

24  But  if  ^  all  prophesy,  and  there 
come  in  one  that  believeth  not,  or  one 
unlearned,  he  is  convinced  of  all,  he 
is  judged  of  all: 

25  And  thus  are  the  secrets  of  his 
heart  made  manifest;  and  so  falling 
down  on  his  face  he  will  worship  God,

truth.

ye  come  together,  every  one  of  you 
hath  a  psalm,  hath  a  doctrine,  hath  a 
tongue,  hath  a  revelation,  hath  an  in- 
terpretation. Let  all  things  be  done

known tongue,  let  it  be  by  two,  or  at 
the  most  by  three,  and  that  by  course; 
and  let  one  interpret. 

28  But  if  there  be  no  interpreter, 
let  him  keep  silence  in  the  church;  and 

'  let  him  speak  to  himself,  and  to  God. 

29  Let  the  prophets  speak  two  or

30  If  anything  be  revealed  to  an- 
other that  sitteth  by,  let  the  first  hold 
his  peace.

one,  that  all  may  learn,  and  all  may 
be  comforted. 

32  And  the  spirits  of  the  prophets

they  shall  come  after  thee;  in  chains

supplication  unto  thee,  saying.  Surely 
God  is  in  thee;  and  there  is  none  else, 
there  is  no  God.

35  And  if  they  will  learn  any  thing,

Christ  Seen  After 


I.  CORINTHIANS  XV. 


his  Resurrection. 


1  .Moreover,  brethren,  I  declare  un- 
to you  the  gospel  which  1  preached 
unto  you,  which  also  ye  have  received, 
and  wherein  ye  stand; 

2  By  which  also  ye  are  saved,  if  ye 
keep  in  memory  what  1  preached  unto 
you,   unless  ye  have  believed  in   vain. 

3  For  I  delivered  unto  you  first  of 
all  that  which  I  also  received,  how 
that  "  Christ  died  for  our  sins  accord- 
ing to  the  Scriptures; 

4  And  that  he  was  buried,  and  that 
he  rose  again  the  third  day  ''  accord- 
ing to  the  Scriptures: 

5  And  that  he  was  seen  of  Cephas, 
then  of  the  twelve: 

6  After  that,  he  was  seen  of  above 
five  hundred  brethren  at  once;  of 
whom  the  greater  part  remain  unto 
this  present,  but  some  are  fallen 
asleep. 

7  After  that,  he  was  seen  of  James; 
then  of  all  the  apostles. 

8  And  last  of  all  he  was  seen  of  me 
also,  as  of  one  born  out  of  due  time. 

9  For  I  am  the  least  of  the  apos- 
tles, that  am  not  meet  to  be  called  an 
apostle,  because  I  persecuted  the 
church  of  God. 

10  But  by  the  grace  of  God  "  I  am 
what  I   am:    and  his  grace  which  was 

PSALM  xxii:15  "My  [Christ's] 
strength  is  dried  up  like  a  potsherd; 
and  my  tongue  cleaeth  to  my  jaws;  and 
thou  hast  brought  me  into  the  dust  of 
death. 

ISAIAH       liii:5  [Christ]        was 

wounded  for  our  transgressions,  he 
was  bruised  for  our  iniquities:  the 
chastisement  of  our  peace  was  upon 
him:  and  with  his  stripes  we  are 
healed. 

6  All  we  like  sheep  have  gone 
a?tray:  ..and  the  Lord  hath  laid  on 
him  the  iniquity  of  us  all. 

DANIEL  ix:26  .\nd  after  three- 
score and  two  weeks  shall  Messiah  be 
out  off,  hut  not  for  himself:

bestowed  upon  me  was  not  in  vain;  but 
1  laboured  more  abundantly  than  they 
all:  yet  not  I,  but  the  grace  of  God 
which  was  with  me. 

11  Therefore  whether  it  were  I  or 
they,  so  we  preach,  and  so  ye  believed. 

12  Now  if  Christ  be  preached  that 
•>  he  rose  from  the  dead,  how  say  some 
among  you  that  there  is  no  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead? 

13  But  if  there  be  no  resurrection 
of  the  dead,  then  is  Christ  not  risen: 

14  And  if  Christ  be  not  risen,  then 
is  our  preaching  vain,  and  your  faith 
is  also  vain. 

15  Yea,  and  we  are  found  false  wit- 
nesses of  God;  because  we  have  testi- 
fied of  God  that  he  raised  up  Christ: 
whom  he  raised  not  up,  if  so  be  that 
the  dead  rise  not. 

16  For  if  the  dead  rise  not,  then  is 
not  Christ  raised: 

17  And  if  Christ  be  not  raised,  your 
faith  is  vain;   ye  are  yet  in  your  sins. 

18  Then  they  also  which  are  fallen 
asleep  in  Christ  are  perished. 

19  If  in  this  life  only  we  have  hope 
in  Christ,  we  are  of  all  men  most  mis- 
erable. 

20  But  now  is  Christ  risen  from  the 
dead,     and    become  *  the  firstfruits  of 

against  the  man  that  is  my  fellow, 
salth  the  Lord  of  hosts:  smite  the 
Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall  be  scat- 
tered:

Lord  to  bruise  him:  he  hath  put  him  to 
grief:  when  thou  shalt  make  his  soul 
an  offerin.g  for  sin,  he  shall  see  his 
seed,  he  shall  prolong  his  days,  and 
the  pleasure  of  the  Lord  shall  prosper 
in  his  hand.

he  revive  us:  in  the  third  day  he  will 
raise  us  up,  and  we  shall  live  in  his 
sight.

are  the  dead  raised  up?  and  with  what

36  Thou  fool,  that  which  thou  sow-

thou  sowest  not  that  body  that  shall

wheat,  or  of  some  other  grain:

but  there  is  one  kind  of  flesh  of  men,

me  out  in  the  Spirit  of  the  lx>rd.  and 
set  me  down  in  the  midst  of  the  valley 
which  was  full  of  bones, 

2  And  caused  me  to  pass  by  them 
round  about:  and,  behold,  there  were 
very  many  in  the  open  valley;  and,  lo, 
they  were  very  dry. 

3  And  he  said  unto  me.  Son  of 
man.  can  these  bones  live?  And  I  an- 
swered, O  Lord  God.  thou  knowest. 

4  Again  he  said  unto  me.  Prophesy

41  There  is  one  glory  of  the  sun, 
and  another  glory  of  the  moon,  and 
another  glory  of  the  stars;  for  one 
star  differeth  from  another  star  in 
glory. 

42  '  So  also  is  the  resurrection  of 
the  dead.  It  is  sown  in  corruption,  it 
is  raised  in  incorruption: 

43  It  is  sown  in  dishonour,  it  is 
raised  in  glory:  it  is  sown  in  weak-

We  shall  not  all  sleep,  but  we  shall  all

incorruption,  and  this  mortal  must  put

54  So  when  this  incorruptible  shall 
have  put  on  incorruption,  and  this 
mortal  shall  have  put  on  immortality, 
then  shall  be  brought  to  pass  the  say-

the  strength  of  sin  is  the  law. 

57  But  thanks  be  to  God,  which  giv-

I.  CORINTHIANS  XVI. 


Brethren, 


11  Let  no  man  therefore  despise 
him:  but  conduct  him  forth  in  peace, 
that  he  may  come  unto  me:  for  I  look 
for  him  with  the  brethren. 

12  As  touching  our  brother  Apollos, 
I  greatly  desired  him  to  come  unto  you 
with  the  brethren:  but  his  will  was 
not  at  all  to  come  at  this  time;  but  he 
will  come  when  he  shall  have  con- 
venient time. 

13  Watch  ye,  stand  fast  in  the  faith, 
quit  you  like  men,  "  be  strong. 

14  Let  all  your  things  be  done  with 
love. 

15  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  (ye 
know  the  house  of  Stephanas,  that  is 
the  firstfruits  of  Achaia,  and  that  they 
have  addicted  themselves  to  the  minis- 
try of  the  saints,) 

16  That  ye  submit  yourselves  unto 
such,  and  to  every  one  that  helpeth 
with  us,  and  laboureth. 

17  I  am  glad  of  the  coming  of  Ste- 
phanas and  Fortunatus  and  Achaicus; 

and  thy  maidservant,  and  the  Levite 
that  is  within  thy  gates,  and  the 
stranger,  and  the  fatherless,  and  the 
widow,  that  are  among  you,  in  the 
place  which  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
chosen  to  place  his  name  there.

*  By  divine  appointment  all  males  of  the  Is- 
raelites were  required  to  he  in  attendance  at 
three  ^rand  festivals  every  year.  These  were 
memorials  of  three  very  important  events, 
namely,  their  deliverance  from  Eprypt.  receivin? 
the  law,  and  camp  life  in  the  wilderness.  All 
were  required  to  make  a  financial  contribution 
at  each  of  these  feasts. 

These  gatherings  came  at  appropriate  times 
for  a  general  attendance,  and  for  making  their 
contributions  from  the  i)roducts  of  the  soil. 
They  were  forbidden  to  use  any  grain  for  them- 
selves until  they  had  presented  the  wave  sheaf 
on  Sunday,  the  second  day  of  the  feast  of  un- 
leavened bread.  Fifty  days  later  at  the  feast 
of  weeks  or  Pentecost  their  first  bread  must  be 
offered.  The  feast  of  tabernacles  came  after 
they  had  gathered  in  all  the  produce  of  the  soil, 
and  general  thank  offerings  must  be  given.  Be- 
side these  offerings,  they  were  required  to  re- 
deem the  first  born,  every  one  must  pav  the  half 
shekel  and  one-tenth  of  their  income  from  all 
sources.  When  they  were  actuated  by  the  love 
of  God  and  cheerfully  kept  all  of  his  ordi- 
nances, they  were  a  happy,  prosperous  people; 
when  they  departed  from  this,  their  condition 
was  lamentable 


for  that  which  was  lacking  on  your 
part  they  have  supplied.

it and  yours:  therefore  acknowledge  ye 
them  that  are  such.

15  And  in  this  confidence  I  was 
minded  to  come  unto  you  before,  that 
ye  might  have  a  second  benefit; 

16  And  to  pass  by  you  into  Mace- 
donia, and  to  come  again  out  of  Mace- 
donia unto  you,  and  of  you  to  be 
brought  on  my  way  toward  Judaea. 

17  When  I  therefore  was  thus 
minded,  did  I  use  lightness?  or  the 
things  that  I  purpose,  do  I  purpose  ac- 
cording to  the  flesh,  that  with  me 
there  should  be  yea,  yea,  and  nay, 
nay? 

18  But  as  God  is  true,  our  word 
toward  you  was  not  yea  and  nay. 

19  For  the  "^  Son  of  God,  Jesus 
Christ,  who  was  preached  among  you 
by  us,  even  by  me  and  Silvanus  and 
Timothy,  was  not  yea  and  nay,  but  in 
him  was  yea. 

20  For  all  the  promises  of  God  in 
him  are  yea,  and  in  him  Amen,  unto 
the  glory  of  God  by  us. 

21  Now  he  which  stablisheth  us 
with  you  in  Christ,  and  hath  anointed 
us,  is  God; 

22  Who  hath  also  '  sealed  us,  and 
given  the  earnest  of  ""  the  Spirit  in  our 

to  be  rich:  cease  from  thine  own  wis- 
dom. 

5  Wilt  thou  set  thine  eyes  upon 
that  which  is  not?  for  riches  certainly 
make  themselves  wings;  they  fly  away 
as  an  eagle  toward  heaven.

upon  my  soul,  that  to  spare  you 
I  came  not  as  yet  uuto  Coriuth.

Actuated  by  love  Paul  wrote  in  tears.  6  Re- 
store an  oCfender.  12  Pauls  unrest  not  flndintf

1  But  I  determined  this  with  my- 
self, that  I  would  not  come  again  to 
you  in  heaviness. 

2  For  if  I  make  you  sorry,  who  is 
he  then  that  maketh  me  glad,  but  the 
same  which  is  made  sorry  by  me? 

3  And  I  wrote  this  same  unto  you, 
lest,  when  I  came,  I  should  have  sor- 
row from  them  of  whom  I  ought  to  re- 
joice; having  confidence  in  you  all, 
that  °  my  joy  Is  the  joy  of  you  all. 

4  For  out  of  much  affliction  and 
anguish  of  heart  I  wrote  unto  you 
with  "many  tears;  not  that  ye  should 
be  grieved,  but  that  ye  might  know 
the  love  which  I  have  more  abundant- 
ly unto  you. 

5  But  if  any  have  caused  grief,  he 
hath  not  grieved  me,  but  in  part:  that 
I  may  not  overcharge  you  all. 

6  Sufficient  to  such  a  man  is  this 
punishment,     which     was    inflicted    of

7  So  that  contrariwise  ye  ought 
rather  to  forgive  him,  and  comfort 
him,  lest  perhaps  such  a  one  should  be 
swallowed  up  with  overmuch  sorrow. 

8  Wherefore  I  beseech  you  that  ye 
would  P  confirm  your  love  toward  him. 

9  For  to  this  end  also  did  I  write, 
that  I  might  know  the  proof  of  you, 
whether  ye  be  obedient  in  all  things. 

10  To  whom  ye  forgive  any  thing, 
I  forgive  also:  for  if  I  forgave  any 
thing,  to  whom  I  forgave  it,  for  your 
sakes  forgive  I  it  in  the  person  of 
Christ; 

11  Lest  •'  Satan  should  get  an  ad- 
vantage of  us:  for  we  are  not  ignorant 
of  his  devices. 

12  Furthermore,  when  I  came  to 
Troas  to  preach  Christ's  gospel,  and  a 
door  was  opened  unto  me  of  the  Lord, 

13  I  had  no  rest  in  my  spirit,  be- 
cause I  found  not  Titus  my  brother; 
but  taking  my  leave  of  them,  I  went 
from  thence  into  Macedonia. 

14  Now  thanks  be  unto  God,  which 
always  causeth  us  to  triumph  in 
Christ,  and  make  manifest  ■■  the  sa- 
vour of  his  knowledge  by  us  in  every 
place. 

15  For  we  are  unto  God  a  sweet 
savour    of    Christ,     in    them  that  are 

down  at  his  feet,  and  besought  him 
with  tears  to  put  away  the  mischief  of 
Haman  the  Agagite,  and  his  device 
that  he  had  devised  against  the  Jews.

thee,  0  man,  what  is  good;  and  what

said  unto  me,  The  prophets  prophesy

ther have  I  commanded  them,  neither

you  a  false  vision  and  divination,  and 
a  thing  of  nought,  and  the  deceit  of 
their  heart. 

JEREMIAH  xxiii:25  I  have  heard 
what  the  prophets  said,  that  prophesy 
lies  in  my  name,  saying,  I  have 
dreamed,  I  have  dreamed. 

26  How  long  shall  this  be  in  the 
heart  of  the  prophets  that  prophesy 
lies?  yea,  they  are  prophets  of  the  de- 
ceit of  their  own  heart; 

27  Which  think  to  cause  my  people 
to  forget  my  name  by  their  dreams, 
which  they  tell  every  man  to  his 
neighbour,  as  their  fathers  have  for-

7  And  he  laid  it  upon  my  mouth, 
and  said,  Lo,  this  hath  touched  thy 
lips;  and  thine  iniquity  is  taken  away, 
and  thy  sin  purged.

cleanse  you.

your  uncleannesses:  and  I  will  call  for 
the  corn,  and  will  Increase  it.  and  lay 
no  famine  upon  you.

and  spirit,  "  perfecting  holiness  in  the 
fear  of  God. 

2  Receive  us;  we  have  wronged  no 
man,  we  have  corrupted  no  man,  we 
have  defrauded  no  man. 

3  I  speak  not  this  to  condemn  you: 
for  I  have  said  before,  that  ye  are  in 
our  hearts  to  die  and  live  with  you. 

4  Great  is  my  boldness  of  speech 
toward  you,  great  is  my  glorying  of 
you:  I  am  filled  with  comfort,  I  am 
exceeding  joyful  in  all  our  tribula- 
tion. 

5  For,  when  we  were  come  into 
Macedonia,  our  flesh  had  no  rest,  but 
we  were  troubled  on  every  side; 
•>  without  were  fightings,  within  were 
fears. 

6  Nevertheless  God,  that  comfort- 
eth  those  that  are  cast  down,  com- 
forted us  by  the  coming  of  Titus; 

7  And  not  by  his  coming  only,  but 
by  the  consolation  wherewith  he  was 
comforted  in  you,  when  he  told  us 
your  earnest  desire,  your  mourning, 
your  fervent  mind  toward  me;  so  that 
I  rejoiced  the  more. 

8  For  though  I  made  you  sorry 
with  a  letter,  I  do  not  repent,  though 
I  did  repent:  for  I  perceive  that  the 
same  epistle  hath  made  you  sorry, 
though  it  were  but  for  a  season. 

9  Now  I  rejoice,  not  that  ye  were 
made  sorry,  but  that  ye  sorrowed  to 

man  of  gray  hairs. 

ISAIAH  lv:7  «^  Let  the  wicked  for- 
sake his  way,  and  the  unrighteous 
man  his  thoughts:  and  let  him  return 
unto  the  Lord,  and  he  will  have  mercy 
upon  him;  and  to  our  God,  for  he  will 
abundantly  pardon. 

IL  SAMUEL  xii:13  ""And  David 
said  unto  Nathan,  I  have  sinned 
against  the  Lord.  And  Nathan  said 
unto  David,  The  Lord  also  hath  put 
away  thy  sin;  thou  shalt  not  die. 

JEREMIAH  xxxi:9  They  shall 
come  with  weeping,  and  with  suppli-

repentance:  for  ye  were  made  sorry 
"=  after  a  godly  manner,  that  ye  might 
receive  damage  by  us  in  nothing. 

10  For  *  godly  sorrow  worketh  re- 
pentance to  salvation  not  to  be  re- 
pented of:  *  but  the  sorrow  of  the 
world  worketh  death. 

11  For  behold  this  selfsame  thing, 
that  ye  '  sorrowed  after  a  godly  sort, 
what  carefulness  it  wrought  in  you, 
yea,  what  clearing  of  yourselves,  yea, 
what  indignation,  yea,  what  fear,  yea, 
what  vehement  desire,  yea,  what  zeal, 
yea,  what  revenge!  In  all  things  « ye 
have  approved  yourselves  to  be  clear 
in  this  matter. 

12  Wherefore,  though  I  wrote  unto 
you,  I  did  it  not  for  his  cause  that 
had  done  the  wrong,  nor  for  his  cause 
that  suffered  wrong,  but  that  our  care 
for  you  in  the  sight  of  God  might  ap- 
pear unto  you. 

13  Therefore  we  were  comforted  in 
your  comfort:  yea,  and  exceedingly  the 
more  joyed  we  for  the  joy  of  Titus, 
because  his  spirit  was  refreshed  by 
you  all. 

14  For  if  I  have  boasted  any  thing 
to  him  of  you,  I  am  not  ashamed;  but 
as  we  spake  all  things  to  you  in  truth, 
even  so  our  boasting,  which  I  made 
before  Titus,  is  found  a  truth. 

15  And  his  inward  affection  is 
more  abundant  toward  you,  whilst  he 

not  stumble:  for  I  am  a  father  to  Is- 
rael, and  Ephraim  is  my  firstborn.

1  Moreover,  brethren,  we  do  you 
to  wit  of  the  grace  of  God  bestowed 
on  the  churches  of  Macedonia; 

2  How  that  in  a  great  trial  of  af- 
fliction, the  "  abundance  of  their  joy 
and  their  deep  poverty  abounded  unto 
the  riches  of  their  liberality. 

3  For  to  their  power,  I  bear  record, 
yea,  and  beyond  their  power  they  were 
willing  of  themselves; 

4  Praying  us  with  much  entreaty 
that  we  would  receive  the  gift,  and 
take  upon  us  the  fellowship  of  the 
^  ministering  to  the  saints. 

5  And  this  they  did,  not  as  we 
hoped,  but  first  gave  their  own  selves 
to  the  Lord,  and  unto  us  by  the  will 
of  God. 

6  Insomuch  that  we  desired  Titus, 
that  as  he  had  begun,  so  he  would  al- 
so finish  in  you  the  same  grace  also. 

7  Therefore,  as  ye  abound  in  every 
thing,     in     faith,     and   utterance,   and 

ISAIAH  xxx:15  "For  thus  saith 
the  Lord  God,  the  Holy  One  of  Israel; 
In  returning  and  rest  shall  ye  be 
saved;  in  quietness  and  in  confidence 
shall  be  your  strength. 

PSALM  cxii:9  ''He  hath  dispersed, 
he  hath  given  to  the  poor;  his  right-

LEVITICUS  xix:  18  <=  Thou  shalt 
not  avenge,  nor  bear  any  grudge 
against  the  children  of  thy  people,  but 
thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thy-

I.  SAMUEL  ii :  7  ^  The  Lord  mak- 
eth  poor,  and  maketh  rich:    he  bring- 


knowledge,  and  in  all  diligence,  and 
in  your  love  to  us,  see  that  ye  abound 
in  this  grace  also. 

8  I  speak  not  by  commandment, 
but  by  occasion  of  the  forwardness  of 
others,  and  to  prove  the  ■"  sincerity  of 
your  love. 

9  For  ye  know  the  grace  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that,  though  he 
was  rich,  yet  for  your  sakes  he  be- 
came poor,  that  ye  through  his  pov- 
erty might  be  rich. 

10  And  herein  I  give  my  advice: 
for  this  is  expedient  for  you,  who  have 
begun  before,  not  only  to  do,  but  al- 
so to  be  forward  a  year  ago. 

11  ''  Now  therefore  perform  the  do- 
ing of  it;  that  as  there  was  a  readiness 
to  will,  so  there  may  be  a  performance 
also  out  of  that  which  ye  have. 

12  For  if  there  be  first  a  willing 
mind,  it  is  accepted  according  to  that 
a  man  hath,  and  not  according  to  that 
he  hath  not. 

13  For  I  mean  not  that  other  men 
be  eased,  and  ye  burdened: 

14  But  by  an  equality,  that  now  at 
this  time  your  abundance  may  be  a 
supply  for  their  want,  that  their  abun- 
dance also  may  be  a  supply  for  your 
want;   that  there  may  be  equality: 

15  As   it   is  written,   ^  He   that  had 

eth  low,  and  lifteth  up. 

8  He  raiseth  up  the  poor  out  of  the 
dust,  and  lifteth  up  the  beggar  from 
the  dunghill,  to  set  them  among 
princes,  and  to  make  them  inherit  the 
throne  of  glory:  for  the  pillars  of  the 
earth  are  the  Lord's,  and  he  hath  set 
the  world  upon  them.

roweth,  and  payeth  not  back  again;

he  that  had  gathered  little  had  no 
lack. 

16  But  thanks  be  to  God,  which  put 
the  same  earnest  care  into  the  heart 
of  Titus  for  you. 

17  For  indeed  he  accepted  the  ex- 
hortation; but  being  more  forward,  of 
his  own  accord  he  went  unto  you. 

18  And  we  have  sent  with  him  the 
brother,  whose  praise  is  in  the  gospel 
throughout  all  the  churches; 

19  And  not  that  only,  but  who  was 
also  chosen  of  the  churches  to  travel 
with  us  with  this  grace,  which  is  ad- 
ministered by  us  to  the  glory  of  the 
same  Lord,  and  declaration  of  your 
ready  mind: 

20  Avoiding  this,  that  no  man 
should  blame  us  in  this  abundance 
which  is  administered  by  us: 

21  '  Providing  for  honest  things, 
not  only  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  but 
also  in  the  sight  of  men. 

22  And  we  have  sent  with  them 
our  brother,  whom  we  have  oftentimes 
proved  diligent  in  many  things,  but 
now  much  more  diligent,  upon  the 
great  confidence  which  I  have  in  you. 

23  Whether  any  do  inquire  of  Ti- 
tus, he  is  my  partner  and  fellow  help-

cording to  his  eating.

9  Ye  are  cursed  with  a  curse:  for 
ye  have  robbed  me,  even  this  whole 
nation. 

10  Bring  ye  all  the  tithes  into  the 
storehouse,  that  there  may  be  meat  in 
mine  house,  and  prove  me  now  here-

not  open  you  the  windows  of  heaven, 
and  pour  you  out  a  blessing,  that  there 
shall  not  be  room  enough  to  receive 
it. 

11  And  I  will  rebuke  the  devourer 
for  your  sakes,  and  he  shall  not  de-

inquired    of,    they  are  the  messengers 

of    the    churches,    and    the    glory  of 

Christ. 

24    Wherefore  shew  ye  to  them,  and 

before     the     churches,     ^  the  proof  of 

your     love,     and     of  our  boasting  on 

your  behalf. 

CHAPTER  IX. 

Ministering  to  the  saints.  6  God's  ability  to 
make  the  grace  ot  giving  abound.  12  It  results 
in  many  thanksgivings  to  God. 

1  For  as  touching  the  ministering 
to  the  saints,  it  is  superfluous  for  me 
to  write  to  you: 

2  For  I  know  the  forwardness  of 
your  mind,  for  which  I  boast  of  you  to 
them  of  Macedonia,  that  Achaia  was 
ready  a  year  ago,  and  "  your  zeal  hath 
provoked  very  many. 

3  Yet  have  I  sent  the  brethren,  lest 
our  boasting  of  you  should  be  in  vain 
in  this  behalf;  that,  as  I  said,  ye  may 
be  ready: 

4  Lest  haply  if  they  of  Macedonia 
come  with  me,  and  find  you  unpre- 
pared, we  (that  we  say  not,  ye)  should 
be  ashamed  in  this  same  confident 
boasting. 

5  Therefore  I  thought  it  necessary 
to  exhort  the  brethren,  that  they 
would  go  before  unto  you,  and  make 

fore  the  time  in  the  field,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts. 

12  And  all  nations  shall  call 
you  blessed:  for  ye  shall  be  a  delight- 
some land,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

PROVERBS  xv:16  s  Better  is  lit- 
tle with  the  fear  of  the  Lord,  than 
great  treasure   and   trouble   therewith.

where  love  is,  than  a  stalled  ox  and 
hatred  therewith.

thine  house  hath  eaten  me  up;  and

CHAPTER  X. 

In  the  flesh  but  not  after  the  flesh.  10  His 
letters  powerful,  presence  appeared  to  be  weak, 
and  speech  contemptible. 

1  Now  I  Paul  myself  beseech  you 
by  the  "  meekness  and  gentleness  of 
Christ,  who  in  presence  am  base 
among  you,  but  being  absent  am  bold 
toward  you: 

2  But  I  beseech  you,  that  I  may  not 
be  bold  when  I  am  present  with  that 
confidence,  wherewith  I  think  to  be 
bold  against  some,  which  think  of  us 
as  if  we  walked  according  to  the 
flesh. 

3  For  though  we  walk  in  the  flesh, 
we  do  not  war  after  the  flesh:

are     not     carnal,    but  mighty  through

righteousness  upon  you.

ly, 0  daughter  of  Zion;  shout,  0 
daughter  of  Jerusalem:  behold,  thy 
King  Cometh  unto  thee:  he  is  just,  and 
having  salvation;  lowly,  and  riding 
upon  an  ass,  and  upon  a  colt  the  foal 
of  an  ass. 

JEREMIAH  i:  10      "  See,  I  have  this 


God  "to  the  pulling  down  of  strong 
holds;) 

5  Casting  down  imaginations,  and 
every  high  thing  that  exalteth  itself 
against  the  knowledge  of  God,  and 
bringing  into  captivity  every  thought 
to  the  obedience  of  Christ. 

6  And  having  in  a  readiness  to  re- 
venge all  disobedience,  when  your 
obedience  is  fulfilled. 

7  Do  ye  look  on  things  after  "  the 
outward  appearance?  If  any  man  trust 
to  himself  that  he  is  Christ's,  let  him 
of  himself  think  this  again,  that,  as 
he  is  Christ's,  even  so  are  we  Christ's. 

8  For  though  I  should  boast  some- 
what more  of  our  authority,  which  the 
Lord  hath  given  us  for  edification,  and 
not  for  your  destruction,  I  should  not 
be  ashamed: 

9  That  I  may  not  seem  as  if  I 
would  terrify  you  by  letters. 

10  For  his  letters,  say  they,  are 
weighty  and  powerful;  but  his  bodily 
presence  is  weak,  and  his  speech  con- 
temptible. 

11  Let  such  a  one  think  this,  that, 
such  as  we  are  in  word  by  letters  when 
we  are  absent,  such  will  we  be  also 
in  deed  when  we  are  present. 

12  For  we  dare  not  make  ourselves 
of  the  number,  or  compare  ourselves 
with  some  that  commend  themselves: 
but  they,  measuring  themselves  by 
themselves,  and  comparing  themselves 
among  themselves,  are  not  wise. 

13  But  we  will  not  boast  of  things 

day  set  thee  [Jeremiah]  over  the  na- 
tions and  over  the  kingdoms,  to  root 
out,  and  to  pull  down,  and  to  destroy, 
'and  to  throw  down,  to  build,  and  to 
plant.

said  unto  Samuel,  Look  not  on  his 
countenance,  or  on  the  height  of  his 
stature;  because  I  have  refused  him: 
[Eliab]  for  the  Lord  seeth  not  as  man 
seeth;  for  man  looketh  on  the  out- 
ward appearance,  but  the  Lord  look- 
eth on  the  heart.

■'  the  serpent  beguiled  Eve  through  his 
subtilty,  so  your  minds  should  be  cor- 
rupted from  the  simplicity  that  is  in 
Christ. 

4  For  if  he  that  cometh  preacheth

preached,  or  if  ye  receive  another  spir- 
it, which  ye  have  not  received,  or  an- 
other gospel,  which  ye  have  not  ac- 
cepted, ye  might  well  bear  with  him. 

5  For  I  suppose  I  was  not  a  whit 
behind  the  very  chiefest  apostles. 

6  But  though  I  be  rude  in  speech, 
yet  not  in  knowledge;  but  we  have 
been  thoroughly  made  manifest  among 
you  in  all  things. 

7  Have  I  committed  an  offence  in 
abasing  myself  that  ye  might  be  ex- 
alted, because  I  have  preached  to  you 
the  gospel  of  God  freely? 

8  I  robbed  other  churches,  taking 
wages  of  them,  to  do  you  service. 

9  And  when  I  was  present  with 
you  and  wanted,  I  was  chargeable  to 
no  man:  for  that  which  was  lacking 
to  me  the  brethren  which  came  from 
Macedonia  supplied:  and  in  all  things 
I  have  kept  myself  from  being  burden- 
some unto  you,  and  so  will  I  keep  my- 
self.

no  man  shall  stop  me  of  this  boasting 
in  the  regions  of  Achaia. 

11  Wherefore?  because  I  love  you 
not?  God  knoweth. 

12  But  what  I  do,  that  I  will  do, 
that  I  may  cut  off  occasion  from  them 
which  desire  occasion;  that  wherein 
they  glory,  they  may  be  found  even  as 
we. 

13  For  such  are  false  apostles,  de- 
ceitful workers,  transforming  them- 
selves into  the  apostles  of  Christ. 

14  And  no  marvel;  for  Satan  him- 
self is  transformed  into  an  angel  of 
light. 

15  Therefore  it  is  no  great  thing  if 
his  ministers  also  be  transformed  as 
the  ministers  of  righteousness;  whose 
end  shall  be  according  to  their  works. 

16  I  say  again.  Let  no  man  think 
me  a  fool;  if  otherwise,  yet  as  a  fool 
receive  me,  that  I  may  boast  myself  a 
little. 

17  That  which  I  speak,  I  speak  it 
not  after  the  Lord,  but  as  it  were  fool- 
ishly, in  this  confidence  of  boasting. 

18  Seeing  that  many  glory  after 
the  flesh,  I  will  glory  also. 

19  For  ye  suffer  fools  gladly,  see- 
ing ye  yourselves  are  wise. 

20  For  ye  suffer,  if  a  man  bring  you 
into  bondage,  if  a  man  devour  you,  if 
a  man  take  of  you,  if  a  man  exalt  him- 
self, if  a  man  smite  you  on  the  face. 

21  I  speak  as  concerning  reproach, 
as  though  we  had  been  weak.  Howbe- 
it,  whereinsoever  any  is  bold,  (I  speak 
foolishly,)  I  am  bold  also.

10  He  took  pieusure  in  his  intiruiiiies. 

1  It  is  not  expedient  for  me  doubt- 
less to  glory.  I  •will  come  to  visions 
and  revelations  of  the  Lord. 

2  I  knew  a  man  in  Christ  above 
fourteen  years  ago,  (whether  in  the 
body,  I  cannot  tell;  or  whether  out  of 
the  body,  I  cannot  tell:  God  know- 
eth;)  such  an  one  caught  up  to  the 
third  heaven. 

3  And  I  knew  such  a  man,  (wheth- 
er in  the  body,  or  out  of  the  body,  I 
cannot  tell:   God  knoweth;) 

4  How  that  he  was  caught  up  into 
paradise,  and  heard  unspeakable 
words,  which  it  is  not  lawful  for  a 
man  to  utter. 

5  Of  such  a  one  will  I  glory:  yet  of 
myself  I  will  not  glory,  but  in  mine 
Infirmities. 

6  For  though  I  would  desire  to 
glory,  I  shall  not  be  a  fool;  for  I  will 
say  the  truth:  but  now  I  forbear,  lest 
any  man  should  think  of  me  above 
that  which  he  seeth  me  to  be,  or  that 
he  heareth  of  me. 

7  And  lest  I  should  be  exalted 
above  measure  through  the  abund- 
ance of  the  revelations,  there  was  glv- 

EZEKIEL  xxviii:24  '  And  there

shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord  God. 

JOB  ii:7  ""So  went  Satan  forth 
from  the  presence  of  the  Lord,  and 
smote  Job  with  sore  boils  from  the 
sole  of  his  foot  unto  his  crown. 

DEUTERONOMY  iii:23  "And  I 
[Moses]  besought  the  Lord  at  that 
time,  saying, 

24  0  Lord  God,  thou  hast  begun  to 
shew  thy  servant  thy  greatness,  and 
thy  mighty  hand:  for  what  God  is 
there  in  heaven  or  in  earth,  that  can 
do  according  to  thy  works,  and  accord- 
ing to  thy  might? 

25  I  pray  thee,  let  me  go  over,  and 


en  to  me  a  '  thorn  in  the  flesh,  '"  the 
messenger  of  Satan  to  buffet  me,  lest 
I  should   be  exalted  above   measure. 

8  For  this  thing  "  I  besought  the 
Lord  thrice,  that  it  might  depart  from 
me. 

9  And  he  said  unto  me,  °  My  grace 
is  sufficient  for  thee:  for  my  strength 
is  made  perfect  in  weakness.  Most 
gladly  therefore  will  I  rather  glory  in 
my  infirmities,  that  the  power  of 
Christ  may  rest  upon  me. 

10  Therefore  I  take  pleasure  in  in- 
firmities, in  reproaches,  in  necessities, 
in  persecutions,  in  distresses  for 
Christ's  sake:  for  when  I  am  weak, 
then  am  I  strong. 

11  I  am  become  a  fool  in  glorying; 
ye  have  compelled  me:  for  I  ought  to 
have  been  commended  of  you:  for  in 
nothing  am  I  behind  the  very  chiefest 
apostles,  though  I  be  nothing. 

12  Truly  the  signs  of  an  apostle 
were  wrought  among  you  in  all  pa- 
tience, in  signs,  and  wonders,  and 
mighty  deeds. 

13  For  what  is  it  wherein  ye  were 
inferior  to  other  churches,  except  it 
be  that  I  myself  was  not  burdensome 
to  you?  forgive  me  this  wrong.

see  the  good  land  that  is  beyond  Jor- 
dan, that  goodly  mountain,  and  Leba- 
non. 

2G  But  the  Lord  was  wroth  with  me 
for  your  sakes,  and  would  not  hear 
me:  and  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Let  it 
suffice  thee;  speak  no  more  unto  me 
of  this  matter. 

27  Get  thee  up  into  the  top  of  Pis- 
gah,  and  lift  up  thine  eyes  westward, 
and  northward,  and  southward,  and 
eastward,  and  behold  It  with  thine

prove  faith.    14  The  benediction. 

1  This  is  the  third  time  I  am  com- 
ing to  you.  p  In  the  mouth  of  two  or 
three  witnesses  shall  every  word  be  es- 
tablished.

you,  as  if  I  were  present  the  second

to  them  which  heretofore  have  sinned, 
and  to  all  other,  that,  if  I  come  again, 
I  will  not  spare; 

3  Since  ye  seek  a  proof  of  Christ 
speaking  in  me,  which  to  you-ward  is 
not  weak,  ""  but  is  mighty  in  you. 

4  For  though  he  was  ^  crucified 
through  weakness,  yet  he  liveth  by  the 
power  of  God.  For  '  we  also  are  weak 
in  him,  but  we  shall  live  with  him  by 
the  power  of  God  toward  you. 

5  Examine  yourselves,  whether  ye 
be  "in  the  faith;  prove  your  own 
selves.     Know  ye  not  your  own  selves, 

sin  that  he  sinneth:  at  the  mouth  of 
two  witnesses,  or  at  the  mouth  of  three 
witnesses,  shall  the  matter  be  estab- 
lished.

sins.

CHAPTER  I. 

Paul's  salutation.  6  The  church  depart  from 
the  gospel  Paul  preached.  11  Paul  did  not  re- 
ceive the  gospel  from  man,  but  by  the  revela- 
tion of  Jesus  Christ.  15  Incidents  of  Paul's 
experience. 

1  Paul,  an  apostle,  (not  of  men, 
neither  by  man,  but  by  Jesus  Christ, 
and  God  the  Father,  who  raised  him 
from  the  dead;) 

2  And  all  the  brethren  'which  are 
■with  me,  unto  the  churches  of  Galatia: 

3  Grace  be  to  you,  and  peace,  from 
God  the  Father,  and  from  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ, 

4  Who  gave  himself  for  our  sins, 
that  he  might  deliver  us  "  from  this 
present  evil  -world,  according  to  the 
"Will  of  God  and  our  Father: 

5  To  -whom  be  glory  for  ever  and 
ever.     Amen. 

6  I  marvel  that  ye  are  so  soon  re- 
moved from  him  that  called  you  into 
the  grace  of  Christ  unto  another  gos- 
pel: 

7  Which  is  not  another;  but  there 
be  some  that  trouble  you,  and  -would 
pervert  the  gospel  of  Christ. 

8  But  though  we,  or  an  angel  from 
heaven,  preach  any  other  gospel  unto 
you  than  that  which  we  have  preached 
unto  you,  let  him  be  accursed. 

9  As  we  said  before,  so  say  I  now 

ISAL\H  lxv:17  ''For,  behold,  1 
create  new  heavens  and  a  new  earth: 
and  the  former  shall  not  be  remem- 
bered, nor  come  into  mind. 

DEUTERONOMY  iv:2  ^  y^  shall 
not  add  unto  the  word  which  I  com- 
mand you,  neither  shall  ye  diminish 
aught  from  it,  that  ye  may  keep  the 
commandments  of  the  Lord  your  God 
which  I  command  you. 

DEUTERONOMY  xii:32  What 
thing  soever  I  command  you,  observe 
to  do  it:   thou  shalt  not  add  thereto, 


again.  If  any  man  preach  any  other 
gospel  unto  you  ^  than  that  ye  have 
received,  let  him  be  accursed. 

10  For  do  I  now  "  persuade  men,  or 
God?  or  do  I  seek  to  please  men?  for 
if  I  yet  pleased  men,  I  should  not  be 
the  servant  of  Christ. 

11  But  I  certify  you,  brethren,  that 
the  gospel  which  was  preached  of  me 
is  not  after  man. 

12  For  I  neither  received  it  of  man, 
neither  was  I  taught  it,  but  by  the  re- 
velation of  Jesus  Christ. 

13  For  ye  have  heard  of  my  con- 
versation in  time  past  in  the  Jews'  re- 
ligion, how  that  beyond  measure  I 
persecuted  the  church  of  God,  and 
wasted  it: 

14  And  profited  in  the  Jews'  relig- 
ion above  many  my  equals  in  mine 
own  nation,  being  more  exceedingly 
zealou's  "^  of  the  traditions  of  my  fath- 
ers. 

15  But  when  it  pleased  God,  "  who 
separated  me  from  my  mother's  womb, 
and  called  me  by  his  grace, 

16  To  reveal  his  Son  in  me,  that  I 
might  preach  him  among  the  heath- 
en; immediately  I  conferred  not  with 
flesh  and  blood: 

17  Neither  went  I  up  to  Jerusalem 
with  them  which  were  apostles  before 

nor  diminish  from  it. 

PROVERBS  XXX :  5  Every  word  of

lest  he  reprove  thee,  and  thou  be 
found  a  liar.

stayed  his  servants  with  these  words, 
and  suffered  them  not  to  rise  up 
against  Saul.  But  Saul  rose  up  out  of

18  Then  after  three  years  I  went

abode  with  him  fifteen  days.

Paul's  second  visit  to  Jerusalem.  16  Man  is 
not  justified  by  the  law.  but  by  the  faith  of 
Jesus  Christ. 

1  Then  fourteen  years  after  I  went 
up  again  to  Jerusalem  with  Barnabas, 
and  took  Titus  with  me  also. 

2  And  I  went  up  by  revelation,  and 
communicated  unto  them  that  gospel 
which   I   preach  among  the   '  Gentiles, 

JEREMIAH  ix:13  ''And  the  Lord 
saith.  Because  they  [the  Jews]  have 
forsaken  my  law  which  I  set  before 
them,  and  have  not  obeyed  my  voice, 
neither  walked  therein; 

14  But  have  walked  after  the  im- 
agination of  their  own  heart,  and  af- 
ter Baalim,  which  their  fathers  taught 
them: 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel:  Behold,  I 
will  feed  them,  even  this  people,  with 
wormwood,  and  give  them  water  of 
gall  to  drink. 

JERE.MIAH  i:5  "Before  I  formed 
thee  [Jeremiah]  in  the  belly  I  knew 
thee;  and  before  thou  camest  forth 
out  of  the  womb  I  sanctified  thee,  and 
I  ordained  thee  a  prophet  unto  the  na- 
tions.

shnll  come  to  thy  [God's]  light,  and 
kings  to  the  brightness  of  thy  rising. 


but  i)rivately  to  them  which  were  of 
reputation,  lest  by  any  means  I  should 
run,  or  had  run,  in  vain. 

3  But  neither  Titus,  who  was  with 
me,  being  a  Greek,  was  compelled  to 
be  circumcised: 

4  And  that  because  of  false  breth- 
ren unawares  brought  in,  who  came  in 
privily  to  spy  out  our  liberty  which 
we  have  in  Christ  Jesus,  that  they 
might  bring  us  into  bondage: 

5  To  whom  we  gave  place  by  sub- 
jection, no,  not  for  an  hour;  that  the 
truth  of  the  gospel  might  continue 
with  you. 

6  But  of  those  who  seemed  to  be 
somewhat,  (whatsoever  they  were,  it 
maketh  no  matter  to  me.  "  God  ac- 
cepteth  no  man's  person:)  for  they 
who  seemed  to  be  somewhat  in  con- 
ference added  nothing  to  me: 

7  But  contrariwise,  when  they  saw 
that  the  gospel  of  the  uncircumcision 
was  committed  unto  me,  as  the  gos- 
pel of  the  circumcision  was  unto 
Peter; 

8  (For  he  that  wrought  effectually 
in  Peter  to  the  apostleship  of  the  cir- 
cumcision, the  same  was  mighty  in  me 
toward  ''the  Gentiles;) 

n.  CHRONICLES  xix:7  « Where- 
fore  now  let  the  fear  of  the  Lord  be 
upon  you;  take  heed  and  do  it;  for 
there  is  no  iniquity  with  the  Lord  our 
God,  nor  respect  of  persons,  nor  tak- 
ing of  gifts.

mine  elect,  in  whom  my 
soul  delighteth;  I  have  put  my  Spirit

ment to  the  Gentiles. 

6  I  the  Lord  have  called  thee  in 
righteousness,  and  will  hold  thine 
hand,  and  will  keep  thee,  and  give 
thee  for  a  covenant  of  the  people,  for

and  to  restore  the  preserved  of

9  And  when  James,  Cephas,  and 
John,  who  seemed  to  be  pillars,  per- 
ceived the  grace  that  was  given  unto 
me,  they  gave  to  me  and  Barnabas  the 
right  hands  of  fellowship;  that  we 
should  go  unto  '  the  heathen,  and  they 
unto  the  circumcision. 

10  Only  they  would  that  J  we 
should  remember  the  poor;  the  same 
which  I  also  was  forward  to  do. 

11  But  when  Peter  was  come  to 
Antioch,  I  withstood  him  to  the  face, 
because  he  was  to  be  blamed. 

12  For  before  that  certain  came 
from  James,  he  did  eat  with  the  Gen- 
tiles: but  when  they  were  come,  he 
withdrew  and  separated  himself,  ''fear- 
ing them  which  were  of  the  circum- 
cision.

likewise     with     him;      insomuch    that 

to  the  Gentiles,  that  thou  mayest  be

tiles shall  come  unto  thee  from  the

their  dissimulation. 

14  But  when  I  saw  that  they 
walked  not  uprightly  '  according  to 
the  truth  of  the  gospel,  I  said  unto 
Peter  before  them  all.  If  thou,  being 
a  Jew,  livest  after  the  manner  of  Gen- 
tiles, and  not  as  do  the  Jews,  why 
compellest  thou  the  Gentiles  to  live  as 
do  the  Jews?

and  not  sinners  of  the  Gentiles, 

16  Knowing  that  a  man  is  ""  not 
justified  by  the  works  of  the  law,  but 
by  the  faith  of  Jesus  Christ,  even  we 
'have  believed  in  Jesus  Christ,  that  we 
might  be  justified  by  the  faith  of 
Christ,  and  not  by  the  works  of  the

no  flesh  be  justified.

tifled  by  Christ,  we  ourselves  also  are 
found  sinners.  Is  therefore  Christ  the 
minister  of  sin?  God  forbid. 

18  For  if  I  build  again  the  things 
which  I  destroyed.  I  make  myself  a 
transgressor. 

19  For  I  through  the  law  am  dead 
to  the  law,  that  I  might  live  unto  God. 

20  I  am  crucified  with  Christ:  nev- 
ertheless I  live;  yet  not  I,  but  Christ 
liveth  in  me:  and  the  life  which  I  now 
live  in  the  flesh  I  live  by  the  faith  of 
the  Son  of  God,  who  loved  me,  and 
gave  himself  for  me. 

21  I  do  not  frustrate  the  grace  of 
God:  for  if  righteousness  come  by  the 
law,  then  Christ  is  dead  in  vain. 

CHAPTER  III. 

Salvation  is  Viy  Jesus  Christ,  throutfh  the  .Spir- 
it Dy  faith.  7  This  is  proved  liy  the  statement 
concernintr  Abraham.  10  The  law  was  addeil 
because  of  transtrressions;  it  was  a  .schoolmas- 
ter to  brini?  us  to  Christ. 

I  0  » foolish  Galatians,  who  hath 
bewitched  you,  that  ye  should  not  obey 
''  the    truth,    before  whose  eyes  Jesus 

thera  near;  yea.  let  them  take  counsel 
together:  who  hath  declared  this  from 
ancient  time?  who  hath  told  it  from 
that  time?  have  not  I  the  Lord?  and 
there  is  no  God  else  beside  me;  a  just 
God  and  a  Savior;  there  is  none  be- 
side me. 

ISAIAH  liii:10  Yet  it  pleased  the 
Lord  to  bruise  him  [Christ];  he  hath 
put  him  to  grief:  when  thou  shalt 
make  his  soul  an  offering  for  sin.  he 
shall  see  his  seed,  he  shall  prolong  his 
days,  and  the  pleasure  of  the  Lord 
shall  prosper  in  his  hand. 

II  He  shall  see  of  the  travail  of 
his  soul,  and  shall  be  satisfied:  by  his 
knowledge  shall  my  righteous  servant 
justify  many;  for  he  shall  bear  their 
iniquities. 

ZECHARIAH  ix:9  Rejoice  greatly, 
O  daughter  of  Zion:  shout,  O  daughter 
of  Jerusalem:  behold,  thy  King  com- 
eth  unto  thee:  he  is  just,  and  having 
salvation:  lowly,  and  riding  upon  an 
ass.  and  upon  a  colt  the  foal  of  an  ass. 

PROVERBS  xiv:3  "In  the  mouth 
of  the  foolish  is  a  rod  of  pride:  but 
the  lips  of  the  wise  shall  preserve 
them. 


Christ    hath    been  evidently  set  forth, 
•  crucified  among  you? 

2  This  only  would  I  learn  of  you. 
Received  ye  ■"  the  Spirit  by  the  works 
of  the  law,  or  by  the  hearing  of  faith? 

3  Are  ye  so  foolish?  having  begun 
in  the  Spirit,  are  ye  now  made  perfect 
by  the  flesh? 

4  Have  ye  suffered  so  many  things 
in  vain?  if  it  be  yet  in  vain. 

5  He  therefore  that  ministereth  to 
you  the  Spirit,  and  worketh  miracles 
among  you,  doeth  he  it  by  the  works 
of  the  law,  or  by  '"  the  hearing  of

and  it  was  accounted  to  him  for  right-

which  are  of  faith,  the  same  are  the 
children  of  Abraham. 

8  And  the  Scripture,  foreseeing 
that  God  would  justify  the  heathen 
through  faith,  preached  before  the  gos-

9  So  then  they  which  be  of  faith

10  For  as  many  as  are  of  the  works 
of  the  law  are  under  the  curse:  for  it 
is  written,  ^  Cursed  is  every  one  that 
continueth  not  in  all  things  which  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the  law  to  do 
them.

the  law  in  the  sight  of  God,  it  is  evi- 
dent: for,  The  just  shall  live  by  faith.

against  them,  that  thou  [God]  might- 
est  bring  them  again  unto  thy  law: 
yet  they  dealt  proudly,  and  hearkened 
not  unto  thy  commandments,  but 
sinned  against  tny  judgments,  (which

AkMin-st  the  Promises. 


IG  Now  '  to  Abraham  and  his  seed 
were   the   promises   made.  He   saith 

not,  and  to  seeds,  as  of  many;  but  as 
of  one.  And  to  thy  seed,  which  is 
Christ. 

17  And  this  I  say,  that  the  cove- 
nant, that  was  confirmed  before  of 
God  in  Christ,  the  law,  which  was 
"'  four  hundred  and  thirty  years  after, 
cannot  disannul,  that  it  should  make 
the  promise  of  none  effect. 

IS    For  if  the  inheritance  be  of  the^ 
law,  it  is  no  more  of  promise:  but  God 
gave  it  to  Abraham  by  promise. 

19    Wherefore  then  serveth  the  law? 

29  And  also  upon  the  servants  and 
upon  the  handmaids  in  those  days 
will  I  pour  out  my  Spirit. 

ZECHARIAH'  xii:10  And  I  will 
pour  upon  the  house  of  David,  and  up- 
on the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem,  the 
spirit  of  grace  and  of  supplications: 
and  they  shall  look  upon  me  [Christ] 
whom  they  have  pierced,  and  they 
shall  mourn  for  him,  as  one  mourneth 
for  his  only  son,  and  shall  be  in  bit- 
terness for  him,  as  one  that  is  in  bit- 
terness for  his  firstborn.

them  that  bless  thee  [Abram],  and 
curse  him  that  curseth  thee:  and  in 
thee  shall  all  families  of  the  earth  be 
blessed. 

7  And  the  Lord  appeared  unto 
Abram,  and  said.  Unto  thy  seed  will 
I  give  this  land:  and  there  builded  he 
an  altar  unto  the  lyord,  who  appeared 
unto  him. 

GENESIS  xvii:7  And  I  will  estab- 
lish my  covenant  between  me  and  thee 
[.\braham]  and  thy  seed  after  thee  in

covenant,  to  be  a  God  unto  thee  and  to 
thy  seed  after  thee. 

EXODUS  xii:40  -"Now  the  sojourn- 
ing of  the  children  of  Israel,  who 
dwelt  in  Egypt,  was  four  hundred  and

41  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  end 
of  the  four  hundred  and  thirty  years, 
even  the  selfsame  day  it  came  to  pass, 
that  all  the  hosts  of  the  Lord  went 
out  from  the  land  of  Egj'pt.

It  was  added  because  of  transgressions, 
till  the  seed  should  come  to  whom  the 
I)romise  was  made;  and  it  was  or- 
dained by  angels  in  the  hand  "  of  a 
mediator. 

20  Now  a  mediator  is  not  a  media- 
tor of  one,  but  God  is  one. 

21  Is  the  law  then  against  the  pro- 
mises of  God?  God  forbid:  for  if 
there  had  been  a  law  given  which 
could  have  given  life,  verily  righteous- 
ness should  have  been  by  the  law. 

22  But  the  Scripture  hath  conclud- 
ed all  under  sin,  that  the  promise  by 
faith  of  Jesus  Christ  might  be  given 

with  us,  lest  we  die. 

21  And  the  people  stood  afar  off, 
and  Moses  drew  near  unto  the  thick 
darkness  where  God  was. 

22  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Thus  thou  Shalt  say  unto  the  children 
of  Israel,  Ye  have  seen  that  I  have 
talked  with  you  from  heaven. 

DEUTERONOMY  v:5  (I  [Moses] 
stood  between  the  Lord  and  you  at 
that  time,  to  shew  you  the  word  of 
the  Lord:  for  ye  were  afraid  by  rea- 
son of  the  fire,  and  went  not  up  into 
the  mount.)  saying, 

22  These  words  the  Lord  spake  un- 
to all  your  assemlily  in  the  mount  out 
of  the  midst  of  the  fire,  of  the  cloud, 
and  of  the  thick  darkness,  with  a  great 
voice;  and  he  added  no  more.  And  he 
wrote  them  in  two  tallies  of  stone,  and 
delivered  them  unto  me. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  ye 
heard  the  voice  out  of  the  midst  of 
the  darkness,  (for  the  mountain  did 
burn  with  fire,)  that  ye  came  near  un- 
to me,  even  all  the  heads  of  your 
tribes,  and  your  elders: 

27  Go  thou  near,  and  hear  all  that 
the  Lord  our  God  shall  say;  and  speak 
thou  unto  us  all  that  the  Lord  our 
God  shall  speak  unto  thee:  and  we 
will  hear  it,  and  do  it. 

31  But  as  for  thee  [Moses],  stand 
thou  here  by  me.  and  I  will  speak  un- 
to thee  all  the  commandments,  and 
the  statutes,  and  the  judgments,  which 
thou  shalt  teach  them,  that  they  may 
do  them  in  the  land  which  I  give  them 
to  possess  it.

23  But  before  faith  came,  we  were 
kept  under  the  law,  shut  up  unto  the 
faith  which  should  afterwards  be  re- 
vealed. 

24  Wherefore  the  law  was  our 
schoolmaster  to  bring  us  unto  Christ, 
that  we  might  be  justified  by  faith. 

25  But  after  that  faith  is  come,  we 
are  no  longer  under  a  schoolmaster. 

26  For  we  are  all  the  children  of 
God  by  faith  in  Christ  Jesus. 

27  For  as  many  of  you  as  have 
been  baptized  into  Christ  have  put  on 
Christ.

CHAPTER  IV. 

The  sacrificial  law  was  io  force  until  Christ 
was  sacrificed.  10  The  observance  of  the  feast 
days  in  the  Mosaic  law  ended  with  that  dispen- 
sation. 15  By  adoptintr  Mosaic  ordinances  we 
lose  the  grace  of  Christ.  19  Christ  must  be 
formed  within  us.  23  Bondage  to  the  law  illus- 
trated by  the  son  of  the  bond  woman,  Hagar; 
and  freedom  by  Isaac  through  whom  the  prom- 
ise was  given. 

1  Now  I  say,  that  the  heir,  as  long 
as  he  is  a  child,  differeth  nothing 
from  a  servant,  though  he  be  lord  of 
all; 

2  But  is  under  tutors  and  govern- 
ors until  the  time  appointed  of  the 
father. 

3  Even  so  we,  when  we  were  chil- 

this  bondwoman  [Hagar]  and  her 
son:  for  the  son  of  this  bondwoman 
shall  not  be  heir  with  my  son,  even 
with  Isaac.

dren,  were  in  bondage  under  the  ele- 
ments of  the  world: 

4  But  "  when  the  fulness  of  the 
time  was  come,  God  sent  forth  his 
Son,  made  •*  of  a  woman,  made  under 
the  law, 

5  To  redeem  them  that  were  under 
the  law,  that  we  might  receive  the 
adoption  of  sons. 

6  And  because  ye  are  sons,  God 
hath  sent  forth  the  Spirit  of  his  Son 
into  your  hearts,  crying,  Abba,  Fath- 
er. 

7  Wherefore  thou  art  no  more  a 
servant,  but  a  son;  and  if  a  son,  then 
an  heir  of  God  through  Christ. 

8  Howbeit  then,  when  ye  knew  not 
God,  ye  did  service  unto  them  which 
by  nature  are  no  gods. 

9  But  now,  after  that  ye  have 
known  God,  or  rather  are  'known  of 
God,  how  turn  ye  again  to  the  weak 
and  beggarly  elements,  whereunto  ye 
desire  again  to  be  in  bondage? 

10  Ye  observe  days,  and  months, 
and  times,  and  years. 

11  I  am  afraid  of  you,  lest  I  have 
bestowed  upon  you  labour  in  vain. 

12  Brethren,  I  beseech  you,  be  as 
I  am;  for  I  am  as  ye  are:  ye  have  not 
injured  me  at  all. 

13  Ye  know  how  through  infirmity 
of  the  flesh  I  preached  the  gospel  unto 
you  at  the  first.

ZECHARIAH  xii:8  In  that  day

GENESIS  xvl:15  "^  And  Hagar  bare 
.A.bram  a  son:  and  Abram  called 
his  son's  name,  which  Hagar  bare,

GENESIS  xxi:2  «•  For  Sarah  con- 
ceived and  bare  Abraham  a  son  in  his 
old  age.  at  the  set  time  of  which  God 


maid,  "  the  other  by  a  free  woman. 

23  But  he  who  was  of  the  bondwo- 
man was  born  after  the  flesh,  '  but  he 
of  the  free  woman  was  by  promise. 

24  Which  things  are  an  allegory: 
for  these  are  the  two  covenants;  the 
one  from  the  mount  '  Sinai,  which 
gendereth  to  bondage,  which  is 
Hagar. 

25  For  this  Hagar  is  mount  Sinai 
in  Arabia,  and  answereth  to  Jerusa- 
lem which  now  is,  and  is  in  bondage 
with  her  children. 

26  But  ''  Jerusalem  which  is  above 
is  free,  which  is  the  mother  of  us  all. 

27  For  it  is  written,  '  Rejoice,  thou 
barren  that  bearest  not;  break  forth 
and  cry,  thou  that  travailest  not:  for 
the  desolate  hath  many  more  children 
than  she  which  hath  a  husband. 

28  Now  we,  brethren,  as  Isaac  was, 
are  the  children  of  promise. 

29  But  as  then  J  he  that  was  born 
after     the    flesh    persecuted  him  that 

had  spoken  to  him. 

3  And  Abraham  called  the  name 
of  his  son  that  was  born  unto  him, 
whom  Sarah  bare  to  him,  Isaac. 

GENESIS  xviii:10  'And  he  said, 
I  will  certainly  return  unto  thee  ac-

Sarah  thy  wife  shall  have  a  son.

from  his  right  hand  went  a  fiery  law 
for  them. 

ISAIAH  ii:2  "And  it  shall  come

was  born  after  the  Spirit,  even  so  it 
is  now. 

30  Nevertheless  what  saith  the 
Scripture?  ^  Cast  out  tlie  bondwoman 
and  her  son:  for  the  son  of  the  bond- 
woman shall  not  be  heir  with  the  son 
of  the  free  woman. 

31  So  then,  brethren,  we  are  not 
children  of  the  bondwoman,  but  of 
the  free. 

CHAPTER  V. 

Freedom  in  Christ.  6  Circumcision  availeth 
nothing;  hut  faith  which  -vrorketh  by  love.  17 
The  flesh  and  the  Spirit  are  opposed  to  each 
other.  19  The  works  of  the  flesh.  22  The  fruit 
of  the  Spirit. 

1  Stand  fast  therefore  in  the  lib- 
erty wherewith  Christ  hath  made  us 
free,  and  be  not  entangled  again  with 
the  yoke  of  bondage. 

2  Behold,  I  Paul  say  unto  you,  that 
if  ye  be  circumcised,  Christ  shall  prof- 
it you  nothing. 

3  For  I  testify  again  to  every  man 
that  is. circumcised,  that  he  is  a  debt- 
or to  do  the  whole  law. 

4  Christ  is  become  of  no  effect  un- 
to you,  whosoever  of  you  are  justified 
by  the  law;   ye  are  fallen  from  grace. 

5  For  we  through  the  Spirit  wait 
for  the  hope  of  righteousness  by 
faith. 

6  For  '  in  Jesus  Christ  neither  cir- 
'cumcision  availeth  any  thing,  nor  un- 

the  son  of  Hagar  the  Egyptian,  which 
she  had  borne  unto  Abraham,  mocli- 
ing. 

GENESIS  xxi:10  ■=  Wherefore  she 
said  unto  Abraham,  Cast  out  this 
bondwoman  and  her  son:  for  the  son 
of  this  bondwoman  shall  not  be  heir 
with  my  son,  even  with  Isaac. 

12  And  God  said  unto  Abraham, 
Let  it  not  be  grievous  in  thy  sight  be- 
cause of  the  lad,  and  because  of  thy 
-  bondwoman;  in  all  that  Sarah  hath 
said  unto  thee,  hearken  unto  her 
voice;  for  in  Isaac  shall  thy  seed  be 
called. 

DEUTERONOMY  x:16  ^  Circum- 
cise therefore  the  foreskin  of  your 
heart,  and  be  no  more  stiffnecked. 

JEREMIAH  iv:4      Circumcise  your- 


circumcision;  but  faith  which  work- 
eth  by  love. 

7  Ye  did  run  well;  who  did  hinder 
you  that  ye  should  not  obey  the 
truth? 

8  This  persuasion  cometh  not  of 
him  that  calleth  you. 

9  A  little  leaven  leaveneth  the 
whole  lump. 

10  I  have  confidence  in  you 
through  the  Lord,  that  ye  will  be 
none  otherwise  minded:  but  he  that 
troubleth  you  shall  bear  his  judgment, 
whosoever  he  be. 

11  And  I,  brethren,  if  I  yet  preach 
'  circumcision,  why  do  I  yet  suffer 
persecution?  then  is  the  offence  of  the 
cross  ceased. 

12  I  would  they  were  even  cut  off 
which  '"  trouble  you. 

13  For,  brethren,  ye  have  been 
called  unto  liberty;  only  use  not  lib- 
erty for  an  occasion  to  the  flesh,  but 
by  love  serve  one  another. 

14  For  all  the  law  is  fulfilled  in 
one  word,  even  in  this;  °  Thou  shalt 
love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself. 

15  But  if  ye  bite  and  devour  one 
another,  take  heed  that  ye  be  not  con- 
sumed one  of  another. 

16  This  I  say  then,  °  Walk  in  the 
Spirit,  and  ye  shall  not  fulfill  the  lust 

selves  to  the  Lord,  and  take  away  the 
foreskins  of  your  heart,  ye  men  of  Ju- 
■  dah  and  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem; 
lest  my  fury  come  forth  like  fire,  and 
burn  that  none  can  quench  it,  because 
of  the  evil  of  your  doings. 

JOSHUA  vii:  25  "*  And  Joshua  said. 
Why  hast  thou  [Achan]  troubled  us?

and  burned  them  with  fire,  after  they 
had  stoned  them  with  stones. 

LEVITICUS  xix:18  "Thou  shalt

lusts  of  our  flesh,  fulfilling  the  desires 
of  the  flesh  and  of  the  mind;  and

us, 

5  Even  when  we  were  dead  in  sins, 
hath  quickened  us  together  with

who  sometime  were  far  off  are  made

6  Being  confident  of  this  very 
thing,  that  he  which  hath  begun  a 
good  work  in  you  will  perform  it  un-

7  Even  as  it  is  meet  for  me  to 
think  this  of  you  all,  because  I  have

my  bonds,  and  in  the  defence  and  con-

gospel;

manifest  in  all  the  palace,  and  in  all 
other  places;

but  Death  would  be  Gain. 


15  Some  indeed  preach  Christ  even 
of  envy  and  strife;  and  some  also  of 
good  will: 

16  The  one  preach  Christ  of  con- 
tention, not  sincerely,  supposing  to 
add  affliction  to  my  bonds: 

17  But  the  other  of  love,  knowing 
that  I  am  set  for  the  defence  of  the 
gospel. 

18  What  then?  notwithstanding, 
every  way,  whether  in  pretence,  or  in 
truth,  Christ  is  preached;  and  I  there- 
in '  do  rejoice,  yea,  and  will  rejoice. 

19  For  I  know  that  this  shall  turn 
to  my  salvation  through  your  prayer 
and  the  supply  of  « the  Spirit  of  Jesus 
Christ, 

20  According  to  my  earnest  expec- 
tation and  my  hope,  that  ^  in  nothing 
I  shall  be  ashamed,  but  that  with  all 
boldness,  as  always,  so  now  also 
Christ  shall  be  magnified  in  my  body, 
whether  it  be  by  life,  or  by  death. 

21  For  to  me  to  live  is  Christ,  and 
to  die  is  gain. 

22  But  if  I  live  in  the  flesh,  this  is 
the  fruit  of  my  labour:  yet  what  I 
shall  choose  I  wot  not. 

23  For  I  am  in  a  strait  betwixt  two, 
having  a  desire  to  depart,  and  to  be 
with  Christ;  which  is  far  better: 

24  Nevertheless  to  abide  in  the 
flesh  is  more  needful  for  you. 

25  And  having  this  confidence,  I 
know    that  I  shall  abide  and  continue

it  becometh  the  gospel  of  Christ:  that 
whether  I  come  and  see  you,  or  else 
be  absent,  I  may  hear  of  your  affairs, 
that  ye  stand  fast  in  one  spirit,  with, 
one  mind  striving  together  for  the

your  adversaries:  which  is  to  them  an 
evident  token  of  perdition,  but  to  you 
of  salvation,  and  that  of  God. 

29  For  unto  you  it  is  given  in  the 
behalf  of  Christ,  not  only  to  believe 
on  him,  but  also  to  suffer  for  his  sake;

assurance;  as  ye  know  what  manner

4  But  as  we  were  allowed  of  God 
to  be  put  in  trust  with  the  gospel,  ev- 
en so  we  speak;  ■"  not  as  pleasing 
men,  but  God,  which  '  trieth  our 
hearts. 

5  For  neither  at  any  time  used  we 
flattering  words,  as  ye  know,  nor  a 
cloak  of  covetousness;  God  is  witness: 

6  Nor  of  men  sought  we  glory,  nei- 
ther of  you,  nor  yet  of  others,  when 
we  might  have  been  burdensome,  as 
the  apostles  of  Christ. 

7  But  we  were  gentle  among  you, 
even  as  a  nurse  cherisheth  her  chil- 
dren: 

8  So  being  affectionately  desirous 
of  you,  we  were  willing  to  have  im- 
parted unto  you,  not  the  gospel  of  God 
only,  but  also  our  own  souls,  because 
ye  were  dear  unto  us. 

9  For  ye  remember,  brethren,  our 
labour  and  travail:  for  labouring 
night  and  day,  because  we  would  not 
be  chargeable  unto  any  of  you,  we 
preached  unto  you  the  gospel  of  God.

of  you,  as  a  father  doth  his  children, 

12  That  ye  would  walk  worthy  of 
God,  who  hath  called  you  unto  ^  his

13  For  this  cause  also  thank  we 
God  without  ceasing,  because,  when

worketh  also  in  j'ou  that  believe.

in  the  air:  and  so  shall  we  ever  be

CHAPTER  V. 

Christ's  coming.  13  Esteem  labourers  for 
their  work.    Itj  Divers  precepts. 

1  But  of  the  times  and  the  seasons, 
brethren,  ye  have  no  need  that  I  write 
unto  you. 

2  For  yourselves  know  perfectly 
that  the  day  of  the  Lord  so  cometh  as 
a  thief  in  the  night. 

3  For  when  they  shall  say,  Peace 
and  safety;  then  "  sudden  destruction 
cometh  upon  them,  ''  as  travail  upon 
a  woman  with  child;  and  they  shall 
not  escape. 

4  But  ye,  brethren,  are  not  in  dark- 
ness, that  that  day  should  overtake 
you  as  a  thief, 

5  Ye  are  all  the  *=  children  of  light, 

DANIEL  xii:2  ^Many  of  them 
that  sleep  in  the  dust  of  the  earth 
shall  awake. 

ISAIAH  xiii:6  »  Howl  ye;  for  the 
day  of  the  Lord  is  at  hand;  it  shall 
come  as  a  destruction  from  the  Al- 
mighty. 

7  Therefore  shall  all  hands  be 
faint,  and  every  man's  heart  shall 
melt: 

8  And  they  shall  be  afraid:  pangs 
and  sorrows  shall  take  hold  of  them; 
they  shall  be  in  pain  as  a  woman  that 
travaileth:  they  shall  be  amazed  one 
at  another;  their  faces  shall  be  as 
flames. 

9  Behold,  the  day  of  the  Lord  com- 
eth, cruel  both  with  wrath  and  fierce 
anger,  to  lay  the  land  desolate:  and  he 
shall  destroy  the  sinners  thereof  out 
of  it. 

JEREMIAH  xiii:21  "What  wilt 
thou  say  when  he  shall  punish  thee? 
loT  thou  hast  taught  them  to  be  cap-

and     the    children  of  the  day:    we  are 
not  of  *^  the  night,  nor  of  darkness. 

6  Therefore  let  us  not  sleep,  as  do 
others;  but  let  us  watch  and  be  sober. 

7  For  they  that  sleep  sleep  in  the 
night;  and  they  that  be  drunken  are 
drunken  in  the  night. 

8  But  let  us,  who  are  of  the  day, 
be  sober,  ''  putting  on  the  breastplate 
of  faith  and  love;  and  for  a  helmet, 
the  hope  of  salvation. 

9  For  God  hath  not  appointed  us 
'  to  wrath,  but  to  obtain  salvation  by 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 

10  Who  died  for  us,  that,  whether 
we  wake  or  sleep,  we  should  live  to- 
gether with  him. 

11  Wherefore  comfort  yourselves 
together,  and  edify  one  another,  even 
as  also  ye  do. 

12  And  we  beseech  you,  brethren, 
to  know  them  which  labour  among 
you,  and  are  over  you  in  the  Lord,  and 
admonish  you; 

13  And  to  esteem  them  very  highly 
in  love  for  their  work's  sake.  And  be 
s  at  peace  among  yourselves. 

sorrows  take  thee,  as  a  woman  in  tra- 
vail? 

ROSEA  xiii:13  The  sorrows  of  a 
travailing  woman  shall  come  upon 
him  [Ephraim]:  he  is  an  unwise  son; 
for  he  should  not  stay  long  in  the 
place  of  the  breaking  forth  of  chil- 
dren. 

PROVERBS  iv:18  <=  But  the  path 
of  the  just  is  as  the  shining  light,  that 
shineth  more  and  more  unto  the  per- 
fect day. 

JOB  xii:25  "They  grope  in  the 
dark  without  light,  and  he  maketh 
them  to  stagger  like  a  drunken  man. 

ISAIAH  lix:17  "For  he  put  on 
righteousness  as  a  breastplate,  and  a 
helmet  of  salvation  upon  his  head; 
and  he  put  on  the  garments  of  venge- 
ance for  clothing,  and  was  clad  with 
zeal  as  a  cloak. 

PSALM  ii:12  'Kiss  the  Son,  lest 
he  be  angry,  and  ye  perish  from  the 
way,  when  his  wrath  is  kindled  but  a 
little.  Blessed  are  all  they  that  put 
their  trust  in  him.

1  Finally,  brethren,  "  pray  for  us, 
that  the  word  of  the  Lord  may  have 
free  course,  and  be  glorified,  even  as 
it  is  with  you: 

2  And  that  we  may  be  delivered 
from  ''unreasonable  and  .wicked  men: 
for  all  men  have  not  faith. 

3  But  the  Lord  is  faithful,  who 
shall  stablish  you,  and  keep  you  from 
evil. 

4  And  we  have  confidence  in  the 
Lord  touching  you,  that  ye  both  do 
and  will  do  the  things  which  we  com- 
mand you. 

5  And  the  Lord  direct  your  hearts 
into  the  "^  love  of  God,  and  into  the 
patient  waiting  for  Christ. 

6  Now  we  command  you,  brethren, 
in  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
that  ^  ye  withdraw  yourselves  from 
every  brother  that  walketh  disordorly, 
and  not  after  the  tradition  which  he 
received  of  us. 

7  For  yourselves  know  how  ye 
ought  to  follow  us:  for  we  behaved 
not  ourselves  disorderly  among  you; 

8  Neither  did  we  eat  any  man's 
bread  for  nought;  but  wrought  with 
labour  and  travail  night  and  day,  that 
we  might  not  be  chargeable  to  any  of 
you: 

JEREMIAH  xxix:12  » Then  shall 
ye  call  upon  me,  and  ye  shall  go  and 
pray  unto  me,  and  I  will  hearken  unto 
you. 

ISAIAH  X:l  "  Woe  unto  them  that 
decree  unrighteous  decrees,  and  that 
write  grievousness  which  they  have 
prescribed; 

PROVERBS  viii:17  'I  [God]  love 
them  that  love  me;  and  those  that 
seek  me  early  shall  find  me. 

PROVERBS  xxix: 3  '' Whoso  loveth

thy  face  shalt  thou  eat  bread,  till  thou 
return  unto  the  ground;  for  out  of  it 
wast  thou  taken:  for  dust  thou  art, 
and  unto  dust  shalt  thou  return. 


9  Not  because  we  have  not  power, 
but  to  make  ourselves  an  ensample 
unto  you  to  follow  us. 

10  For  even  when  we  were  with 
you,  this  we  commanded  you,  that  "  if 
any  would  not  work,  neither  should 
he  eat. 

11  For  we  hear  that  there  are  some 
which  walk  among  you  '  disorderly, 
working  not  at  all,  but  are  busybodies. 

12  Now  them  that  are  such  we 
command  and  exhort  by  our  Lord  Je- 
sus Christ,  that  with  quietness  they 
work,  and  eat  their  own  bread. 

13  But  ye,  brethren,  be  not  weary 
in  well  doing. 

14  And  if  any  man  obey  not  our 
word  by  this  epistle,  note  that  man, 
and  have  no  company  with  him,  that 
he  may  be  ashamed. 

15  « Yet  count  him  not  as  an  en- 
emy, but  admonish  him  as  a  brother. 

16  Now  the  ''  Lord  of  peace  himself 
give  you  peace  always  by  all  means. 
The  Lord  be  with  you  all.

FIRST   TIMOTHT. 


CHAPTER  I. 

Paul  gives  the  chartre  to  Timothy  as  pastor  at 
Ephesus.  15  The  special  mission  of  Christ  is 
to  save  sinners. 

1  Paul,  an  apostle  of  Jesus  Christ 
by  the  commandment  of  God  our  Sav- 
ior, and  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  which  is 
»  our  hope; 

2  Unto  Timothy,  my  own  son  in 
the  faith:  •'Grace,  ''mercy,  and  **  peace, 
from  God  our  Father,  and  Jesus 
Christ  our  Lord. 

3  As  I  besought  thee  to  abide  still 
at  Ephesus,  when  I  went  into  Mace- 
donia, that  thou  mightest  charge  some 
that  they  teach  no  other  doctrine, 

4  Neither  give  heed  to  '"  fables  and 
endless  genealogies,  which  minister 
questions,  rather  than  godly  edifying 
which  is  in  faith:   so  do. 

PROVERBS  x:28  "The  hope  of 
the  righteous  shall  be  gladness:  but 
the  expectation  of  the  wicked  shall 
perish. 

PROVERBS  iii:34  »*  Surely  he 
scorneth  the  scorners:  but  he  giveth 
grace  unto  the  lowly. 

ISAIAH  xxx:18  <=  And  therefore 
will  the  Lord  wait,  that  he  may  be 
gracious  unto  you,  and  therefore  will 
he  be  exalted,  that  he  may  have  mercy 
upon  you:  for  the  Lord  is  a  God  of 
judgment:  blessed  are  all  they  that 
wait  for  him. 

ISAIAH  xlviii:18  -JO  that  thou 
hadst  hearkened  to  my  command- 
ments! then  had  thy  peace  been  as  a 
river,  and  thy  righteousness  as  the 
waves  of  the  sea: 

-JEREMIAH  xxiii:32  ''Behold,  I 
am  against  them  that  prophesy  false 
dreams,  saith  the  Lord,  and  do  tell 
them,  and  cause  my  people  to  err  by 
their  lies,  and  by  their  lightness:  yet 
I  sent  them  not,  nor  commanded 
them:  therefore  they  shall  not  profit 
this  people  at  all,  saith  the  Lord. 


5  Now  the  end  of  the  command- 
ment is  '  love  out  of  a  »  pure  heart, 
and  of  a  good  conscience,  and  of  faith 
unfeigned: 

6  From  which  some  having  swerved 
have  turned  aside  unto  vain  jangling; 

7  Desiring  to  be  teachers  of  the 
law;  understanding  neither  what  they 
say,  nor  whereof  they  affirm. 

8  But  we  know  that  ^  the  law  is 
good,  if  a  man  use  it  lawfully; 

9  Knowing  this,  that  the  law  is  riot 
made  for  a  righteous  man,  but  for  the 
lawless  and  disobedient,  for  the  ungod- 
ly and  for  sinners,  for  unholy  and 
profane,  '  for  murderers  of  fathers 
and  murderers  of  mothers,  for  man- 
slayers, 

10  1  For      whoremongers,  for  them 

LEVITICUS  xix:18  *  Thou  shalt 
not  avenge,  nor  bear  any  grudge 
against  the  children  of  thy  people,  but 
thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thy- 
self:  I  am  the  Lord. 

PSALM  xviii:26  ^With  the  pure 
thou  wilt  shew  thyself  pure;  and  with 
the  froward  thou  wilt  shew  thyself 
froward. 

PSALM  xix:7  "^  The  law  of  the 
Lord  is  perfect,  converting  the  soul: 
the  testimony  of  the  Lord  is  sure, 
making  wise  the  simple. 

GENESIS  ix:6  '  Whoso  shedeth 
man's  blood,  by  man  shall  his  blood 
be  shed:  for  in  the  image  of  God 
made  he  man.

shall  take  no  satisfaction  for  the  life 
of  a  murderer,  which  is  guilty  of 
death:  but  he  shall  be  surely  put  to 
death. 

JEREMIAH  xiii:27  J  I  have  seen 
thine  adulteries,  and  thy  neighings, 
the  lewdness  of  thy  whoredom,  and 
thine  abominations  on  the  hills  in  the

In  spirit.  In  faith,  in  purity.

15  Meditate  upon  these  things; 
give  thyself  wholly  to  them;  that  thy

16  Take  heed  unto  thyself,  and  un-

shew  piety  at  home,  and  ''  to  requite

6  But  she  that  liveth  in  pleasure  is 
dead  while  she  liveth.

God,  which  is  in  thee  by  the  putting  on

10  Therefore  I  endure  all  things  for 
the  elect's  sake,  that  they  may  also 
obtain  the  salvation  which  is  in  Christ 
Jesus  with  eternal  glory.

we  be  dead  with  him,  we  shall  also  live 
with  him:

will  not  endure  sound  doctrine;  but 
after  their  own  lusts  shall  they  heap

^  ears  from  the  truth,  and  shall  be

Obedience  due  to  Christ.  T  He  is  crowned 
with  Klory  and  honor,  hi  He  took  on  hiniselt 
the  seed  of  Abraham,  that  he  mitrht  be  a  mer- 
ciful and  faithful  hi^'h  priest. 

1  Therefore  we  ought  to  give  the 
more  earnest  heed  to  the  things  which 
we  have  heard,  lest  at  any  time  we 
should  let  them  slip. 

2  For  if  the  word  '  spoken  by  an- 
gels was  steadfast,  and  ^  every  trans- 
gression   and    disobedience  received  a 

hands,  lest  thou  dash  thy  foot  against 
a  stone. 

PSALM  ciii:20  Bless  the  Lord,  ye 
his  angels,  that  excel  in  strength,  that 
do  his  commandments,  hearkening  un- 
to the  voice  of  his  word. 

21  Bless  ye  the  Lord,  all  ye  his 
hosts;  ye  ministers  of  his,  that  do  his 
pleasure. 

22  Bless  the  Lord,  all  his  works  in 
all  places  of  his  dominion:  bless  the 
Lord,  0  my  soul. 

DANIEL  iii:2S  Then  Nebuchadnez- 
zar spake,  and  said,  Blessed  be  the  God 
of  Shadrach,  Meshach,  and  Abed-nego, 
who  hath  sent  his  angel,  and  delivered 
his  servants  that  trusted  in  him,  and 
have  changed  the  king's  word,  and 
yielded  their  bodies,  that  they  might 
not  serve  nor  worship  any  god,  except 
their  own  God. 

DANIEL  vii:10  Thousand  thousands 
ministered  unto  him  [Christ]  and  ten 
thousand  times  ten  thousand  stood  be- 
fore him. 

DANIEL  x:10  And,  behold,  a  hand 
touched  me,  which  set  me  upon  my 
knees  and  upon  the  palms  of  my  hands. 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  O  Daniel, 
a  man  greatly  beloved,  understand  the 
words  that  I  speak  unto  thee,  and 
stand  upright:  for  unto  thee  am  I  now 
sent.  And  when  he  had  spoken  this 
word  unto  me,  I  stood  trembling. 

PSALM  lxviii:17  'The  chariots  of 
God  are  twenty  thousand,  even  thou- 
sands of  angels:  the  Lord  is  among 
them,  as  in  Sinai,  in  the  holy  place. 

NUMBERS  xv:30  "But  the  soul 
that  doeth  aught  presumptuously, 
whether  he  be  born  in  the  land,  or  a 
stranger,  the  same  reproacheth  the 
Lord:  and  that  soul  shall  be  cut  off 
from  among  his  people. 

31  Because  he  hath  despised  the 
word  of  the  Lord,  and  hath  broken  his  * 


just  recompense  of  reward; 

3  How  shall  we  escape,  if  we  neg- 
lect so  great  "^^  salvation;  which  at  the 
first  began  to  be  spoken  by  the  Lord, 
and  was  confirmed  unto  us  by  them 
that  heard  him; 

4  God  also  bearing  them  witness, 
both  with  signs  and  wonders,  and  with 
divers  miracles,  and  gifts  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  according  to  his  own  will? 

5  For  unto  the  angels  hath  he  not 

commandment,  that  soul  shall  utterly 
be  cut  off;  his  iniquity  shall  be  upon 
him. 

DEUTERONOMY  iv:3  Your  eyes 
have  seen  what  the  Lord  did  because 
of  Baal-peor:  for  all  the  men  that  fol- 
lowed Baal-peor,  the  Lord  thy  God 
hath  destroyed  them  from  among  vou. 

DEUTERONOMY  xvii:2  If  there 
be  found  among  you,  within  any  of  thy 
gates  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth 
thee,  man  or  woman,  that  hath 
wrought  wickedness  in  the  sight  of  the 
Lord  thy  God,  in  transgressing  hia 
covenant, 

3  And  hath  gone  and  served  other 
gods,  and  worshipped  them,  either  the 
sun,  or  moon,  or  any  of  the  host  of 
heaven,  which  I  have  not  commanded; 

4  And  it  be  told  thee,  and  thou  hast 
iheard  of  it,  and  inquired  diligently, 
and,  behold,  it  be  true,  and  the  thing 
certain,  that  such  abomination  is 
wrought  in  Israel: 

5  Then  shalt  thou  bring  forth  that 
man  or  that  woman,  which  have  com- 
mitted that  wicked  thing,  unto  thy 
gates,  even  that  man  or  that  woman, 
and  Shalt  stone  them  with  stones,  till 
they  die. 

12  And  the  man  that  will  do  pre- 
sumptuously, and  will  not  hearken  un- 
to the  priest  that  standeth  to  minis- 
ter there  before  the  Lord  thy  God.  or 
unto  the  judge,  even  that  man  shall 
die:  and  thou  shalt  put  away  the  evil 
from  Israel. 

DEUTERONOMY  xxvii:26  Cursed 
be  he  that  confirmeth  not  all  the  words 
of  this  law  to  do  them:  and  all  the 
people  shall  say.  Amen. 

ISAIAH  xlv:17  <^  But  Israel  shall 
be  saved  in  the  Lord  with  an  everlast- 
ing salvation:  ye  shall  not  be  ashamed 
nor  confounded  world  without  end.

6  But  one  in  a  certain  place  testi- 
fied, saying,  ''  What  is  man,  that  thou 
art  mindful  of  him?  or  the  son  of  man, 
that  thou  visitest  him? 

7  Thou  madest  him  a  little  lower 
than  the  angels;  thou  crownest  him 
with  glory  and  honour,  and  didst  set 
him  over  the  works  of  thy  hands: 

8  Thou  hast  put  all  things  in  sub- 
jection under  his  feet.  For  in  that  he 
put  all  in  subjection  under  him,  he 
left  nothing  that  is  not  put  under  him. 
But  now  we  see  not  yet  all  things  put 
under  him. 

9  But  we  see  Jesus,  "  who  was  made 
a  little  lower  than  the  angels  for  the 
suffering  of  death,  crowned  with  glory 
and  honour;  that  he  by  the  grace  of 
God  should  taste  death  for  every  man. 

10  For  it  became  him,  for  whom  are 
all  things,  and  by  whom  are  all  things, 
in  bringing  many  sons  unto  glory,  to 
make  the  captain  of  their  salvation 
perfect  through  sufferings. 

11"  For  both  he  that  sanctifieth  and 
they  who  are  sanctified  are  all  of  one: 
for  which  cause  he  is  not  ashamed  to 
call  them  brethren. 

12  Saying,  '  I  will  declare  thy 
name  unto  my  brethren,  in  the  midst 
of  the  church  will  I  sing  praise  unto 
thee. 

JOB  vii:17  *  What  is  man,  that

PSALM  viii:4  « What  is  man,  that 
thou  [God]  art  mindful  of  him?  and 
the  son  of  man,  that  thou  visitest  him? 

5  For  thou  hast  made  him  a  little

crowned  him  with  glory  and  honour. 
'  PSALM  cxlv:3  '  Great  is  the  Lord;

PSALM  xxii:22  I  will  declare  thy

children  which  God  hath  given  me. 

14  Forasmuch  then  as  the  children 
are  partakers  of  flesh  and  blood,  he  al- 
so himself  likewise  took  part  of  the 
same;  that  through  death  he  might 
destroy  him  that  had  the  power  of 
death,  that  is,  the  devil; 

15  And  deliver  them,  who  through 
fear  of  death  were  all  their  lifetime 
subject  to  bondage. 

16  For  verily  he  took  not  on  him 
the  nature  of  angels;  but  he  took  on 
him  the  seed  of  Abraham. 

17  Wherefore  in  all  things  it  be- 
hooved him  to  be  made  like  unto  his 
brethren,  that  he  might  be  a  merciful 
and  faithful  high  priest  in  things  per- 
taining to  God,  to  make  reconciliation 
for  the  sins  of  the  people. 

18  For  in  that  he  himself  hath  suf- 
fered being  tempted,  he  is  able  to  suc- 
cour them  that  are  tempted. 

CHAPTER  III. 

Christ  is  more  worthy  than  Moses.  7  As  those 
persons  who  murmured  against  Moses  were  cut 
off  in  the  wilderness,  to  reject  Christ  a  more, 
fearful  punishment  will  be  visited  upon  us. 

1  Wherefore,  holy  brethren,  par- 
takers of  the  heavenly  calling,  consid- 
er the  Apostle  and  High  Priest  of  our 
profession,  Christ  Jesus;

vows  before  them  that  fear  him.

II.  SAMUEL  xxiii:2  -The  Spirit

his  word  was  in  my  tongue. 

PSALM  cv:7  'He  is  the  Lord  our

ways err  in  their  heart;  and  they  have 
not  known  my  ways. 

11  So  I  swear  in  my  wrath,  They 
shall  not  enter  into  my  rest. 

12  Take  heed,  brethren,  lest  there 
be  in  any  of  you  an  evil  heart  of  unbe- 
lief, in  departing  from  the  living  God. 

13  But  exhort  one  another  daily, 
while  it  is  called  To  day;  lest  any  of 
you  be  hardened  through  the  deceitful- 
ness  of  sin. 

14  For  we  are  made  partakers  of 
Christ,  if  we  hold  the  beginning  of  our 
confidence  steadfast  unto  the  end; 

15  While  it  is  said,  To  day  if  ye 
will  hear  his  voice,  harden  not  your 
hearts,  as  in  the  provocation. 

16  "^  For  some,  when  they  had 
heard,  did  provoke:  howbeit  not  all 
that  came  out  of  Egypt  by  Moses. 

17  But  with  whom  was  he  grieved 
forty  years?  was  it  not  with  them  that 

son  of  Nun. 

DEUTERONOMY  1:34  "^  And  the 
Lord  heard  the  voice  of  your  words, 
and  was  wroth,  and  sware,  saying, 

35  Surely  there  shall  not  one  of 
these  men  of  this  evil  generation  see 
that  good  land,  which  I  sware  to  give 
unto  your  fathers, 

36  Save  Caleb  the  son  of  Jephun- 
neh;  he  shall  see  it,  and  to  him  will  I 
give  the  land  that  he  hath  trodden  up- 
on, and  to  his  children,  because  he 
hath  wholly  followed  the  Lord. 

37  Also  the  Lord  was  angry  with 
me  for  your  sakes,  saying.  Thou  also 
shalt  not  go  in  thither. 

38  But  Joshua  the  son  of  Nun, 
which  standeth  before  thee,  he  shall 
go  in  thither:  encourage  him:  for  he 
shall  cause  Israel  to  inherit  it. 

NUMBERS  xiv:22  '  Because  all 
those  men  which  have  seen  my  glory, 
and  my  miracles,  which  I  did  in  Egypt 
and  in  the  wilderness,  and  have 
tempted  me  now  these  ten  times,  and 
have  not  hearkened  to  my  voice; 

23  Surely  they  shall  not  see  the 
land  which  I  sware  unto  their  fathers, 
neither  shall  any  of  them  that  pro- 
voked me  see  it:

18  And  ■*  to  whom  sware  he  that 
they  should  not  enter  into  his  rest,  but 
to  them  that  believed  not? 

19  So  we  see  that  they  could  not 
enter  in  because  of  unbelief.

1  Let  us  therefore  fear,  lest,  a 
promise  being  left  us  of  entering  into 
his  rest,  any  of  you  should  seem  to 
come  short  of  it. 

2  For  unto  us  was  the  gospel 
preached,  as  well  as  unto  them:  but 
the  word  preached  did  not  profit  them, 
not  being  mixed  with  faith  in  them 
that  heard  it. 

3  For  we  which  have  believed  do 
enter  into  rest,  as  he  said,  "  As  I  have 
sworn  in  my  wrath,  if  they  shall  enter

left  a  man  of  them,  save  Caleb  the  son 
of  Jephunneh,  and  Joshua  the  son  of 
Nun. 

PSALM  cvi:25  But  [they]  mur- 
mured in  their  tents,  and  hearkened 
not  unto  the  voice  of  the  Lord. 

26  Therefore  he  lifted  up  his  hand 
against  them,  to  overthrow  them  in 
the  wilderness:

God  created  and  made.

among  men  is  ordained  for  men  in 
things  pertaining  to  God,  that  he  may 
offer  both  gifts  and  sacrifices  for  sins:

ignorant,  and  on  them  that  are  out  of

compassed  with  infirmity.

as  for  the  people,  so  also  for  himself, 
to  offer  for  sins.

Philistines  gathered  themselves  to-

12  Therefore  said  I,  The  Philistines 
will  come  down  now  upon  me  to  Gil- 
gal,  and  I  have  not  made  supplication 
unto  the  Lord:  I  forced  myself  there- 
fore, and   offered  a  burnt  offering.

hast  done  foolishly:  thou  hast  not 
kept  the  commandment  of  the  Lord

no  greater,  he  sware  by  himself,

him; 

2  "^  To  whom  also  Abraham  gave  a 
tenth  part  of  all;  first  being  by  inter- 
pretation "  King  of  righteousness,  and 
after  that  also  •*  King  of  Salem,  which 
is,  <■  King  of  peace; 

3  Without  father,  without  mother, 
without  descent,  having  neither  begin- 
ning of  days,  nor  end  of  life;  but  made 
like  unto  the  Son  of  God;  abideth  a 
priest  continually. 

4  Now  consider  how  great  this 
man  was,  unto  whom  even  the 
patriarch  Abraham  gave  the  tenth  of 
the  spoils. 

5  And  verily  *  they  that  are  of  the 
sons  of  Levi,  who  receive  the  office  of 
the  priesthood,  have  a  commandment 
to  take  tithes  of  the  people  according 
to  the  law,  that  is,  of  their  brethren, 
though  they  come  out  of  the  loins  of 
Abraham: 

6  But  he  whose  descent  is  not 
counted  from  them  received  tithes  of 
Abraham,  and  blessed  him  that  had 
the  promises. 

7  And  without  all  contradiction  the 
less  is  blessed  of  the  better. 

8  And  here  men  that  die  receive 
tithes;  but  there  he  receiveth  them,  of 
whom  it  is  witnessed  that  he  liveth. 

9  And  as  I  may  so  say,  Levi  also, 
who     receiveth     tithes,    paid  tithes  in 

GENESIS  xiv:20  "And  blessed  be 
the  most  high  God,  which  hath  deliv- 
ered thine  enemies  into  thy  hand. 
And  he  gave  him  tithes  of  all.

10  For  he  was  yet  in  the  loins  of 
his  father,  when  Melchisedec  met  him. 

11  If  therefore  perfection  were  by 
the  Levitical  priesthood,  (for  under  it 
the  people  received  the  law,)  what 
further  need  was  there  that  another 
priest  should  rise  after  the  order  of 
Melchisedec,  and  not  be  called  after 
the  order  of  Aaron? 

12  For  the  priesthood  being 
changed,  there  is  made  of  necessity  a 
change  also  of  the  law. 

13  For  he  of  whom  these  things  are 
spoken  pertaineth  to  another  tribe,  of 
which  no  man  gave  attendance  at  the 
altar. 

14  For  it  is  evident  that  «our  Lord 
sprang  out  of  Judah;  of  which  tribe 
Moses  spake  nothing  concerning 
priesthood. 

15  And  it  is  yet  far  more  evident: 
for  that  after  the  similitude  of  Mel- 
chisedec there  ariseth  another  priest, 

16  Who  is  made,  not  after  the  law 
of  a  carnal  commandment,  but  after 
the  power  of  an  endless  life. 

17  For  he  testifieth,  ''Thou  art  a 
priest  for  ever  after  the  order  of  Mel- 
chisedec. 

18  For  there  is  verily  a  disannull- 
ing of  the  commandment  going  before 
for  the  weakness  and  unprofitableness 
thereof. 

I  have  given  the  children  of  Levi  all 
the  tenth  in  Israel  for  an  inheritance, 
for  their  service  which  they  serve, 
even  the  service  of  the  tabernacle  of 
the  congregation.

19  For  the  law  made  nothing  per- 
fect, but  the  bringing  in  of  a  better 
hope  did;  by  the  which  we  draw  nigh 
unto  God. 

20  And  inasmuch  as  not  without  an 
oath  he  was  made  priest: 

21  (For  those  priests  were  made 
without  an  oath;  but  this  with  an  oath 
by  him  that  said  unto  him,  The  Lord 
sware  and  will  not  repent,  Thou  art 
a  priest  for  ever  after  the  order  of 
Melchisedec:) 

22  By  so  much  was  Jesus  made  a 
surety  of  a  better  testament. 

23  And  they  truly  were  many 
priests,  because  they  were  not  suffered 
to  continue  by  reason  of  death: 

24  But  this  man,  because  '  he  con- 
tinueth  ever,  hath  an  unchangeable 
priesthood. 

25  Wherefore  he  is  able  also  to 
save  them  to  the  uttermost  that  come 
unto  God  by  him,  seeing  he  ever  liv- 
€th  to  make  intercession  for  them. 

26  For  such  a  high  priest  became 
us,  who  is  holy,  harmless,  undefiled, 
separate  from  sinners,  and  made  high- 
er than  the  heavens; 

27  Who  needeth  not  daily,  as  those 
high  priests,  to  offer  up  sacrifice,  >  first 
for    his    own    sins,  "  and  then  for  the 

ISAL\H  ix:6  '  Unto  us  a  child  [Je- 
sus] is  born,  unto  us  a  son  is  given, 
and  the  government  shall  be  upon  his 
shoulder:  and  his  name  shall  be  called 
Wonderful,  Counsellor,  The  mighty 
God,  The  everlasting  Father,  The 
Prince  of  Peace. 

7  Of  the  increase  of  his  govern- 
ment and  peace  there  shall  be  no  end. 

LEVITICUS  ix  7  i  And  Moses  said 
iiuto  Aaron,  Go  unto  the  altar,  and  of- 
fer thy  sin  offering,  and  thy  burnt  of- 
fering, and  make  an  atonement  for 
thyself,  and  for  the  people:  and  offer 
the  offering  of  the  people,  and  make 
an  atonement  for  them;  as  the  Lord 
commanded. 

8  Aaron  therefore  went  unto  the  al- 
tar, and  slew  the  calf  of  the  sin  offer- 
ing, which  was  for  himself. 

LEVITICUS  xvi:6  And  Aaron  shall 


people's:  for  this  he  did  once,  when 
he  offered  up  himself. 

28  For  the  law  maketh  men  high 
priests  which  have  infirmity;  but  the 
word  of  the  oath,  which  was  since  the 
law,  maketh  the  Son,  who  is  conse- 
crated for  evermore. 

CHAPTER  VIII. 

The  i>riesthood  of  Christ  supersedes  the  Let- 
vitical  iiriesihood.  8  The  chanw  in  the  priest- 
hood reciuired  a  change  in  the  covenant  vhich 
was  promised  bv  God. 

1  Now  of  the  things  which  we  have 
spoken  this  is  the  sum:  We  have  such 
a  high  priest,  who  is  set  on  the  right 
hand  of  the  throne  of  the  Majesty  in 
the  heavens; 

2  A  minister  of  the  sanctuary,  and 
of  the  true  tabernacle,  which  the  Lord 
pitched,  and  not  man. 

3  For  every  high  priest  is  ordained 
to  offer  gifts  and  sacrifices:  wherefore 
it  is  of  necessity  that  this  man  have 
somewhat  also  to  offer. 

4  For  if  he  were  on  earth,  he 
should  not  be  a  priest,  seeing  that 
there  are  priests  that  offer  gifts  ac- 
cording to  the  law: 

5  Who  serve  unto  the  example  and 
shadow  of  heavenly  things,  as  Moses 
was  admonished  of  God  when  he  was 
about     to     make    the  tabernacle:   for, 

offer  his  bullock  of  the  sin  offering, 
which  is  for  himself,  and  make  an 
atonement  for  himself,  and  for  his 
house. 

11  And  Aaron  shall  bring  the  bul- 
lock of  the  sin  offering,  which  is  for 
himself,  and  shall  make  an  atonement 
for  himself,  and  for  his  house,  and 
shall  kill  the  bullock  of  the  sin  offer- 
ing, which  was  for  himself. 

LEVITICUS  xvi:  15  "  Then  shall  he 
kill  the  goat  of  the  sin  offering,  that 
is  for  the  people,  and  bring  his  blood

as  he  did  with  the  blood  of  the  bul- 
lock, and  sprinkle  it  upon  the  mercy 
seat,  and  before  the  mercy  seat:

that  the  way  into  the  holiest  of  all 
was  not  yet  made  manifest,  while  as 
the  first  tabernacle  was  yet  standing:

both  gifts  and  sacrifices,  that  could

continual  burnt  offering. 

DANIEL  viii:ll  Yea,  he  [an  evil 
ruler]  magnified  himself  even  to  the 
prince  of  the  host,  and  by  him  the 
daily  sacrifice  was  taken  away,  and

down.

himself,  and  shall  make  an  atonement 
for  himself,  and  for  his  house,  and 
shall  kill  the  bullock  of  the  sin  offer-

12  And  he  shall  take  a  censer  full 
of  burning  coals  of  fire  from  off  the

priest  of  good  things  to  come,  by  a 
greater  and  more  perfect  tabernacle, 
not  made  with  hands,  that  is  to  say, 
not  of  this  building; 

12  Neither  by  the  blood  of  goats 
and  calves,  but  by  his  own  blood  he 
entered  in  once  into  the  holy  place,

vail,  and  do  with  that  blood  as  he  did 
with  the  blood  of  the  bullock,  and 
sprinkle  it  upon  the  mercy  seat,  and

the  purifying  of  the  flesh; 

14  How  much  more  shall  the  blood 
of  Christ,  who  through  the  eternal 
Spirit  offered  himself  without  spot  to 
God,  purge  your  conscience  from  dead 
works  to  serve  the  living  God? 

15  And  for  this  cause  he  is  the 
mediator  of  the  new  testament,  that 
by  means  of  death,  for  the  redemption 
of  the  transgressions  that  were  under 
the  first  testament,  they  which  are 
called  might  receive  the  promise  of 
eternal  inheritance. 

16  For  where  a  testament  is,  there 
must  also  of  necessity  be  the  death  of 
the  testator.

sions in  all  their  sins:  and  so  shall  he

blood. 

19  For  '  when  Moses  had  spoken

people,

22  And  almost  all  things  are  by 
the  law  purged  with  blood;  and 
"  without  shedding  of  blood  is  no  re- 
mission. 

23  It  was  therefore  necessary  that 
the  patterns  of  things  in  the  heavens 
should  be  purified  with  these;  but  the 
heavenly  things  themselves  with  bet- 
ter sacrifices  than  these. 

24  For  Christ  is  not  entered  into 
the  holy  places  made  with  hands, 
which  are  the  figures  of  the  true;  but 
into  heaven  itself,  now  to  appear  in 
the  presence  of  God  for  us: 

25  Nor  yet  that  he  should  offer 
himself  often,  as  the  high  priest  en- 
tereth  into  the  holy  place  every  year 
with  blood  of  others; 

26  For  then  must  he  often  have 
suffered  since  the  foundation  of  the 
world:  but  now  once  in  the  end  of 
the  world  hath  he  appeared  to  put 
away  sin   by  the  sacrifice  of  himself.

the  blood  of  the  bullock,  and  sprinkle 
it  upon  the  mercy  seat,  and  before

ment for  the  holy  place,  because  of 
the  uncleanness  of  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, and  because  of  their  transgres- 
sions in  all  their  sins:  and  so  shall  he 
do  for  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega- 
tion, that  remaineth  among  them  in 
the   midst  of  their  uncleanness. 

18  And  he  shall  go  out  unto  the 
altar  that  is  before  the  Lord,  and 
make  an  atonement  for  it:  and  shall 
take  of  the  blood  of  the  bullock,  and 
of  the  blood  of  the  goat,  and  put  it 
upon  the  horns  of  the  altar  round 
about. 

19  And  he  shall  sprinkle  of  the 
blood  upon  it  with  his  finger  seven 
times,  and  cleanse  it,  and  hallow  it 
from  the  uncleanness  of  the  children

of    blood;     I     will    even    set  my  face 


men  once  to  die,  but  after  this  the 
judgment: 

28  bo  Christ  was  once  offered  to 
bear  the  sins  of  many;  and  unto  them 
that  look  for  him  shall  he  appear  the 
second  time  without  sin  unto  salva-

1  For  the  law  having  a  shadow  of 
good  things  to  come,  and  not  the  very 
image  of  the  things,  can  never  with 
those  sacrifices,  which  they  offered 
year  by  year  continually,  make  the 
comers  thereunto  perfect. 

2  For  then  would  they  not  have 
ceased  to  be  offered?  because  that  the 
worshippers  once  purged  should  have 
had  no  more  conscience  of  sins.

a  remembrance  again  made  of  sins 
every  year.

fering thou  wouldest  not,  but  a  body 
hast  thou  prepared  me: 

6  In  burnt  offerings  and  sacrifices 
for  sin  thou  hast  had  no  pleasure. 

7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  come  (in  the

me)   to  do  thy  will,  0  God. 

8  Above  when  he  said.  Sacrifice 
and  offering  and  burnt  offerings  and 
offering  for  sin  thou  wouldest  not, 
neither  hadst  pleasure  therein;  which 
are  offered  by  the  law; 

9  Then  said  he,  Lo,  I  come  to  do 
thy  will,  0  God.  He  taketh  away  the 
first,  that  he  may  establish  the 
second.

7  Will  the  Lord  be  pleased  with 
thousands  of  rams,  or  with  ten  thou- 
sands of  rivers  of  oil?  shall  I  give  my 
firstborn  for  my  transgression,  the 
fruit  of  my  body  for  the  sin  of  my

volume  of  the  book  it  is  written  of 
me.

me?  saith  the  Lord:  I  am  full  of  the 
burnt  offerings  of  rams,  and  the  fat 
of  fed  beasts;  and  I  delight  not  in  the 
blood  of  bullocks,  or  of  lambs,  or  of

JEREMIAH  vi:20  To  what  pur-

Sheba,  and  the  sweet  cane  from  a  far 
country?  your  burnt  offerings  are  not 
acceptable,  nor  your  sacrifices  sweet

22  Though  ye  offer  me  burnt  offer-

not  accept  them:  neither  will  I  regard 
the  peace  offerings  of  your  fat  beasts.

17  And  their  sins  and  iniquities 
•will  I  remember  no  more. 

18  Now  where  remission  of  these 
Is,  there  is  no   more  offering  for  sin. 

19  Having  therefore,  brethren, 
boldness  to  enter  into  the  holiest  by 
the  blood  of  Jesus, 

20  By  a  new  and  living  way,  which 
he  hath  consecrated  for  us,  through 
the  vail,  that  is  to  say,  his  flesh; 

21  And  having  a  high  priest  over 
the  house  of  God; 

22  Let  us  draw  near  with  a  true 
heart  in  full  assurance  of  faith,  hav- 
ing our  hearts  sprinkled  from  an  evil 
conscience,  and  •*'  our  bodies  washed

of  our  faith  without  wavering;  for  he 
is  faithful  that  promised;

it  in  their  hearts;  and  will  be  their 
God,  and  they  shall  be  my  people.

cleanse  you. 

26  A  new  heart  also  will  I  give 
you,  and  a  new  spirit  will  I  put  within 
you:  and  I  will  take  away  the  stony 
heart  out  of  your  flesh,  and  I  will 
give  you  a  heart  of  flesh.

said,  ^  Vengeance  belongeth  unto  me,

former  days,  in  which,  after  ye  were 
illuminated,  ye  endured  a  great  fight 
of  afflictions;

gazingstock  both  by  reproaches  and 
afflictions;  and  partly,  whilst  ye  be-

in  my  bonds,  and  took  joyfully  the 
spoiling  of  your  goods,  knowing  in 
yourselves  that  ye  have  in  heaven  a 
better  and  an   enduring  substance.

confidence,  which  hath  great  recom-

that,  after  ye  have  done  the  will  of 
God,  ye  might  receive  the  promise. 

[God]  belongeth  vengeance,  and  re- 
compense; their  [Jeshurun's]  foot

their  calamity  is  at  hand,  and  the

mfe;  those  that  have  made  a  covenant 
with  me  by  sacrifice. 

6  And  the  heavens  shall  declare 
his  righteousness:  for  God  is  judge 
himself.

shall  have  no  pleasure  in  him.

children  of  Israel,  saying,  God  will 
surely  visit  you,  and  ye  shall  carry  up 
my  bones  from  hence. 

EXODUS  xiii:19  And  Moses  took 
the  bones  of  Joseph  with  him:  for  he

days,  when  Moses  was  grown,  that  he 
went  out  unto  his  brethren,  and 
looked  on  their  burdens:  and  he  spied 
an  Egyptian  smiting  a  Hebrew,  one

his  hands  and  upon  his  feet,  and  his 
armourbearer  after  him:  and  they  fell 
before  Jonathan;  and  his  armourbear-

Jonathan  and  his  armourbearer  made, 
was  about  twenty  men,  within  as  it

Philistines,  and  subdued  them:  and

them  that  love  him?

gavest  unto  their  fathers,  and  toward 
the  city  which  thou  hast  chosen,  and 
toward  the  house  which  I  have  built

Meekness  of  Wisdom.

so  can  no  fountain  both  yield  salt  wa-

13  Who  is  '  a  wise  man  and  endued 
with  knowledge  among  you?  let  him 
shew  out  of  a  good  conversation  his 
works   J  with  meekness  of  wisdom. 

14  But  if  ye  have  bitter  envying 
and  strife  in  your  hearts,  glory  not, 
and  lie  not  against  the  truth. 

15  This  wisdom  descendeth  not 
from  above,  but  is  earthly,  sensual, 
devilish. 

16  For  where  envying  and  strife  is, 
there  is  confusion  and  every  evil 
work. 

17  But  the  wisdom  that  is  from 
above     is     first    pure,  then  peaceable, 

PROVERBS  ix:9  '  Give  instruction 
to  a  wise  man,  and  he  will  be  yet  wis- 
er: teach  a  just  man,  and  he  will  in- 
crease in  learning. 

10  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  the  be- 
ginning of  wisdom:  and  the  knowl- 
edge of  the  Holy  is  understanding. 

PSALM  XXV :  9  J  The  meek  will  he 
guide  in  judgment:  and  the  meek  will 
he  teach  his  way. 

ZEPHANIAH  ii:3  Seek  ye  the 
Lord,  all  ye  meek  of  the  earth,  which 
have  wrought  his  judgment;  seek 
righteousness,  seek  meekness:  it  may 
be  ye  shall  be  hid  in  the  day  of  the 
Lord's  anger. 

PROVERBS  xi:18  "The  wicked 
worketh  a  deceitful  work:  but  to  him 
that  soweth  righteousness  shall  be  a 
sure  reward. 

ISAIAH  xxxii:17  The  work  of 
righteousness  shall  be  peace;  and  the 
effect  of  righteousness  quietness  and 
assurance  for  ever. 

HOSEA  x:12  Sow  to  yourselves  in 
righteousness,  reap  in  mercy;  break 
up  your  fallow  ground:  for  it  is  time 
to  seek  the  Lord,  till  he  come  and  rain 
righteousness  upon  you. 

JOB  xxvii:8  "  For  what  is  the  hope 
of  the  hypocrite,  though  he  hath 
gained,  when  God  taketh  away  his 
soul? 

9  Will  God  hear  his  cry  when 
trouble  cometh  upon  him? 

JOB  xxxv:]2  There  they  cry,  but 
none    giveth    answer,    because  of  the 


gentle,  and  easy  to  be  entreated,  full 
of  mercy  and  good  fruits,  without  par- 
tiality, and  without  hypocrisy. 

18  And  '■  the  fruit  of  righteousness

CHAPTER  IV. 

Avoid  eovetousness.  6  Avoid  pride.  11  Do 
not  speak  evil  one  of  another. 

1  From  whence  come  wars  and 
fightings  among  you?  come  they  not 
hence,  even  of  your  lusts  that  war  in 
your  members? 

2  Ye  lust,  and  have  not:  ye  kill, 
and  desire  to  have,  and  cannot  obtain: 
ye  fight  and  war,  yet  ye  have  not,  be- 
cause ye  ask  not. 

3  "  Ye    ask,    and    receive  not,  "  be- 

pride  of  evil  men. 

13  Surely  God  will  not  hear  vanity, 
neither  will  the  Almighty  regard  it. 

PSALM  xviii:41  They  cried,  but 
there  was  none  to  save  them:  even  un- 
to the  Lord,  but  he  answered  them 
not. 

PROVERBS  i:28  Then  shall  tbey 
call  upon  me,  but  I  will  not  answer; 
they  shall  seek  me  early,  but  they 
shall  not  find  me: 

29  For  that  they  hated  knowledge, 
and  did  not  choose  the  fear  of  the 
Lord: 

30  They  would  none  of  my  counsel: 
they  despised  all  my  reproof. 

31  Therefore  shall  they  eat  of  the 
fruit  of  their  own  way,  and  be  filled 
with  their  own  devices. 

ISAIAH  i:15  And  when  ye  spread 
forth  your  hands,  I  will  hide  mine 
eyes  from  you;  yea,  when  ye  make 
many  prayers,  I  will  not  hear:  your 
hands  are  full  of  blood. 

JEREMIAH  xi:ll  Therefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  I  will  bring 
evil  upon  them,  which  they  shall  not 
be  able  to  escape;  and  though  they 
shall  cry  unto  me,  I  will  not  hearken 
unto  them. 

12  Then  shall  the  cities  of  Judah 
and  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem  go,  and 
cry  unto  the  gods  unto  whom  they  of- 
fer incense:  but  they  shall  not  save 
them  at  all  in  the  time  of  their 
trouble.

sume it  upon  your  lusts. 

4  ''Ye  adulterers  and  adulteresses, 
know  ye  not  that  the  friendship  of  the 
■world  is  enmity  with  God?  whosoever 
therefore  will  be  a  friend  of  the  world 
is  the  enemy  of  God. 

5  Do  ye  think  that  the  Scripture 
isaith  in  vain,  *  The  spirit  that  dwell- 

unto  the  Lord,  but  he  will  not  hear 
them:  he  will  even  hide  his  face  from 
them  at  that  time,  as  they  have  be- 
haved themselves  ill  in  their  doings. 

ZECHARIAH  vii:13  Therefore  it 
is  come  to  pass,  that  as  he  cried,  and 
they  would  not  hear;  so  they  cried, 
and  I  would  not  hear,  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts: 

PSALM  lxvi:18  >•  If  I  regard  ini- 
quity in  my  heart,  the  Lord  will  not 
hear  me: 

PSALM  lxxviii:27  "=  He  rained  flesh 
also  upon  them  as  dust,  and 
feathered  fowls  like  as  the  sand  of  the 
sea: 

28  And  he  let  it  fall  in  the  midst 
of  their  camp,  round  about  their  habi- 
tations. 

29  So  they  did  eat,  and  were  well 
filled:  for  he  gave  them  their  own  de- 
sire; 

30  They  were  not  estranged  from 
their  lust:  but  while  their  meat  was 
yet  in  their  mouths, 

31  The  wrath  of  God  came  upon 
them,  and  slew  the  fattest  of  them,  and 
ismote  down  the  chosen  men  of  Israel. 

32  For  all  this  they  sinned  still, 
and  believed  not  for  his  wondrous 
works. 

GENESIS  vi:  5  <•  And  God  saw  that 
the  wickedness  of  man  was  great  in 
the  earth,  and  that  every  imagination 
of  the  thoughts  of  his  heart  was  only 
evil  continually. 

GENESIS  viii:21  And  the  Lord 
smelled  a  sweet  savour;  and  the  Lord 
said  in  his  heart,  I  will  not  again 
curse  the  ground  any  more  for  man's 
•sake;  for  the  imagination  of  man's 
heart  is  evil  from  his  youth:  neither 
will  I  again  smite  any  more  every 
thing  living,  as  I  have  done. 

NUMBERS  xi:29  And  Moses  said 
unto  him  [Joshua],  Enviest  thou  for 
my  sake?  would  God  that  all  the 
Lord's  people  were  prophets,  and  that 


eth  in  us  lusteth  to  envy? 

6  But  he  giveth  more  grace.  Where- 
fore he  saith,  '^  God  resisteth  the  proud, 
'  but  giveth  grace  unto  the  humble. 

7  Submit  yourselves  therefore  to 
God.  Resist  the  devil,  and  he  will  flee 
from  you. 

8  s  Draw  nigh  to  God,  and  he  will 
draw    nigh     to    you.    ''  Cleanse    your

wicked  desireth  evil:  his  neighbour 
findeth  no  favour  in  his  eyes.

ceedingly filled  with  the  scorning  of 
those  that  are  at  ease,  and  with  the 
contempt  of  the  proud. 

PROVERBS  xv:25  The  Lord  will 
destroy  the  house  of  the  proud:  but  he 
will  establish  the  border  of  the  widow. 

ISAIAH  ii:12  For  the  day  of  the 
Lord  of  hosts  shall  be  upon  every  one 
that  is  proud  and  lofty,  and  upon  every 
one  that  is  lifted  up;  and  he  shall  be 
brought  low; 

II.  CHRONICLES  vii:14  '  If  my 
people,  which  are  called  by  my  name,

wicked  ways;  then  will  I  hear  from 
heaven,  and  will  forgive  their  sins, 
and  will  heal  their  land. 

JOB  xxii:29  When  men  are  cast 
down,  then  thou  shalt  say,  There  is 
lifting  up;  and  he  shall  save  the  hum-

PSALM  cxxxviii:6  Though  the 
Lord  be  high,  yet  hath  he  respect  unto 
the  lowly:  but  the  proud  he  knoweth 
afar  off. 

PROVERBS  iii:  34  Surely  he  scorn-

kingdoms?  or  their  border  greater 
than  your  border?

stretch  themselves  upon  their  couches,

the  calves  out  of  the  midst  of  the  stall; 

5  That  chant  to  the  sound  of  the 
viol,  and  invent  to  themselves  instru- 
ments of  music,  like  David; 

6  That  drink  wine  in  bowls,  and 
anoint  themselves  with  the  chief  oint-

the  affliction  of  Joseph.

*The  new  civil  year  of  the  Jews  was  about  the 
time  of  the  autumnal  equinox.  The  former  rain 
began  to  fall  about  this  time,  when  they  pre- 
pared their  ground  and  sowed  their  grain.  Their 
latter  rain  continued  until  about  the  time  of  the 
vernal  equinox.  Soon  after  this  they  began  the 
barley  harvest.  This  was  important  so  that 
they  could  present  to  the  Lord  the  first  fruits  of 
a  wave  sheaf  on  the  second  day  of  the  feast  of 
Unleavened  Bread,  which  was  Sunday.  Abib

Elijah  Prayed 


JAMES  V. 


Not  to  Have  Rain. 


17  Elijah  was  a  man  subject  to  like 
passions     as    we    are,  and  '  he  prayed 

JOSHUA  x:12  Then  spake  Joshua 
to  the  Lord  in  the  day  when  the  Lord 
delivered  up  the  Amorites  before  the 
children  of  Israel,  and  he  said  in  the 
sight  of  Israel,  Sun,  stand  thou  still 
upon  Gibeon;  and  thou.  Moon,  in  the 
valley  of  Ajalon. 

13  And  the  sun  stood  still,  and  the 
moon  stayed,  until  the  people  had 
avenged  themselves  upon  their  ene- 
mies. Is  not  this  written  in  the  book 
of  Jasher?  So  the  sun  stood  still  in 
the  midst  of  heaven,  and  hasted  not  to 
go  down  about  a  whole  day. 

I.  SAMUEL  xii:18  So  Samuel 
called  unto  the  Lord;  and  the  Lord 
sent  thunder  and  rain  that  day:  and 
all  the  people  greatly  feared  the  Lord 
and  Samuel. 

I.  KINGS  xiii:6  And  the  king  [Jer- 
oboam] answered  and  said  unto  the 
man  of  God,  Entreat  now  the  face  of 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  pray  for  me, 
that  my  hand  may  be  restored  me 
again.  And  the  man  of  God  besought 
the  Lord,  and  the  king's  hand  was  re- 
stored him  again,  and  became  as  it 
was  before. 

II.  KINGS  iv:33  He  [Elisha]  went 
in  therefore,  and  shut  the  door  upon 
them  twain,  and  prayed  unto  the 
Lord. 

34  And  he  went  up,  and  lay  upon 
the  child,  and  put  his  mouth  upon  his 
mouth,  and  his  eyes  upon  his  eyes,  and 
his  hands  upon  his  hands,  and  he 
stretched  himself  upon  the  child;  and 
the  flesh  of  the  child  waxed  warm. 

35  Then  he  returned,  and  walked  in 
the  house  to  and  fro;  and  went  up, 
and  stretched  himself  upon  him:  and 
the  child  sneezed  seven  times,  and  the 
child  opened  his  eyes. 

II.  KINGS  xix:15  And  Hezekiah 
prayed  before  the  Lord,  and  said,  0 
Lord  God  of  Israel,  which  dwellest  be- 
tween the  cherubim,  thou  art  the  God, 
even  thou  alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms 
df  the  earth:  thou  hast  made  heaven 
and  earth. 

19  Now  therefore,  O  Lord  our  God, 
I  beseech  thee,  save  thou  us  out  of  his 
hand,  that  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth  may  know  that  thou  art  the 
Lord  God,  even  thou  only. 

20  Then     Isaiah     the    son  of  Amoz 


earnestly  that  it  might  not  rain:  and 
it  rained  not  on  the  earth  by  the  space 

sent  to  Hezekiah,  saying.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  That  which 
thou  hast  prayed  to  me  against  Sen- 
nacherib king  of  Assyria  I  have  heard. 
II.  KINGS  XX :  2  Then  he  turned  his 
face  to  the  wall,  and  prayed  unto  the 
Lord,  saying, 

3  I  beseech  thee,  O  Lord,  remember 
now  how  I  have  walked  before  thee  in 
truth  and  with  a  perfect  heart,  and 
have  done  that  which  is  good  in  thy 
sight.     And  Hezekiah  w§pt  sore. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  afore  Isaiah 
was  gone  out  into  the  middle  court, 
that  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to 
him,  saying, 

5  Turn  again,  and  tell  Hezekiah 
the  captain  of  my  people.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  David  thy  father, 
I  have  heard  thy  prayer,  I  have  seen 
thy  tears:  behold,  I  will  heal  thee:  on 
the  third  day  thou  shalt  go  up  unto 
the  house  of  the  Lord. 

PSALM  x:17  Lord,  thou  hast  heard 
the  desire  of  the  humble:  thou  wilt 
prepare  their  heart,  thou  wilt  cause 
thine  ear  to  hear: 

PSALM  xxxiv:  15  The  eyes  of  the 
Lord  are  upon  the  righteous,  and  his 
ears  are  open  unto  their  cry. 

PSALM  cxlv:18  The  Lord  is  nigh 
unto  all  them  that  call  upon  him,  to 
all  that  call  upon  him  in  truth. 

PROVERBS  xv:29  The  Lord  is  far 
from  the  wicked:  but  he  heareth  the 
prayer  of  the  righteous. 

PROVERBS      xxviii:9  He      that 

turneth  away  his  ear  from  hearing  the 
law,  even  his  prayer  shall  be  abomina- 
tion. 

DANIEL  ii:17  Then  Daniel  went 
to  his  house,  and  made  the  thing 
known  to  Hananiah,  Mishael,  and 
Azariah,  his  companions: 

18  That  they  would  desire  mercies 
of  the  God  of  heaven  concerning  this 
secret;  that  Daniel  and  his  fellows 
should  not  perish  with  the  rest  of  the

unto  Daniel  in  a  night  vision.  Then

eastward,  and  hide  thyself  by  the

of  Carmel;  and  he  cast  himself  down 
upon  the  earth,  and  put  his  face  be-

rejected  of  men;  a  man  of  sorrows,

despised,  and  we  esteemed  him  not.

thy  holy  city,  to  finish  the  transgres-

DANIEL  xii:  9  And  he  said.  Go  thy 
way,  Daniel:  for  the  words  are  closed 
up  and  sealed  till  the  time  of  the  end.

two,  the  one  on  this  side  of  the  bank 
of  the  river,  and  the  other  on  that  side 
of  the  bank  of  the  river.

in  linen,  which  was  upon  the  waters 
of  the  river.  How  long  shall  it  be  to 
the  end  of  these  wonders? 

7  And  I  heard  the  man  clothed  in 
linen,  which  was  upon  the  waters  of 
the  river,  when  he  held  up  his  right 
hand  and  his  left  hand  unto  heaven, 
and  sware  by  him  that  liveth  for  ever, 
that  it  shall  be  for  a  time,  times,  and

every  one  to  his  own  way;  and  the 
Lord  hath  laid  on  him  [Jesus]  the  ini- 
quity of  us  all. 

EZEKIEL  xxxiv:6  My  sheep  wan- 
dered through  all  the  mountains,  and 
upon  every  high  hill:  yea,  my  flock 
was  scattered  upon  all  the  face  of  the 
earth,  and  none  did  search  or  seek  af-

EZEKIEL  xxxiv:23  ■=  And  I  will

shall  feed  them,  even  my  servant  Da-

he  shall  be  their  shepherd.

them;  I  the  Lord  have  spoken  it. 


ible,  even  the  ornament  of  a  meek  and 
quiet  spirit,  which  is  in  the  sight  of 
God  of  great  price. 

5  For  arfter  this  manner  in  the  old 
time  the  holy  women  also,  who  trusted 
in  God,  adorned  themselves,  being  in 
subjection  unto  their  own  husbands: 

6  Even  as  Sarah  obeyed  Abraham, 
calling  him  lord:  whose  daughters  ye 
are,  as  long  as  ye  do  well,  and  are  not 
afraid  with  any  amazement. 

7  Likewise,  ye  husbands,  dwell  with 
them  according  to  knowledge,  giving 
honour  unto  the  wife,  as  unto  the 
weaker  vessel,  and  as  being  heirs  to- 
gether of  the  grace  of  life;  that  ^  your 
prayers  be  not  hindered. 

8  Finally,  be  ye  all  of  one  mind, 
having  compassion  one  of  another; 
love  as  brethren,  be  pitiful,  be  courte- 
ous: 

9  '  Not  rendering  evil  for  evil,  or 
railing  for  railing:  but  contrariwise 
blessing;  knowing  that  ye  are  thereun- 

EZEKIEL  xxxvii:24  And  David 
[Christ]  my  servant  shall  be  king  over 
them;  and  they  all  shall  have  one 
shepherd:  they  shall  also  walk  in  my 
judgments,  and  observe  my  statutes, 
and  do  them.

King  in  raiment  of  needlework: 
the  virgins  her  companions  that 
follow  her  shall  be  brought  unto  thee.

Job,  and  offer  up  for  yourselves  a

may  be  glad  also  with  exceeding  joy.

of  Christ,  happy  are  ye;  for  the  Spirit 
of  glory  and  of  God  resteth  upon  you:

with  a  great  noise,  and  the  elements 
shall  melt  with  fervent  heat,  the 
earth  also  and  the  works  that  are 
therein  shall  be  burned  up. 

11  Seeing  then  that  all  these  things 
shall  be  dissolved,  what  manner  of 
persons  ought  ye  to  be  in  all  holy  con- 
versation and  godliness,

Father. 

1  My  little  children,  these  thiugs 
write  I  unto  you,  that  ye  sin  not.  And 
if  any  man  sin,  ye  have  an  advocate 
with  the  Father,  Jesus  Christ  the 
righteous: 

2  And  he  is  "  the  propitiation  for 
our  sins:  and  not  for  ours  only,  but 
also  for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world. 

3  And  hereby  we  do  know  that  we 
know  him,  if  we  keep  his  command- 
ments. 

4  He  that  saith,  I  know  him,  and 
keepeth  not  his  commandments,  is  a 
liar,  and  the  truth  is  not  in  him. 

5  But  whoso  keepeth  his  word,  in 
him  verily  is  the  love  of  God  perfected: 
hereby  know  we  that  we  are  in  him. 

6  He  that  saith  he  abideth  in  him 
ought  himself  also  so  to  walk,  even  as 
he  walked. 

7  Brethren,  I  write  no  new  com- 
mandment unto  you,  but  an  old  com- 
mandment which  ye  had  from  the  be- 
ginning. The  old  commandment  is 
the     word    which  ye  have  heard  from 

50  And  forgive  thy  people  that 
have  sinned. 

JOB  IX:  1  Then  Job  answered  and 
said, 

2  I  know  it  is  so  of  a  truth:  but 
how  should  man  be  just  with  God? 

3  If  he  will  contend  with  him,  he 
cannot  answer  him  one  of  a  thousand. 

JOB  xv:14  What  is  man,  that  he 
should  be  clean?  and  he  which  is  born 
of  a  woman,  that  he  should  be  right- 
eous? 

JOB  XXV :  4  How  then  can  man  be 
justified  with  God?  or  how  can  he  be 
clean  that  is  born  of  a  woman?

my  sin  imto  thee,  and  mine  iniquity 
have  I  not  hid.     I  said,  I  will  confess

8  Again,  a  new  commandment  I 
write  unto  you,  which  thing  is  true  in 
him  and  in  you:  because  ''the  dark- 
ness is  past,  and  the  true  light  now 
shineth. 

9  He  that  saith  he  is  in  the  light, 
and  hateth  his  brother,  is  in  darkness 
even  until  now. 

10  He  that  ''  loveth  his  brother 
abideth  in  the  light,  and  there  is  none 
occasion  of  stumbling  in  him. 

11  But  he  that  hateth  his  brother 
is  in  darkness,  and  walketh  in  dark- 
ness, and  knoweth  not  whither  he  go- 
eth,  because  that  darkness  hath 
blinded  his  eyes. 

12  I  write  unto  you,  little  children, 
because  your  sins  are  forgiven  you  for 
his  name's  sake. 

13  I  write  unto  you,  fathers,  be- 
cause ye  have  known  him  that  is  from 
the  beginning.  I  write  unto  you, 
young  men,  because  ye  have  overcome 
the  wicked  one.  I  write  unto  you,  lit- 
tle children,  because  ye  have  known 
the  Father. 

14  I  have  written  unto  you,  fathers, 
because     ye     have    known  him  that  is 

my  transgressions  unto  the  Lord;  and 
thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my  sin.

correction  from  the  child:  for  if  thou 
beatest  him  with  the  rod,  he  shall  not

from  mine  iniquity,  and  cleanse  me 
from  my  sin.

shall  my  righteous  servant  [Christ], 
justify  many;  for  he  shall  bear  their 
iniquities.

his  Son  to  be  the  propitiation  for  our

11  Beloved,  if  God  so  loved  us,  we 
ought  also  to  love  one  another.

'  day  of  judgment:    because  as  he  is, 
so  are  we  in  this  world. 

18  There  is  no  fear  in  love;  but 
perfect  love  casteth  out  fear:  because 
fear  hath  torment.  He  that  feareth  is 
not  made  perfect  in  love. 

19  We  love  him,  because  he  first 
loved  us. 

20  If  a  man  say,  I  love  God,  and 
1  hateth  his  brother,  he  is  a  liar:  for 
he  that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom 
he  hath  seen,  how  can  he  love  God 
whom  he  hath  not  seen? 

21  And  this  commandment  have  we 
from  him,  That  he  who  loveth  God 
love  his  brother  also. 

CHAPTER  V. 

When  we  love  Christ,  we  also  love  his  disci- 
ples. 3  The  love  of  God  is  manifested  by  keep- 
ing his  commandments.  7  The  trinity.  14  When 
we  ask  anythinsr  aecordintr  to  his  will  he  hear- 
eth  us.    17  All  unrighteousness  is  sin. 

1  Whosoever  believeth  that  Jesus 
is  the  Christ  is  born  of  God:  and  every 
one  that  loveth  him  that  begat  loveth 
him  also  that  is  begotten  of  him. 

2  By  this  we  know  that  we  love  the 
children  of  God,  when  we  love  God, 
and  keep  his  commandments. 

3  For  this  is  the  love  of  God,  that 
*  we  keep  his  commandments:  and  his 

and  Noah  walked  with  God. 

ISAIAH  vi:6  Then  flew  one  of  the 
seraphim  unto  me  [Isaiah]  having  a 
live  coal  in  his  hand,  which  he  had 
taken  with  the  tongs  from  off  the  al- 
tar: 

7  And  he  laid  it  upon  my  mouth, 
and  said,  Lo,  this  hath  touched  thy 
lips;  and  thine  iniquity  is  taken  away, 
and  thy  sin  purged. 

DANIEL  xii:10  Many  shall  be  puri- 
fied, and  made  white,  and  tried;  but 
the  wicked  shall  do  wickedly:  and 
none  of  the  wicked  shall  understand; 
but  the  wise  shall  understand. 

DANIEL  vii:22  '  [The  power  made 
war]  until  the  Ancient  of  days  came, 
and  judgment  was  given  to  the  saints 
of  the  Most  High;  and  the  time  came 
that  the  saints  possessed  the  kingdom. 

26  But  the  judgment  shall  sit,  and 
they  shall  take  away  his  dominion,  to 


commandments  are  not  grievous. 

4  For  whatsoever  is  born  of  God 
overcometh  the  world:  and  this  is  the 
victory  that  overcometh  the  world, 
even  our  faith. 

5  Who  is  he  that  overcometh  the 
world,  but  he  that  believeth  that  *■  Je- 
sus is  the  son  of  God? 

6  This  is  he  that  came  by  water 
and  blood,  even  Jesus  Christ;  not  by 
water  only,  but  by  water  and  blood. 
And  it  is  "  the  Spirit  that  beareth  wit- 
ness, because  the  Spirit  is  truth. 

7  For  there  are  three  that  bear 
record  in  heaven,  the  Father,  the 
Word,  and  the  Holy  Ghost:  and  these 
three  are  one. 

8  And  there  are  three  that  bear 
witness  in  earth,  the  spirit,  and  the 
water,  and  the  blood:  and  these  three 
agree  in  one. 

9  If  we  receive  the  witness  of  men, 
the  witness  of  God  is  greater:  for  this 
is  the  witness  of  God  which  he  hath 
testified  of  his  Son. 

10  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  of 
God  hath  the  witness  in  himself:  he 
that  believeth  not  God  hath  made  him 
a     liar;     because  he  believeth  not  the 

consume  and  to  destroy  it  unto  the 
end.

they  went  forth,  taking  nothing  of  the

words  of  Balak. 

21  And  Balaam  rose  up  in  the 
morning,  and  saddled  his  ass,  and 
went  with  the  princes  of  Moab. 

22  And  God's  anger  was  kindled 
because  he  went:  and  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  stood  in  the  way  for  an  adver- 
sary against  him.  Now  he  w^as  rid- 
ing upon  his  ass,  and  his  two  serv- 
ants were  with  him. 

23  And  the  ass  saw  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  standing  in  the  way,  and  his 
sword  drawn  in  his  hand:  and  the  ass 
turned  aside  out  of  the  way,  and  went 
into  the  field:  and  Balaam  smote  the 
ass,  to  turn  her  into  the  way. 

24  But  the  angel  of  the  Lord  stood 
in  a  path  of  the  vineyards,  a  wall  be- 
ing on  this  side,  and  a  wall  on  that 
side.

of  the  Lord,  she  thrust  herself  unto 
the  wall,  and  crushed  Balaam's  foot 
against  the  wall;  and  he  smote  her 
again. 

26  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  went 
further,  and  stood  in  a  narrow  place, 
where  was  no  way  to  turn  either  to 
the  right  hand  or  to  the  left. 

27  And  when  the  ass  saw  the  angel 
of  the  Lord,  she  fell  down  under  Ba- 
laam: and  Balaam's  anger  was 
kindled,  and  he  smote  the  ass  with  a 
staff. 

28  And  the  Lord  opened  the  mouth 
of  the  ass,  and  she  said  unto  Balaam, 
"What  have  I  done  unto  thee,  that  thou 
hast  smitten  me  these  three  times?

congregation  are  holy,  every  one  of

wherefore  then  lift  ye  up  yourselves 
above  the  congregation  of  the  Lord? 

4  And  when  Moses  heard  it,  he  fell 
upon  his  face: 

5  And  he  spake  unto  Korah  and 
unto  all  his  company,  saying.  Even 
to  morrow  the  Lord  will  shew  w^ho 
are  his,  and  who  is  holy;  and  will 
cause  him  to  come  near  unto  him: 
even  him  whom  he  hath  chosen  will 
he  cause  to  come  near  unto  him. 

6  This  do;  Take  you  censers,  Kor- 
ah, and  all  his  company; 

7  And  put  fire  therein,  and  put  in- 
cense in  them  before  the  Lord  to  mor-

whom  the  Lord  doth  choose,  he  shall 
be  holy:  ye  take  too  much  upon  you, 
ye  sons  of  Levi. 

8  And  Moses  said  unto  Korah, 
Hear,  I  pray  you,  ye  sons  of  Levi: 

29  If  these  men  die  the  common 
death  of  all  men,  or  if  they  be  visited 
after  the  visitation  of  all  men;  then 
the  Lord  hath  not  sent  me.

made  an  end  of  speaking  all  those 
words,  that  the  ground  clave  asunder

before  me,  0  my  lord,  by  the  vision

to  the  foot,  and  girt  about  the  paps 
with  a  golden  girdle. 

14  His  head  and  '  his  hairs  were 
white  like  wool,  as  white  as  snow; 
and  his  ^  eyes  were  as  a  flame  of  fire;

his  throne  was  like  the  fiery  flame,

ISAIAH  xi:4  "But  with  righteous-

and  reprove  with  equity  for  the  meek

with  the  breath  of  his  lips  shall  he 
slay  the  wicked. 

I.  KINGS  xvi:31  ''And  it  came  to 
pass,  as  if  it  had  been  a  light  thing

Jeroboam  the  son  of  Nebat,  that  he 
took  to  wife  Jezebel  the  daughter  of 
Ethbaal  king  of  the  Zidonians,  and 
went  and  served  Baal,  and  worshipped 
him. 

L  KINGS  xxi:25  But  there  was 
none  like  unto  Ahab,  which  did  sell 
himself  to  work  wickedness  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  whom  Jezebel  his 
wife  stirred  up. 

II.  KINGS  ix:7  And  thou  [Jehu] 
Shalt  smite  the  house  of  Ahab  thy 
master,  that  I  may  avenge  the  blood 
of  my  servants  the  prophets,  and  the 
blood  of  all  the  servants  of  the  Lord, 
at  the  hand  of  Jezebel. 

EXODUS  xxxiv:14  'For  thou

triest  the  reins  and  the  heart,  let  me 
see  thy  vengeance  on  them:  for  unto 
thee  have  I  revealed  my  cause. 

JEREMIAH  xvii:10  I  the  Lord

ways,  and  according  to  the  fruit  of  his 
doings. 

JEREMIAH  xx:12  ^  But,  O  Lord

2  Be  watchful,  and  strengthen  the 
things  which  remain,  that  are  ready  to 
die:  for  I  have  not  found  thy  works 
perfect  before  God. 

3  Remember  therefore  how  thou 
hast  received  and  heard,  and  hold  fast,

not  watch,  I  will  come  on  thee  as  a 
thief,  and  thou  shalt  not  know  what

4  Thou  hast  a  few  names  even  in 
Sardis  which  have  not  defiled  their 
garments;  and  they  shall  walk  with

in  heaven,  and  one  sat  on  the  throne. 

3  And  he  that  sat  was  to  look  up- 
on like  a  jasper  and  a  sardine  stone: 
and  *>  there  was  a  rainbow  round  about 
the  throne,  in  sight  like  unto  an  emer- 
ald. 

•i  And  round  about  the  throne  were 
four  and  twenty  seats:  and  upon  the 
seats  I  saw  four  and  twenty  elders  sit- 
ting, clothed  in  white  raiment;  and 
they  had  on  their  heads  crowns  of 
gold. 

5    And  out  of  the  throne  proceeded 

be  as  wool. 

ISAIAH  VI  :1  Mn  the  year  that 
king  Uzziah  died  I  saw  also  the  Lord 
sitting  upon  a  throne,  high  and  lifted 
up,  and  his  train  filled  the  temple.

high  throne  from  the  beginning  is  the 
place  of  our  sanctuary.

was  the  likeness  of  a  throne,  as  the 
appearance  of  a  sapphire  stone:  and 
upon  the  likeness  of  the  throne  was 
the  likeness  as  the  appearance  of  a 
man  above  upon  it. 

EZEKIEL  X:l  Then  I  looked,  and, 
behold,  in  the  firmament  that  was 
above  the  head  of  the  cherubim  there 
appeared  over  them  as  it  were  a  sap- 
phir  stone,  as  the  appearance  of  the

DANIEL  vii:9  I  beheld  till  the 
thrones  were  cast  down,  and  the  An-

throne  was  like  the  fiery  flame,  and 
his  wheels  as  burning  fire.

of  the  bow  that  is  in  the  cloud  in  the

the  appearance  of  the  likeness  of  the 
glory  of  the  Lord.  And  when  I  saw 
it,  I  fell  upon  my  face,  and  I  heard  a 
voice  of  one  that  spake.

horse:  and  '' he  that  sat  on  him  had  a 
bow;  and  ''a  crown  was  given  unto 
him:  and  he  went  forth  conquering, 
and  to  conquer. 

3  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
second  seal,  I  heard  the  second  beast 
say,  Come  and  see. 

4  ■*  And  there  went  out  another 
horse  that  was  red:  and  power  was 
given  to  him  that  sat  thereon  to  take 
peace  from  the  earth,  and  that  they 
should  kill  one  another:  and  there  was 

and  the  majesty:  for  all  that  is  in  the

had  a  pair  of  balances  in  his  hand. 

6  And  I  heard  a  voice  in  the  midst

wheat  for  a  penny,  and  three  measures 
of  barley  for  a  penny;  and  see  thou 
hurt  not  the  oil  and  the  wine. 

7  And  when  he  had  opened  the 
fourth  seal,  I  heard  the  voice  of  the 
fourth  beast  say.  Come  and  see. 

8  And  I  looked,  and  behold  '  a 
pale  horse:  and  his  name  that  sat  on 
him  was  Death,  and  Hell  followed  with 
him.  And  power  was  given  unto  them

kill  with  sword,  and  with  hunger,  and 
with  death,  and  *■  with  the  beasts  of

1  And  after  these  things  I  '  saw 
four  angels  standing  on  the  four  cor- 
ners of  the  earth,  ''  holding  the  four 
winds  of  the  earth,  that  the  wind 
should  not  blow  on  the  earth,  nor  on 
the  sea,  nor  on  any  tree. 

2  And  I  saw  another  angel  ascend- 
ing from  the  east,  having  the  seal  of 
the  living  God:  and  he  cried  with  a 
loud  voice  to  the  four  angels,  to  whom 
it  was  given  to  hurt  the  earth  and  the 
sea, 

3  Saying,  Hurt  not  the  earth,  nei- 
ther the  sea,  nor  the  trees,  till  we  have 
"  sealed  the  servants  of  our  God  in 
their  foreheads. 

4  And  I  heard  the  number  of  them 
which  were  sealed:  and  there  were 
sealed  ""  a  hundred  and  forty  and  four 
thousand  of  all  the  tribes  of  the  chil-

DANIEL  vii:2  "Daniel  spake  and

5  Of  the  tribe  of  Judah  were  sealed 
twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of  Reu- 
ben were  sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of 
the  tribe  of  Gad  were  sealed  twelve 
thousand. 

6  Of  the  tribe  of  Asher  were  sealed 
twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe  of 
Naphtali  were  sealed  twelve  thou-

7  Of  the  tribe  of  Simeon  were

Of  the  tribe  of  Issachar  were  sealed

sealed  twelve  thousand.  Of  the  tribe 
of  Joseph  were  sealed  twelve  thou-

cried,  seven  thunders  uttered  their

CHAPTER  XI. 

Tbe  two  witnesses  prophesy. 

1  And  there  was  given  me  "  a  reed 
like  unto  a  rod:  and  the  angel  stood, 
saying,  "^  Rise,  and  measure  the  tem- 
ple of  God,  and  "  the  altar,  and  them 
that  worship  therein. 

2  But  ■^  the  court  which  is  without 
brought  me  to  the  temple,  and  meas- 
ured the  posts,  six  cubits  broad  on  the 
one  side,  and  six  cubits  broad  on  the 
other  side,  which  was  the  breadth  of 
the  tabernacle. 

3  Then  went  he  inward,  and  meas- 
ured the  post  of  the  door,  two  cubits; 
and  the  door,  six  cubits;  and  the 
breadth  of  the  door,  seven  cubits. 

4  So  he  measured  the  length  there- 
of, twenty  cubits;  and  the  breadth, 
twenty  cubits,  before  the  temple:  and 
he  said  unto  me.  This  is  the  most  ho- 
ly place. 

7  And  there  was  an  enlarging,  and 
a  winding  about  still  upward  to  the 
side  chambers:  for  the  winding  about 
of  the  house  went  still  upward  round 
about  the  house:  therefore  the 
breadth  of  the  house  was  still  upward, 
and  so  increased  from  the  lowest 
chamber  to  the  highest  by  the  midst. 

10  And  between  the  chambers  was 
the  wideness  of  twenty  cubits  round 
about  the  house  on  every  side. 

13  So  he  measured  the  house,  a 
hundred  cubits  long;  and  the  separate 
place,  and  the  building,  with  the 
walls  thereof  a  hundred  cubits  long; 

EZEKIEL  xliii:13  <=  And  these  are 
the  measures  of  the  altar  after  the- 
cubits.  The  cubit  is  a  cubit  and  a 
handbreadth;  even  the  bottom  shall 
be  a  cubit,  and  the  breadth  of  a  cubit, 
and  the  border  thereof  by  the  edge 
thereof  round  about  shall  be  a  span; 
and  this  shall  be  the  higher  place  of 
the  altar. 

15  So  the  altar  shall  be  four  cub- 
its; and  from  the  altar  and  upwards 
shall  be  four  horns. 

16  And  the  altar  shall  be  twelve 
cubits  long,  twelve  broad,  square  in 
the  four  squares  thereof.

PSALM  LXXIX:1  "0  God,  the 
heathen  are  come  into  thine  inheri- 
tance; thy  holy  temple  have  they  de- 
filed; they  have  laid  Jerusalem  on 
heaps. 

DANIEL  viii:10  'And  it  waxed 
great,  even  to  the  host  of  heaven;  and 
it  cast  down  some  of  the  host  and  of 
the  stars  to  the  ground,  and  stamped 
upon  them. 

11  Yea,  he  magnified  himself  even 
to  the  prince  of  the  host,  and  by  him 
the  daily  sacrifice  was  taken  away, 
and  the  place  of  his  sanctuary  was 
cast  down. 

PSALM  lii:8  « But  I  am  like  a 
green  olive  tree  in  the  house  of  God: 
I  trust  in  the  mercy  of  God  for  ever 
and  ever. 

JEREMIAH  xi:16  The  Lord  called 
thy  name,  A  green  olive  tree,  fair, 
and  of  goodly  fruit:  with  the  noise  of 
a  great  tumult  he  hath  kindled  fire  up- 
on it,  and  the  branches  of  it  are  brok- 
en. 

ZECHARIAH  iv:3  And  two  olive 
trees  by  it,  one  upon  the  right  side  of 
the  bowl,  and  the  other  upon  the  left 
side  thereof. 

11  Then  answered  I,  and  said  un- 
to him,  What  are  these  two  olive  trees 
upon  the  right  side  of  the  candlestick 
and  upon  the  left  side  thereof? 

14  Then  said  he,  These  are  the  two 
anointed  ones,  that  stand  by  the  Lord 
of  the  whole  earth. 

11.  KINGS  i:10  "And  Elijah  an- 
swered and  said  to  the  captain  of  fif- 
ty. If  I  be  a  man  of  God,  then  let  fire 
come  down  from  heaven,  and  con- 
sume thee  and  thy  fifty.  And  there 
came  down  fire  from  heaven,  and 
consumed  him  and  his  fifty. 

11    Again  also  he  sent  unto  him  an- 


4  These  are  the  '  two  olive  trees, 
and  the  two  candlesticks  standing  be- 
fore the  God  of  the  earth. 

5  "  And  if  any  man  will  hurt  them, 
fire  proceedeth  out  of  their  mouth, 
and  devoureth  their  enemies:  and  '  if 
any  man  will  hurt  them,  he  must  in 
this  manner  be  killed. 

6  J  These       have     power     to     shut 

other  captain  of  fifty  with  his  fifty. 
And  he  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
0  man  of  God,  thus  hath  the  king 
said.  Come  down  quickly. 

12  And  Elijah  answered  and  said 
unto  them.  If  I  be  a  man  of  God,  let 
fire  come  down  from  heaven,  and  con- 
sume thee  and  thy  fifty.  And  the  fire 
of  God  came  down  from  heaven,  and 
consumed  him  and  his  fifty. 

JEREMIAH  i:9  Then  the  Lord 
put  forth  his  hand,  and  touched  my 
mouth.  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me, 
Behold,  I  have  put  my  words  in  thy 
mouth. 

10  See,  I  have  this  day  set  thee 
over  the  nations  and  over  the  king- 
doms, to  root  out,  and  to  pull  down, 
and  to  destroy,  and  to  throw  down, 
to  build,  and  to  plant. 

JEREMIAH  v:14  Wherefore  thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  of  hosts.  Because 
ye  speak  this  word,  behold,  I  will 
make  my  words  in  thy  mouth  fire, 
and  this  people  wood,  and  it  shall  de- 
vour them. 

EZEKIEL  xliii:3  And  it  was  ac- 
cording to  the  appearance  of  the  vis- 
ion which  I  saw,  even  according  to 
the  vision  that  I  saw  when  I  came  to 
destroy  the  city:  and  the  visions  were 
like  the  vision  that  I  saw  by  the  riv- 
er Chebar;   and  I  fell  upon  my  face. 

HOSEA  vi:5  Therefore  have  I 
hewed  them  by  the  prophets;  I  have 
slain  them  by  the  words  of  my  mouth: 
and  thy  judgments  are  as  the  light 
that  goeth  forth. 

6  For  I  desired  mercy,  and  not 
sacrifice;  and  the  knowledge  of  God 
more  than  burnt  offerings.

Battle  Between  Michael 


REVELATION  XII. 


and  the  Dragon. 


®  Michael  and  his  angels  fought 
against  the  dragon;  and  the  dragon 
fought  and  his  angels, 

8  And  prevailed  not;  neither  was 
their  place  found  any  more  in  heaven. 

&  And  the  great  dragon  was  cast 
out,  that  '  old  serpent,  called  the  Dev- 
il, and  Satan,  which  deceiveth  the 
whole  world:  he  was  cast  out  into  the 
earth,  and  his  angels  were  cast  out 
with  him. 

10  And  I  heard  a  loud  voice  saying 
in  heaven.  Now  is  come  salvation,  and 
strength,  and  the  kingdom  of  our  God, 
and  the  power  of  his  Christ:  for  « the 
accuser  of  our  brethren  is  cast  down, 
which  accused  them  before  our  God 
day  and  night. 

11  And  they  overcame  him  by  the 
blood  of  the  Lamb,  and  by  the  word 
of  their  testimony;  and  they  loved  not 
their  lives  unto  the  death. 

12  Therefore  ^  rejoice,  ye  heavens, 
and  ye  that  dwell  in  them.  Woe  to  the 

field  which  the  Lord  God  had  made. 
And  he  said  unto  the  woman,  Yea, 
hath  God  said,  Ye  shall  not  eat  of  ev- 
ery tree  in  the  garden? 

JOB  i:9  8  Then  Satan  answered 
the  Lord,  and  said.  Doth  Job  fear  God 
for  nought? 

10  Hast  not  thou  made  a  hedge 
about  him,  and  about  his  house,  and 
about  all  that  he  hath  on  every  side? 
thou  hast  blessed  the  work  of  his 
hands,  and  his  substance  is  increased 
in  the  land. 

JOB  ii:5  [Satan  said  to  the  Lord], 
Put  forth  thine  hand  now,  and  touch 
his  bone  and  his  flesh,  and  he  will 
curse  thee  to  thy  face. 

ZECHARIAH  111:1  And  he  shewed 
me  Joshua  the  high  priest  standing 
before  the  angel  of  the  Lord,  and  Sa- 
tan standing  at  his  right  hand  to  re- 
sist him. 

PSALM  xcvi:ll  "Let  the  heavens 
rejoice,  and  let  the  earth  be  glad;  let 
the  sea  roar,  and  the  fulness  thereof. 

12  Let  the  field  be  joyful,  and  all 
that  is  therein:  then  shall  all  the  trees 
of  the  wood  rejoice. 

ISAIAH  xlix:13  Sing,  O  heavens; 
and    be    joyful,    O  earth;   and  break

for  the  devil  is  come  down  unto  you, 
having  great  wrath,  because  he  know- 
eth  that  he  hath  but  a  short  time. 

13  And  when  the  dragon  saw  that 
he  was  cast  unto  the  earth,  he  perse- 
cuted the  woman  which  brought  forth 
the  man  child. 

14  And  to  '  the  woman  were  given 
two  wings  of  a  great  eagle,  that  she 
might  fiy  into  the  wilderness,  into  her 
place,  where  she  is  nourished  >  for  a 
time,  and  times,  and  half  a  time,  from 
the  face  of  the  serpent. 

15  And  the  serpent  "  cast  out  of 
his  mouth  water  as  a  flood  after  the 
woman,  that  he  might  cause  her  to  be 
carried  away  of  the  flood. 

16  And  the  earth  helped  the  wo- 
man; and  the  earth  opened  her  mouth, 
and  swallowed  up  the  flood  which  the 
dragon  cast  out  of  his  mouth. 

17  And  the  dragon  was  wroth  with 
the  woman,  and  '  went  to  make  war 

forth  into  singing,  0  mountains;  for 
the  Lord  hath  comforted  his  people, 
and  will  have  mercy  upon  his  af- 
flicted.

CHAPTER  Xin. 
The  beast  with  seven  heads. 
1    And   I   stood  upon   the   ''  sand  of 

DANIEL  vii:2  "Daniel  spake  and 
said,  I  saw  in  my  vision  by  night, 
and,  behold,  the  four  winds  of  the 
heaven  strove  upon  the  great  sea  [the 
commotion  of  empires]. 

3  And  four  great  beasts  came  up 
from  the  sea,  diverse  one  from  anoth- 
er. 

DANIEL  vii:7  ''After  this  I  saw 
in  the  night  visions,  and  behold  a 
fourth  beast  [the  Roman  empire], 
dreadful  and  terrible,  and  strong  ex- 
ceedingly; and  it  had  great  iron  teeth: 
it  devoured  and  brake  in  pieces,  and 
stamped  the  residue  with  the  feet  of 
it:  and  it  was  diverse  from  all  the 
beasts  that  were  before  it:  and  it  had 
ten  horns. 

DANIEL  vii:6  «=  After  this  I  be- 
held, and  lo  another,  like  a  leopard, 
[the  Grecian  empire]  which  had  upon 
the  back  of  it  four  wings  of  a  fowl; 
the  beast  had  also  four  heads  [gov- 
erned respectively  by  Cassander,  Lysi- 
machus,  Ptolemy  and  Seleucus] ;  and 
dominion  was  given  to  it. 

DANIEL  viii:23  And  in  the  latter 
time  of  their  kingdom,  when  the 
transgressors  are  come  to  the  full,  a 
king  of  fierce  countenance,  and  under- 
standing dark  sentences,  shall  stand 
up. 

24  And  his  power  shall  be  mighty, 
but  not  by  his  own  power:  and  he 
shall  destroy  wonderfully,  and  shall 
prosper,  and  practise,  and  shall  de- 
stroy the  mighty  and  the  holy  people. 

25  And  through  his  policy  also  he 
shall  cause  craft  to  prosper  in  his 
hand;  and  he  shall  magnify  himself  in 
his  heart,  and  by  peace  shall  destroy 
many:  he  shall  also  stand  up  against 
the  Prince  of  princes;  but  he  shall  be 
broken  without  hand. 

DANIEL  ii:39  And  another  third 
kingdom  [Grecian]  of  brass,  which 
shall  bear  rule  over  all  the  earth. 

DANIEL  ii:40  And  the  fourth 
kingdom  [Roman]  shall  be  strong  as 
iron:  forasmuch  as  iron  breaketh  in 
pieces  and  subdueth  all  things:  and  as 


the  'sea,  and  saw  '^  a  "beast  rise  up  out 
of  the  sea,  having  seven  heads  and 
ten  horns,  and  upon  his  horns  ten 
crowns,  and  upon  his  heads  the  name 
of  blasphemy. 

2  And  "  the  beast  which  I  saw  was 
like  unto  a  leopard,  and  his  feet  were 

iron  that  breaketh  all  these,  shall  it 
break  in  pieces  and  bruise. 

DANIEL  viii:5  And  as  I  was  con- 
sidering, behold,  a  goat  [.Alexander] 
came  from  the  west  on  the  face  of  the 
whole  earth,  and  touched  not  the 
ground:  and  the  goat  had  a  notable 
horn  between  his  eyes. 

6  And  he  came  to  the  ram  that  had 
two  horns,  which  I  had  seen  standing 
before  the  river,  and  ran  unto  him  in 
the  fury  of  his  power. 

7  And  I  saw  him  come  close  unto 
the  ram,  and  he  was  moved  with  chol- 
er  against  him.  and  smote  the  ram, 
and  brake  his  two  horns:  and  there 
was  no  power  in  the  ram  to  stand  be- 
fore him,  but  he  cast  him  down  to  the 
ground,  and  stamped  upon  him:  and 
there  was  none  that  could  deliver  the 
ram  out  of  his  hand. 

8  Therefore  the  he  goat  waxed  very 
great:  and  when  he  was  strong,  the 
great  horn  was  broken;  and  for  it 
came  up  four  notable  ones  toward  the 
four  winds  of  heaven. 

9  And  out  of  one  of  them  came 
forth  a  little  horn,  which  waxed  ex- 
ceeding great,  toward  the  south',  and 
toward  the  east,  and  toward  the 
pleasant  land. 

10  And  it  waxed  great,  even  to  the 
host  of  heaven;  and  it  cast  down  some 
of  the  host  and  of  the  stars  to  the 
ground,  and  stamped  upon  them. 

11  Yea,  he  magnified  himself  even 
to  the  prince  of  the  host,  and  by  him 
the  daily  sacrifice  was  taken  away, 
and  the  place  of  his  sanctuary  was 
cast  down. 


*  The  strife  for  empire  is  fittingly  symbolized 
by  the  Revelator  and  Daniel  by  a  sea  whose 
waters  are  never  still. 

tA  beast  symbolizes  a  secular  government. 
The  Revelator  calls  attention  to  the  Roman 
power  which  exercised  authority  when  John 
was  an  exile  on  Patmos.  He  principally  calls  at- 
tention to  the  Roman  empire,  but  by  symbols  he 
refers  back  to  the  Macedonian  leopard,  the  Me- 
do-Persian  bear  and  the  Babylonian  lion.  Each 
of  these  in  succession  exercised  authority  over 
nearly  the  same  territory ;  and  when  John  wrote 
it  was  all  in  the  hands  of  the  Romans;  hence  he 
unities  it  as  one  empire.

as  the  ''  feet  of  a  bear,  and  "  his 
mouth  as  the  mouth  of  a  lion:  and  the 
dragon  gave  him  his  power,  and  his 
seat,  and  great  authority. 

3  And  I  saw  one  of  his  heads  as  it 
were  wounded  to  death;  and  his  dead- 
ly wound  was  healed:  and  all  the 
world  wondered   after  the  beast. 

4  And  they  worshipped  the  dragon 
which  gave  power  unto  the  beast:  and 
they  worshipped  the  beast,  saying, 
Who   is  like   unto  the   beast?   who   is 

12  And  a  host  was  given  him 
against  the  daily  sacrifice  by  reason  of 
transgression,  and  it  cast  down  the 
truth  to  the  ground;  and  it  practised, 
and  prospered. 

21  And  the  rough  goat  is  the  king 
of  Grecia:  and  the  great  horn  that  is 
between  his  eyes  is  [Alexander]  the 
first  king. 

22  Now  that  being  broken,  whereas 
four  stood  up  for  it,  four  kingdoms 
shall  stand  up  out  of  the  nation  [Mac- 
edonia, Thrace,  Egypt  and  Syria],  but 
not  in  his  power.

arise  another  kingdom  inferior  to 
thee, 

DANIEL  vii:5  ■»  ^nd  behold  an- 
other beast,  a  second,  like  to  a  bear, 
[the  Medo-Persian  empire]  and  it 
raiseth  up  itself  on  one  side,  and  it 
had  three  ribs  in  the  mouth  of  it  be- 
tween the  teeth  of  it:  and  they  said 
thus  unto  it,  Arise,  devour  much  flesh. 

DANIEL  viii:3  Then  I  lifted  up 
mine  eyes,  and  saw,  and,  behold,  there 
stood  before  the  river  a  ram  which 
had  two  horns:  and  the  two  horns 
were  high;  but  one  was  higher  than 
the  other,  and  the  higher  came  up 
last. 

4  I  saw  the  ram  pushing  westward, 
and  northward,  and  southward;  so 
that  no  beasts  might  stand  before 
him,  neither  was  there  any  that  could 
deliver  out  of  his  hand;  but  he  did  ac- 
cording to  his  will,  and  became  great. 

20  The  ram  which  thou  sawest 
having  two  horns  are  the  kings  of 
Media  and  Persia. 

DANIEL  ii:38  And  wheresoever 
the  children  of  men  dwell,  the  beasts 
of  the  field  and  the  fowls  of  the  heav- 
en hath  he  given  into  thine  hand,  and 


able  to  make  war  with  him? 

5  And  there  was  given  unto  him 
'  a  mouth  speaking  great  things  and 
blasphemies;  and  power  was  given  un- 
to him  to  continue  forty  and  two 
months. 

6  And  he  opened  his  mouth  in 
blasphemy  against  God,  to  blaspheme 
his  name,  and  his  tabernacle,  and 
them  that  dwell  in  heaven. 

7  And  it  was  given  unto  him  s  to 
make     war     with     the    saints,  and  to 

hath  made  thee  [Nebuchadnezzar]  rul- 
er over  them  all.  Thou  art  this  head 
of  gold. 

DANIEL  vii:4  •'The  first  was  like 
a  lion  [Babylonia]  and  had  eagle's 
wings:  I  beheld  till  the  wings  thereof 
were  plucked,  and  it  was  lifted  up  from 
the  earth,  and  made  stand  upon  the 
feet  as  a  man,  and  a  man's  heart  was 
given  to  it. 

DANIEL  vii:8  H  considered  the 
horns,  and,  behold,  there  came  up 
among  them  another  little  horn,  before 
whom  there  were  three  of  the  first 
horns  plucked  up  by  the  roots:  and, 
behold,  in  this  horn  were  eyes  like  the 
eyes  of  man,  and  a  mouth  speaking 
great  things. 

11  I  beheld  then,  because  of  the 
voice  of  the  great  words  which  the 
horn  spake:  I  beheld  even  till  the 
beast  was  slain,  and  his  body  de- 
stroyed, and  given  to  the  burning 
fiame. 

25  And  he  spake  great  words 
against  the  Most  High,  and  shall  wear 
out  the  saints  of  the  Most  High,  and 
think  to  change  times  and  laws:  and 
they  shall  be  given  into  his  hand  until 
a  time  and  times  and  the  dividing  of

do  according  to  his  will;  and  he  shall

image  of  the  beast  should  both  speak,

sell,  save  he  that  had  the  mark,  or  the

his  name. 

18  Here  is  °  wisdom.  Let  him  that 
hath  understanding  count  the  number 
of  the  beast:  for  it  is  the  number  of  a 
man;  and  his  number  is  Six  hundred 
threescore  and  six.

The  Lamb  and  his  company. 

1  And  I  looked,  and,  lo,  a  Lamb 
stood  on  the  mount  Sion,  and  with 
him  a  hundred  forty  and  four  thou- 
sand, having  his  Father's  name  writ- 
ten in  their  foreheads. 

2  And  I  heard  a  voice  from  heav- 
en, as  the  voice  of  many  waters,  and 
as  the  voice  of  a  great  thunder:  and  I 

and  consumed  him  and  his  fifty.

four  beasts,  and  the  elders:  and  no 
man  could  learn  that  song  but  the 
hundred  and  forty  and  four  thousand, 
which  were  redeemed  from  the  earth. 

4  These  are  they  which  were  not

1  And  I  saw  another  sign  in  heav-

having  the  seven  last  plagues;  for  in 
them  is  fllled  up  the  wrath  of  God.

Go  your  ways,  and  pour  out  the  vials 
of  the  wrath  of  God  upon  the  earth. 

2  And  the  first  went,  and  poured 
out  his  vial  upon  the  earth;  and  "  there 
fell  a  noisome  and  grievous  sore  upon 
the  men  which  had  the  mark  of  the 
beast,  and  upon  them  which  wor- 
shipped his  image. 

3  And  the  second  angel  poured  out 
his  vial  upon  the  sea;  and  '''it  became 
as  the  blood  of  a  dead  man:  and  every 
living  soul  died  in  the  sea.

his  vial  upon  the  rivers  and  fountains 
of  waters;   and  they  became  blood.

boils;  for  the  boil  was  upon  the  magi-

EXODUS  vii:17  "Thus  saith  the 
Lord,  In  this  thou  shalt  know  that  I

the  rod  that  is  in  mine  hand  upon  the 
waters  which  are  in  the  river,  and  they 
shall  be  turned  to  blood. 

20  And  Moses  and  Aaron  did  so,  as 
the  Lord  commanded;  and  he  lifted  up 
the  rod,  and  smote  the  waters  that 
were  in  the  river,  in  the  sight  of  Phar- 
aoh, and  in  the  sight  of  his  servants;

saints  and  prophets,  and  ^  thou  hast 
given  them  blood  to  drink;  for  they 
are  worthy. 

7  And  I  heard  another  out  of  the 
altar  say.  Even  so,  Lord  God  Al- 
mighty, true  and  righteous  are  thy 
judgments.

his  vial  upon  the  sun;  and  power  was 
given  unto  him  to  scorch  men  with 
fire. 

9  And  men  were  scorched  with 
great  heat,  and  blasphemed  the  name 
of  God,  which  hath  power  over  these 
plagues:  and  "they  repented  not  to

pain,

heaven  because  of  their  pains  and  their 
sores,  and  repented  not  of  their  deeds.

like  frogs  come  out  of  the  mouth  of 
the  dragon,  and  out  of  the  mouth  of 
the  beast,  and  out  of  the  mouth  of  the

unto  the  kings  of  the  earth  and  of  the

fierceness  of  his  wrath. 

20  And  every  island  fled  away,  and 
the  mountains  were  not  found. 

21  And  there  fell  upon  men  a  great 
hail  out  of  heaven,  every  stone  about 
the  weight  of  a  talent:  and  men  blas- 
phemed God  because  of  ^  the  plague 
of  the  hail;  for  the  plague  thereof  was 
exceeding  great. 

CHAPTER  XVII. 
The  mystery  of  Babylon. 

1  And  there  came  one  of  the  seven 
angels  which  had  the  seven  vials,  and 
talked  with  me,  saying  unto  me,  Come 
hither:  I  will  shew  unto  thee  the  judg- 
ment of  "  the  great  whore  *>  that  sit- 
teth  upon  many  waters; 

2  With  whom  the  kings  of  the  earth 
Lave  committed  fornication,  and  "  the 
inhabitants  of  the  earth  have  been 
made  drunk  with  the  wine  of  her  for- 
nication. 

3  So  he  carried  me  away  in  the 
spirit  into  the  wilderness:  and  I  saw 
a  woman  sit  upon  a  scarlet  coloured 
beast,  full  of  names  of  blasphemy, 
having  seven  heads  and  ten  horns. 

4  And  the   woman  was  arrayed  in 

on  the  land  of  Egypt. 

24  So  there  was  hail,  and  fire 
mingled  with  the  hail,  very  grievous, 
such  as  there  was  none  like  it  in  all 
the  land  of  Egypt  since  it  became  a  na- 
tion. 

25  And  the  hail  smote  throughout 
all  the  land  of  Egypt  all  that  was  in 
the  field,  both  man  and  beast;  and  the 
hail  smote  every  herb  of  the  field,  and 
brake  every  tree  of  the  field.

up  both  the  bright  sword  and  the 
glittering  spear:  and  there  is  a  multi-

carcasses;  and  there  is  none  end  of 
their  corpses;  they  stumble  upon  their 
corpses:

whoredoms  of  the  well  favoured  har- 
lot, the  mistress  cf  witchcrafts,  that 
selleth     nations    through    her  whore-

with  gold  and  precious  stones  and 
pearls,  •■  having  a  golden  cup  in  her 
hand  full  of  abominations  and  filthi-

name  written,  MYSTERY,  BABYLON 
THE  GREAT,  THE  MOTHER  OF 
HARLOTS  AND  ABOMINATIONS  OF 
THE  EARTH. 

6  And  I  saw  the  woman  drunken 
with  the  blood  of  the  saints,  and  with 
the  blood  of  the  martyrs  of  Jesus:  and 
when  I  saw  her,  I  wondered  with  great 
admiration. 

7  And  the  angel  said  unto  me. 
Wherefore  didst  thou  marvel?  I  will 
tell  thee  the  mystery  of  the  woman, 
and  of  the  beast  that  carrieth  her, 
which  hath  the  seven  heads  and  ten 
horns. 

8  That  beast  that  thou  sawest  was, 
and  is  not;  and  shall  ascend  out  of  the 
bottomless  pit,  and  go  into  perdition:

wonder,  whose  names  were  not  writ-

power  as  kings  one  hour  with  the

The  Sins  of  Babylon

4  And  I  heard  another  voice  from 
heaven,  saying,  "^  Come  out  of  her,  my 
people,  that  ye  be  not  partakers  of  her 
sins,  and  that  ye  receive  not  of  her 
plagues. 

5  *  For  her  sins  have  reached  unto 
heaven,  and  God  hath  remembered  her 
iniquities. 

6  '  Reward     her     even     as    she  re-

GENESIS  xix:12  -^  And  the  men 
said  unto  Lot,  Hast  thou  here  any  be-

this  place: 

ISAIAH  xlviii:20  Go  ye  forth  of 
Babylon,  flee  ye  from  the  Chaldeans, 
with  a  voice  of  singing  declare  ye,  tell 
this,  utter  it  even  to  the  end  of  the 
earth;  say  ye,  The  Lord  hath  redeemed 
his  servant  Jacob. 

ISAIAH  Hi:  11  Depart  ye.  depart  ye, 
go  ye  out  from  thence  [Jerusalem], 
touch  no  unclean  thing;  go  ye  out  of 
the  midst  of  her;  be  ye  clean,  that  bear 
the  vessels  of  the  Lord. 

JEREMIAH  1:8  Remove  out  of  the 
midst  of  Babylon,  and  go  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  the  Chaldeans,  and  be  as 
the  he  goats  before  the  flocks. 

JEREMIAH  li:6  Flee  out  of  the 
midst  of  Babylon,  and  deliver  every 
man  his  soul:  be  not  cut  off  in  her  ini- 
quity; for  this  is  the  time  of  the 
Lord's  vengeance;  he  will  render  unto 
her  a  recompense. 

45  My  people,  go  ye  out  of  the 
midst  of  her,  and  deliver  ye  every  man 
his  soul  from  the  fierce  anger  of  the 
Lord. 

GENESIS  xviii:20  "And  the  Lord 
said.  Because  the  cry  of  Sodom  and 
Gomorrah  is  great,  and  because  their 
sin  is  very  grievous, 

21  I  will  go  down  now,  and  see 
whether  they  have  done  altogether  ac- 
cording to  the  cry  of  it.  which  is  come 
unto  me;  and  if  not,  I  will  know. 

JEREMIAH  li:9  We  would  have 
healed  Babylon,  but  she  is  not  healed: 
forsake  her,  and  let  us  go  every  one 
into  his  own  country':  for  her  judg-

double  according  to  her  works:  in  the

double.

herself,  and  lived  deliciously,  so  much 
torment  and  sorrow  give  her:  for  she 
saith  in  her  heart,  I  sit  ''  a  queen,  and 
am  no  widow,  and  shall  see  no  sorrow. 

Amittai,  saying,

city,  and  cry  against  it;  for  their 
wickedness  is  come  up  before  me.

Babylon,  who  art  to  be  destroyed; 
happy  shall  he  be,  that  rewardeth  thee

JEREMIAH  1:15  Shout  against  her 
round  about:  she  hath  given  her  hand: 
her  foundations  are  fallen,  her  walls 
are  thrown  down;  for  it  is  the  venge- 
ance of  the  Lord:  take  vengeance  up- 
on her:  as  she  hath  done,  do  unto  her. 

29  Call  together  the  archers  against 
Babylon:  all  ye  that  bend  the  bow, 
camp  against  it  round  about;  let  none 
thereof  escape:  recompense  her  ac- 
cording to  her  work;  according  to  all 
that  she  hath  done,  do  unto  her:  for 
she  hath  been  proud  against  the  Lord, 
against  the  Holy  One  of  Israel. 

JEREMIAH  li:24  And  I  will  ren-

they  have  done  in  Zion  in  your  sight,

ECCLESIASTES  xii:13  Let  us

man. 

14  For  God  shall  bring  every  work 
into  judgment,  with  every  secret  thing, 
whether  it  be  good,  or  whether  it  be 
evil.

the  first  earth  were  passed  away;  and 
there  was  ''  no  more  sea. 

2  And  I  John  "  saw  the  holy  city, 
new  Jerusalem,  coming  down  from 
God  out  of  heaven,  prepared  as  "^  a 
bride  adorned  for  her  husband.
